The Hawks’ VFL and VFLW sides will play out another double header on Saturday, this time at Punt Road as both sides take on Richmond.

The Box Hill Hawks will kick things off at 11.30am as they look to bring down the top-of-the-table Tigers.

The home side has lost just two games for the season, and currently sits 13 percent clear on top of the ladder, while the Hawks, who are currently 6-4, will need a win in order to stay in touch with the top four.

Changkuoth Jiath has been named to make his VFL return. The youngster was on his way back from a groin complaint, before injuring his ankle at training three weeks ago. 

A product of Hawthorn’s Next Generation Academy, Jiath should provide the Hawks with some added leg speed and flair.

The Hawthorn women will then follow with their Round 8 hit out against Richmond. The Hawks currently sit in fourth, with five wins and a loss, while the Tigers aren’t too far behind, in seventh position with a 3-3 record. 

Tahni Nestor has been named in the Hawks’ extended squad after making a speedy recovery from a broken leg. 

“Her recovery has been amazing,” VFLW Football Operations Manager Briana Harvey told the club’s website on Thursday. 

“She’ll be back in the next week or so, either through local or straight into VFLW, we’ll manage her.” 

Sarah Perkins has also been named to return after missing last week’s clash against Essendon, while Dianna Haines, Clare O’Donnell, Rosie Dillon and Belle Price have been included in the line up.

Hawks fans can be treated to two big clashes for just $10 entry.

Alternatively, after half time in the VFL hit out, entry will be free.
