After an impressive 34-point win over Collingwood in Round 1, the Hawks appear unlikely to pull too many changes heading into their Easter Monday clash against Geelong.

A trio of defenders could be in the mix should Ryan Burton fail to come up after injuring his ankle against the Pies.

David Mirra, Kaiden Brand and Kurt Heatherley had strong VFL outings, earning praise from Coach Chris Newman.

“They were really solid in the back half going after their marks,” he said.

They got the balance right between marking and spoiling this week… [and] they were three of our highest contributors in regards to pressure acts.”

Half back Conor Glass and wingman Harry Morrison could also be considered after serving as emergencies for the AFL side in Round 1. 

Meanwhile, draftee James Worpel continues to press his case for a senior debut. The 19-year-old kicked 2.2 drifting forward and provided Box Hill with a strong contest through the middle of the ground, showing versatility that could prove fruitful at AFL level.
