BOX HILL made amends for recent losses when it recorded its third win of the year in trying conditions at Preston yesterday, defeating the Northern Bullants by 36 points, 13.14 (92) to 7.14 (56)

Kicking with the aid of a strong end-to-end wind, Box Hill was quick out of the blocks and took a 37-point lead at the quarter-time break. The Bullants found it exceptionally hard kicking against the wind, but made good use of the gale in the second quarter.

Thanks to some brilliant ruck work from Sam Jacobs, the Bullants managed to keep the ball in their forward 50 for the majority of the quarter, but were wasteful with their shots on goal. Steven Browne and Darren Pfeiffer were excellent around the stoppages while Jarrod Bannister and David Teague were also useful contributors. The Hawks managed one goal and two behinds against the wind, almost mirroring their opponent's first-quarter effort, but still held an eight-point lead at half-time.

Cousins won\'t play this year: Ayres

PORT Melbourne coach Gary Ayres says Ben Cousins will not play in the VFL this season.

The 2005 Brownlow medallist registered with second-placed Borough before the June 30 deadline and must play one game to qualify for the finals.

But Ayres, who expects Cousins to start training with the club in August, said it was unlikely the four-time West Coast best-and-fairest winner would play for Port this season.

"I spoke to him the Monday after the registration went through," Ayres said.

Grandstand: Round 15 Preview

ABC Grandstand VFL travels to Cramer St this Saturday for the big Round 15 clash between the Bullants and Box Hill, with all the action on ABC1 from 1pm.

It’s a split round, so both teams will be looking to go into the break on a high; the Bullants to try and cement a place in the top eight and the Hawks to regain some pride after a difficult season.

The boys from Box Hill are currently languishing in last spot on the ladder, having won just two games for the year. But there is no doubt they will be fired up for this clash, with both coach Barry Mitchell and big forward Digby Morrell coming up against their old club.
