The Box Hill men will be the Hawks' sole representative at state level this weekend, as the Hawthorn women enjoy a well deserved break with a Round 4 bye.
The Hawks will head to Werribee for their first taste of the renovated and revamped Avalon Airport Oval this Saturday, with the in-form Kangaroos their opponent.
23 listed Hawthorn players have been tentatively named in the Box Hill squad, before the AFL side confirms its Round 10 team this evening.
James Worpel, Kaiden Brand and Daniel Howe will return to VFL level, with Ryan Burton, Ricky Henderson and David Mirra also a chance after being placed on Hawthorn's extended bench.

One thing that is a certainty is there’ll be a debutant in the change rooms, with Ryan McGannon named as 23rd man and set to don the brown and gold for the first time.
The team will be finalised prior to bounce, and the match will be broadcast live on Channel 7.
