The 2019 VFL and VFLW fixtures have been released, with fans of the brown and gold set for several state league blockbusters.
The reigning VFL premiers will kick off the action on Sunday April 7th in emphatic fashion - with a grand final replay against the Casey Demons in front of a home crowd at Box Hill City Oval.
Box Hill may also be destined for home game on the hallowed MCG turf in 2019, with its Round 6 fixture against Footscray tentatively locked in as part of a new agreement between the MCC and AFL.
The VFL season will span over 21 rounds, with Hawks’ byes in rounds five, 10 and 17.
