Review Round 17: Box Hill Hawks v Casey Scorpions, 9 August 2015, 2.00pm @ BHCO

[Dixie Flatline]

The Hawks comfortably defeated the Richmond Tigers last weekend to return to the winners' list and will host the Casey Scorpions on Sunday. The Hawks will look to consolidate their top two finish as we reach the final stages of the home & away season. They are still level on points with Williamstown but are percentage off top spot at the moment. In the meantime, the Scorpions will hope to bounce back on the road after suffering a loss at home to the Werribee Tigers. But if results fall their way and they upset the Box Hill Hawks they could rapidly climb the ladder, as they are a game and percentage behind the Footscray Bulldogs in fourth place. By the same token, the Scorpions haven't quite secured their spot in the finals, being two games ahead of Port Melbourne and Geelong.

The Development Squad will look to maintain their unbeaten streak as they host the Casey Scorpions reserves from 11am on Sunday.

For those looking to go to the ground, bear in mind that the much-loved jumping castle will make a return to Box Hill City Oval as the Hawks and Scorpions celebrate multi-cultural round. There will also be a special guest appearance from Hawka plus free show bags for the children.

As per usual 3WBC will have live coverage from 1pm on 94.1FM, www.3wbc.org.au and via the TuneIn app on the smart device. The Box Hill Hawks will also post updates to their twitter account: www.twitter.com/boxhillhawks.

Teams to follow.

Willsmore at fullback?

Surely not?

Willsmore at fullback?

Surely not?

Strange because he needs to work on playing in front and putting his body on the line.

Entry into Box Hill home games?

Does a Hawthorn membership allow me to gain entry?

It will but you should have got a letter with your membership to get your box hill membership

Ah yes, I remember getting that. I'll dig it up. Thanks mate

 

[deano the hawka]

Finally there might be a game at home where it's not raining! Or have I jinxed it...

I'll be there today, so post match summary when I'm back.

 

[Hawks1994]

Haven't been to a BH game in a few years now. Really looking forward to watching the young guys

What is the parking situation like around the ground?

I'd call it frustrating. There's quite a few side streets there but there's a lot of permit zone areas and one side of many side streets says no parking at all on Saturdays and Sundays

I hope the development squad remembers how to win the close ones Closeness is all about perspective really.

3/4 TIME Box Hill 11.9.75 lead Casey 3.6.24 in a real nail-biter.

God that team is ridiculously good. That said, does this mean they do know how to win when it's close, or not!

Mind you, I guess every match starts off with the scores tied, so maybe they can play well when it's close

Subtle Sarcasm noted....Lets just hope they knock Willy off in the Big Dance, when it counts this time.

 

[Bonscott1980]

Big win by the boys there

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

The sun is shining!!! I will wander over shortly

GO STANGERS!!!

 

[Procrastinator35]

Lawlor goals: Box Hill 6-0

 

[houdinihuddo]

The development team start every quarter on level terms and then strive to win the quarter. I would be surprised if they have lost more than one quarter in any game and more than 10% of the quarters this season. It's 35C on the Mekong River in Cambodia, life is tough.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Swiss goals: Box Hill 13-1

 

[Procrastinator35]

Lock & Lawlor goal: Box Hill 4.3.27-2.1.13 Casey

That's the 1/4 time score

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Have to stay home to look after a sick child (we are watching Clone Wars on Netflix at the moment) so no live updates from me today.
