Selection: Hawks Host Lions in Semi-Final
The Box Hill Hawks have made three changes ahead of Saturday’s do-or-die, win-or-go-home Semi-Final against Brisbane, re-gaining two tall options and hard-running wingman as they hope to keep their season alive.
Into the Box Hill 23 come Mitch Lewis, Sam Durdin and Blake Simondson, while the elevated pair of Josh Weddle & Sam Butler are joined by veteran small forward Ben Cavarra among the omissions.
The Hawks will again be skippered by Stu Horner as Club Captain Cal Porter continues to rehab a muscle strain, with fellow star Kye Declase suiting up for his second game back from the injury which sidelined him from round 16 through to the end of the home and away season.
All told, Box Hill’s squad is comprised of 15 AFL and 8 VFL-listed players.
Fans wishing to attend the game are encouraged to pre-purchase their tickets via this link. Ticket sales will be available on the gate, but please bear in mind there will be card sales only.
Any changes to the selected 23 will be communicated prior to Saturday’s first bounce, which is scheduled for 11:40am
