Mitch White with the reply.

Jeka of the Hawks gets first goal.

There will be at least one change as Jake Melksham was called up to play in the Melbourne team. Daniel Howe ended up as the medical sub for Hawthorn as did Kade Chandler at Melbourne but I assume that both might still play today as they only came on in the last quarter. I’m not sure of the rules but believe this has been allowed in the past. The Demons have the advantage in AFL listed numbers but the Hawks are in form and always hard to beat at home. Expect a cracker of a game at Box Hill City Oval.

Very sad to hear this news. Ray was a hard working administrator in a time when staff numbers and resources at VFL clubs were limited and you really needed to be hands on in running the organization. Condolences to Ray’s family.

Matt Buntine from GWS Giants will make his debut on Sunday.
