Selection: Hawks Hunt Final Round Win
The Box Hill Hawks have made four changes to the 23 which fell to a first defeat since round 10 last weekend, as Zane Littlejohn’s charges look to rebound and end the home and away season on a winning note.
Into the squad come Sam Frost, Cody Anderson, Sam Durdin and debutant Tom Farrer; while omitted from the team on balance are the unlucky quartet of Billy Hicks, Daniel Wood, Blake Simondson and Lachy Dovaston.
Frost and Durdin are welcome additions, with the pair missing last weekend’s loss due to an ankle knock and illness, respectively, while Cody Anderson will be hoping to pick up where he left off against Williamstown some four weeks ago.
The developing inside mid had been in excellent touch prior to picking up a niggle in the come-from-behind win over the Seagulls, racking up 20 or more disposals in each of his past four games at the level. The Eastern Ranges product has only improved as the season has progressed, impressing with his work in and around the contest, spread and ability to win his own footy.
The final named in is Old Scotch’s Tom Farrer, who has won his opportunity on the back of strong VAFA form and excellent training standards throughout the course of the year. J
Any changes to the selected 23 will be communicated prior to Sunday’s first bounce, which is scheduled for 1:05pm.
