And now O'Brien out-points Frost to mark.

They cut us open on transition, Switkowski marks... goes back... and nails it from in front of the cricket nets...

7-15

Turnover on the kick-out, Indovino the crumb, to Gray, Dolly hacks it to a contest at FF, gets over the back, Clokey 4th in line the rove, the open goal and GETS ON THE BOARD!

14-15

From the repeat bounce in the middle, Borthwick scrambles a high one inside 50, the Box Hill defence try to run it out... someone's been knocked off here... throwing against the Hawks!

Cox, from 45m, 45d... touched on the line... no, it's a GOAL!

20-15

Forward pressure creating these goals, but we're starting to get back into it around the stoppage...

Throw in 50 out, scoreboard side.

Pitches short of the ruckman, ricochets off Witts' shin, Moloney the rove, scrambles a kick to the square, CLOKE BEING HELD, no free, Ferguson the crumb, wheels around, centring kick, GOOD VISION, finds Golds!

From 35m, 45d... GOAL!

26-15

Webster from 40m 40d... misses...

Doing both, actually! Doing the old school thing of watching live while listening on the transistor. Makes calling a bit easier...

There is a push to have a home final played at Vic Park.

Grand Final will be at Docklands...

Box Hill are the premier 1st quarter side in the comp (we're 2nd), but tend to tail off badly as the game wears on. Here's hoping we can bank that lead and either hold it or extend it as the day wears on.

For context, there is a bit of a breeze favouring that scoreboard end (right of screen), but it's really blowing diagonally across the ground, cricket net pocket to member's social club pocket...

2nd term underway!
