Team announcement: Round 15
Box Hill will be buoyed by the return of premiership ruckman Marc Pittonet when the Hawks meets Frankston this Sunday at SkyBus Stadium.
The 23-year-old has missed the last two games after sustaining concussion in the side’s Round 12 win over Sandringham.
Pittonet is enjoying an impressive season to date, averaging 37 hit outs, 16 disposals and three marks across his eight appearances in 2019.
He will join fellow AFL-listed player Jon Ceglar in a two-pronged ruck attack set to take on the Dolphins.
Exciting defender Changkuoth Jiath has also been named to make his return, having made a speedy recovery from a fractured jaw.
Max Bailey’s squad features 17 AFL-listed players, including Conor Glass who returns from seven consecutive senior games, and 14 VFL players.
The sixth-placed Hawks will be needing a win to stay within touch of the top four, while the 15th-placed Dolphins continue the hunt for their second win of the season.
