GM Football Operations Chris Fagan today told Hawks TV that Brian Lake will be available for selection against the Goald Coast this week.

Lake received a knock against the Swans on the knee he had injured earlier in the season, but it was able to settle and Lake returned to the field.

Grant Birchall also suffered an ankle injury and remains a 50/50 chance to play in Launceston.

Fagan also gave an insight into Ben McEvoy and Matt Spangher’s progress with injury.
