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.

WITH its finals aspirations now extinguished, Tasmania's VFL focus will turn to ensuring it doesn't collect a second consecutive wooden spoon.
The Devils currently sit in 13th spot, only percentage behind Collingwood and just one win above last-placed Box Hill.
It is a mixed run home for the Devils, with games against the Pies and Hawks to
come -- but stern tests against Williamstown (second), ladder leader North
Ballarat and Frankston (eighth) mixed in.
Last weekend's bye gave some of the playing group the chance to rest, while
others returned to local clubs to find form and confidence.
Despite coming off a second smashing for the year against Sandringham last
round, skipper Brett Geappen is confident of finishing the season on a positive
note.
