While the Hawks are unlikely to make too many changes to its side that defeated the Bombers, Jonathan O’Rourke has put himself in the frame for a return against the Cats.

After picking up 29 disposals through the midfield for Box Hill, the 24-year-old will be a chance to earn a senior recall after being omitted from the Round 20 line up. 

James Cousins was another important contributor for Box Hill as the side overcame Collingwood by seven points. 

The young midfielder continued his solid season gathering 24 disposals and taking six marks.

Defender David Mirra was also in good form down back, picking up with 24 disposals to go with eight marks, while Irishman Conor Nash was again an imposing figure up forward and remains a chance to debut in 2018.

Marc Pittonet, meanwhile, remains an outside chance to join fellow ruckman Jon Ceglar in the AFL side after 53 hit-outs, 19 disposals and seven marks on the weekend.
