Hawks prepare for VFL Preliminary Final against Essendon

The Box Hill Hawks are set to host Essendon in a VFL Preliminary Final at Box Hill City Oval, with a spot in the Grand Final at stake. The match is officially sold out, and supporters are encouraged to arrive early due to limited parking and expected capacity crowds.

In related AFL news, Hawthorn defender Josh Battle expressed a desire to make amends for last year’s preliminary final exit as the team prepares for their own upcoming finals series. Following a qualifying final victory against Fremantle, the Hawks are preparing to face either the Brisbane Lions or Adelaide at the MCG to determine who advances to the Grand Final.
