VFLW Selection: VFLW Hawks Face Essendon Challenge
The Box Hill Hawks VFLW side play their first game at the Kennedy Community Centre this Saturday afternoon for a Round 11 clash against Essendon.
With the 2026 VFLW season entering its final stretch, the Hawks will be looking to build momentum and continue their push towards the closing rounds against an Essendon outfit that has proven to be a strong competitor throughout the season.
The last time the two sides met was during the 2025 VFLW season, where Box Hill and Essendon played out a hard-fought contest. The Hawks will be eager to produce another competitive performance and secure an important win this weekend.
After showing positive signs in recent weeks, Box Hill will once again rely on its trademark pressure around the contest, disciplined team defence and efficient ball movement to challenge the Bombers. A four-quarter performance will be key as the Hawks look to make the most of their opportunities going forward.
With only a handful of games remaining in the home-and-away season, every match carries added importance. The Hawks will be aiming to deliver another determined performance in front of their supporters and continue building confidence heading into the final rounds.
