Hawthorn is preparing for its first cross-club hit-out of 2021, with a match simulation practice game scheduled against the Western Bulldogs on Wednesday 24 February at Whitten Oval.
In line with AFL protocols, the Hawks v Bulldogs match will not be opened to the public. However, Hawthorn members will be able to share in the action by watching the extensive game coverage via hawthornfc.com.au.
The match simulation is a welcome addition to the Hawks' pre-season schedule as they look to gain match fitness ahead of the club's upcoming AAMI Community Series hit-out - a Tasmanian showdown against North Melbourne on Saturday 6 March. Members and fans will be welcomed into UTAS Stadium, with tickets to go on sale in the coming weeks.
