The Hawks resume after the bye for the SANFL v VFL game (in which David Mirra and Max Warren played, representing Box Hill) with their first game at home in a month (great fixturing, AFL Victoria. 
). As a special additional bonus, this game also does not conflict with Hawthorn's home game.
In fact, it's the first of two straight home games for the Hawks before they're back on the road in round 11 with a trip to Kardinia Park and a game against the Cats.
The Hawks unfortunately couldn't get the chocolates in their last two games, going down to the Scorpions by seven points under the lights at Casey Fields in round 7, having lost their round 6 game to the Werribee Tigers by two points.
The two consecutive losses has seen Box Hill slip to third on the ladder, a win behind Williamstown and two wins behind Casey, although the Hawks have a game in hand on both clubs. However, the Hawks can't afford to slip up for a third straight round against the Roosters, with the Hawks in third on percentage only ahead of Sandringham, Essendon, Footscray, Port Melbourne, Werribee and Collingwood (in ninth). This early in the season, the Hawks could find themselves clinging on to a finals spot with a loss.
The Roosters, on the other hand, have not yet kick-started their season, with just one win from their first six games (which came in the first round with a six point win over fellow cellar-dweller Coburg). The Roosters, in fact, have been on the receiving end of some fearsome whippings so the Hawks will be liking their chances of bouncing back.
The development squad follows up a bye for the SANFL v VFL game with (yep, you guessed it) another bye. They resume on the Queen's Birthday long weekend with a home game against the Northern Blues.
As far as I'm aware, there's no TV coverage (certainly none on Channel 7). 3WBC will cover the game live on 94.1FM and via their website at www.3wbc.org.au. The Box Hill Hawks will also provide regular updates through twitter at www.twitter.com/boxhillhawks and I'm sure, given it's a Box Hill home game, there will be regular posts throughout the day from those in attendance.
Team to follow tonight.
