Round 12 Ins & Outs
For the Box Hill Hawks this weekend’s match-up against the Suns represents an opportunity to further cement a place in the VFL’s top four; for two young men, the hit out represents a significant milestone in their football journey.
Saturday morning’s early start will see the brown and gold debuts of VFL-listed defender Charlie Beasley, the younger brother of Hugh, and Seamus Mitchell, the young Hawk midfielder taken with pick 29 in the 2020 National Draft.
The pair will take to City Oval come 11am supported by a relatively settled side out to record a fifth win in succession.
The Hawks can call on the services of 14 AFL-listed players for the match against the visiting Gold Coast, with the selection squeeze no doubt causing several constructive conversations at match committee.
James Cousins has been named to complement a midfield group boasting two of the competition’s most in form ball-winners in Brayden Kilpatrick and Oliver Hanrahan. That trio look set to be supported by the dash and creativity of the developing Jack Saunders and inside work of an in form Finn Maginness.
Captain Damian Masictti and versatile tall Keegan Brooksby are the last two standing when it comes to a one hundred percent selection record, with defenders Stu Horner and Mason De Wit rested having featured in all eight of the Hawks’ home and away hit-outs thus far.
Gates at City Oval will open at 9:30am for a 11am start. We wish to advise patrons planning to attend that per current restrictions the venue’s game day capacity is capped at 1,000. If that capacity is reached no further patrons will be allowed entry.
INS: H. Pepper, J. Cousins, S. Mitchell (NEW), C. Beasley (NEW)
OUTS: C. Nash, D. Greaves, S. Horner, M De Wit
