The possible return of Sam Switkowski headlines half a dozen additions to the Box Hill squad that defeated the Northern Blues last weekend, though he will have to prove his fitness before Sunday’s visit of Williamstown.

“Switta” hasn’t played since his starring role in the draw at North Port Oval, during which he lit up Channel 7’s Match of the Day with five goals in, arguably, a best-on-ground display.

In further good news, Oliver Hanrahan is in line to make his first appearance since the round 6 win at Collingwood, whilst Mitch Lewis figures again having missed last weekend.

Talented Hawk Dallas Willsmore is named and could feature for the eighth time this campaign, during which he averages a touch over 22 disposals playing predominantly off a wing.

Ins: Willsmore, Hanrahan, Lewis, Murphy, Switkowski, Williams
Outs: Stewart, Lynch

Team to be finalised prior to bounce.
