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.

ROHAN McHUGH has earned a recall for North Ballarat's encounter with Geelong in the Victorian Football League in Geelong tomorrow.

McHugh has not played since North Ballarat's heavy loss to the Northern Bullants on May 18.

Having made his senior debut in the opening round, he played the opening seven matches before being dropped in the fall-out from the Bullants calamity.

McHugh is one of three compulsory changes for the Selkirk Roosters, which meet the Cats in the curtain-raiser AFL match of the day between Geelong and Western Bulldogs.

Cheep rides bumps to chalk up 50 games for VFL Cats

IT\'S taken six years and a few painful hurdles, but Geelong VFL midfielder Jay Cheep will play his 50th VFL match tomorrow morning against North Ballarat at Skilled Stadium.

Cheep turned recruiters\' heads in 2002 after a season that earned him TAC Cup team of the year selection and third place in the Calder Cannons best and fairest.

After missing out in that year\'s national draft, Essendon invited him to train for a place on its rookie list, before he succumbed to the dreaded osteitis pubis and missed the cut.

A year later, despite missing the entire 2003 season, Richmond came knocking, but ultimately decided against Cheep after he suffered shin splints.

Veteran Demon Adem Yze in no hurry to hang up boots

ADEM Yze has declared he will play on next year. He is happy to play at a lower level if not given another senior chance.

Yze, languishing at VFL club Sandringham as Melbourne turns to youth, is in the final year of a contract at the Demons.

Yze will almost certainly have to go elsewhere to build on his 14-year AFL career.

Despite playing only four games this year, Yze is confident he could play a role with a club in flag contention looking to top-up with experience.
