Hawthorn will look to win its ninth straight VFLW game when it travels to Port Melbourne on Sunday.
The Hawks last met the Borough in the final round of the 2021 VFLW season and prevailed by eight points at Box Hill.
This time around, Hawthorn’s line-up will be bolstered by fan favourites Abbey Holmes and Jess Trend.

Hawthorn has also welcomed Eastern Ranges product Charlie Granville and Gippsland Power young gun Leesa Guastella into the side for their debut games.
