Whilst the boys prepare for their Pre-Season Camp in Angelsea this weekend, the builders are hard at work constructing the new South Pavilion at Box Hill City Oval.

In fact, the ground has been transformed into a large building site with cranes, trucks and builders swarming the area on a regular basis as they approach the late June construction deadline.

FORMER Melbourne player Adem Yze has joined Box Hill in the VFL.

Yze, 31, was delisted by the Demons and nominated for the pre-season draft before agreeing to sign on with Box Hill for 2009.

Drafted with pick 16 in the 1994 national draft, Yze played 271 matches including 226 consecutive games — the second-longest streak in VFL/AFL history.

He played six games last season after eight the previous year, when he was restricted by injury.

2008 REIGNING AFL premiers Hawthorn have strengthened their Tasmanian connection with the appointment of Brendon Bolton as coach of their VFL affiliate Box Hill.

The Tasmanian has previously coached North Hobart and Clarence on the island state as well as the now-disbanded Tassie Devils in the VFL. 

"I am a life-long learner and am happy to be working with Hawthorn senior coach Alastair Clarkson and continuing to challenge the way things should be done," Bolton said. 

The Hawks have also appointed former Essendon player David Flood as a development coach. 

Flood, who played 54 games for the Bombers from 1986-94, was a development coach at Essendon from 1999-2003, the senior coach of VFL club Coburg in 2004-2005 and of TAC Cup side Calder Cannons for the past two years.

BOX HILL climbed off the bottom of the VFL ladder yesterday with a surprise victory against fourth-placed Casey.

Victory seemed a distant dream at quarter-time when the Hawks trailed a more determined Casey by 16 points.

And when the Hawks started the second term as they played the first — giving away more free kicks than they could afford — hopes of an upset faded.

Yet, despite some undisciplined play the Hawks somehow managed to reduce the half-time margin to 12 points.
