BOX Hill has reinforced its playing stocks with three Hawthorn-listed players included for the Hawks' Round 20 VFL clash with second-placed Collingwood tomorrow.
Matt Spangher will play after getting through restricted game time with the Box Hill Development side last week, Daniel Howe returns from injury while James Sicily has served a one-game AFL suspension and is now available to resume.
Spangher has been dogged by injury in 2016, dealing with calf issues in the pre-season and suffering a hamstring injury in the opening minutes of his first and only AFL appearance for the year in Round 10 against the Brisbane Lions.
Howe missed last week with a reoccurring calf problem which has kept him out of the AFL side since Round 17.
Ryan Schoenmakers will play his second-consecutive VFL game as he works his way back from a groin problem which has hampered the majority of his 2016 campaign.
Clarkson: Possible Schoenmakers return a ‘bonus’
After playing 56% game time last week, the 2015 premiership forward will continue to build his match conditioning in the hope of working his way back into the AFL side in the coming weeks.
Box Hill must win their last two games against Collingwood and ladder leader Casey if they are to make their way into the VFL finals in 2016.
