Good and bad news regarding hawks

[BW]

Vice-captains Daniel Chick and Nick Holland, ruckman Shaun Rehn are expected back in the Hawks line-up alongside John Barker who returns after a one-match suspension for striking.

Skipper Shane Crawford is another week away from being fully fit after overcoming ankle and knee injuries.

Luke McPharlin will be rested this Saturday with a groin complaint. He is expected to resume next week.

Trent Croad, Aaron Lord, Kris Barlow, Chance Bateman, Glen Bowyer and Lance Picioane, who all represented Box Hill in Sunday's exciting seven-point victory against Murray Kangaroos, are also available for selection.

Peter Schwab was on one of the TV Channels' news, and said he would be very disappointed if any of Rehn, Holland and Chick were unavailable again.

If Holland did play, he would be very rusty - hasn't played in around 6 weeks, and didn't play for Box Hill as was touted in the media last week.

Put Martyn on Holland to test out the strength in that bung shoulder if he plays, and a really quick player (Pickett?) on Chick to really push his bung hammy.

Blueworms, cheers for posting all of these updates. I reckon you've just saved me a half hour in trying to track down all this stuff on the various footy news sites for myself.

Now I can go watch Big Brother!

Spot on darky, all four of them would be rusty. I doubht all four could turn it on at once.
