The Hawks’ VFL and VFLW sides are preparing for their biggest challenges of 2018, with both teams coming up against ladder-leading oppositions.
Box Hill will kick off a weekend of footy when they host Casey at home on Saturday afternoon.
The two sides have already met once this year; A Round 6 encounter that saw the Hawks fall by 39 points.
Currently fifth on the VFL ladder, Box Hill will need to win both its remaining games for a chance at a top four position.
The side will be buoyed by the inclusion of goal kicker Mitchell Lewis, who returns after a fortnight off with a shoulder complaint.
Meanwhile, the Hawthorn women have flown to Darwin in preparation for Saturday’s clash against the NT Thunder at TIO Stadium.
The Hawks are currently third on the ladder, with a percentage of 180, while the Thunder are setting the pace with 213 percent.
Hawthorn has added four names to the mix, including young gun Mikala Cann and AFLW star Pepa Randall.
