Selection: Five Changes For Visit Of Dolphins
The Box Hill Hawks have re-called five fresh faces for Saturday’s encounter with the Dolphins, adding a quartet of developing VFL and AFL-listed talent and a certain three-time premiership winning Hawk.
Luke Breust is a welcome addition to a Box Hill outfit keen to atone for a last start loss. The experienced goal-kicker has played just once for the Hawks at VFL level in 2025 – the round one win over Carlton – and was integral in a four-point victory, booting three crucial goals.
He’s joined among the ins by bullocking midfielder Cody Anderson, exciting small forward Matt Hill and the hard-working duo of Billy Hicks and Lane Ward.
Out of the side which fell to Collingwood is the trio of AFL elevations in Seamus Mitchell, Sam Butler and Max Ramsden, the injured Bodie Ryan and youngster Seb Amoroso.
Any changes to the selected 23 will be communicated prior to the first bounce – which is scheduled for 2:05pm.
