There’s a big name inclusion for this week’s visit of North Ballarat to Box Hill City Oval.
The Hawks have recalled David Mirra from injury, with the inspirational skipper set to play his first game since the round 5 win over Richmond.
Mirra’s return was always going to be welcome, but for a team out to rebound from a last start loss its also timely.
He joins Teia Miles in an extended squad, along with youngsters Jordan Walker, Sam Gibson, Connor O’Sullivan and Liam Cox.
Ins: Mirra, Miles, Walker, Gibson, O’Sullivan, Cox
Outs: Lynch, Cousins
Team to be finalised prior to bounce.
