Two sides out to rebound following their most disappointing displays of the season square off this Sunday afternoon, as the fifth-placed Northern Blues host the ladder leading Box Hill Hawks at Preston City Oval.

Key defender Ayden Kennedy comes back into the side following his late withdrawal last week, whilst a spate of AFL-listed Hawks are included in an extended squad (with the list to be reduced once the AFL side is finalised).

Big-man Connor O’Sullivan has been named in the squad for what could be his VFL debut.

Meanwhile, Jordan Lynch, who figured for the first time against Casey, has retained his 23rd man status, and is joined in the squad by fellow 23rd man alumnus Joseph Fisher, Nelson Lane, Jordan Walker and Vincent Adduci.

Ins: A Kennedy, T Duryea, D Howe, R Schoenmakers, R Henderson, J Sicily, L Cox, W Murphy, C O’Sullivan
Outs: M Lewis

Final teams to be announced prior to bounce.
