Box Hill Hawks have got a tough gig.
The Casey Scorpions are coming off the bye, and the Hawks play 4 days after Anzac day. Terrible fixturing - I'd be dirty if I was BHH.
We have a few fixturing issues this year, i think with the bye and split round we play once in 23 or 24 days. Or was that last year? Must consult the fixture. Unfortunately i'm away next weekend, was looking forward to seeing the new ground etc. Glad it's a telly match, have to set the timer. Let's just worry about Coburg on Tuesday!
As a scorpions follower i agree that it is extremely tough, did box hill have a say in the ANZAC day game? but even still you would think it would be fixtured for at least a sunday the Casey Vs Box Hill game it means that box hill won't get a session in between games, the week will be predominantly re-hab based.
I don't know whether Box Hill had a say in the Anzac Day Game fixturing.
However, I know that Round 4 was the target date for Casey Fields opening, that it was to be a Saturday game to catch the ABC and that the Casey Scorpions wanted to play Box Hill Hawks because the Hawthorn AFL team had a (now abandoned) relationship with the Cranbourne Football Club and the Casey area was also part of Hawthorn's earlier recruiting zone.
