SECOND-YEAR Hawk Daniel Howe is among three big inclusions for Box Hill Hawks' must-win clash with Werribee at Box Hill Hawks on Sunday afternoon.
Howe has overcome a calf injury and will make a return, with last week's AFL debutant, Blake Hardwick, and travelling emergency Dallas Willsmore also back for Box Hill Hawks.
After injuring his ankle in the early stages of Box Hill's match last week, Billy Hartung has been named to play.
The Hawks sit two games outside the VFL top eight with four games remaining in the home-and-away season, and need to defeat the Tigers to keep their slim finals chances alive.
Fifteen Hawthorn-listed players have been named in the Box Hill side.
The Hawks will be chasing their first win Round 9.
Earlier this season when the Hawks met the Tigers, it was a late goal to North Melbourne-listed forward Aaron Black which secured a two-point win for Werribee.
