In The Mix: Swans v Hawks
See who afl.com.au reporters believe could be in line for selection for the Sydney Swans and Hawthorn
SYDNEY SWANS
Rested and recharged following their week off, the Sydney Swans will try to extend their 12-game winning run when they take on Hawthorn on Saturday night.
There are three big names fighting for a recall so they can take part in a repeat of the 2012 Grand Final.
Kurt Tippett is making good progress in his recovery from a knee problem and is a strong chance of playing his first game since round 15 and just his sixth of the season.
Rhyce Shaw (ankle) is also pushing for a recall along with Dan Hannebery (ankle), although the latter is likely to need at least another week to recover fully.
Dean Towers could be under a little pressure to retain his spot to take on the Hawks after making his senior debut prior to the break, while George Hewett and Shane Biggs are among the players putting pressure on in the seconds.
HAWTHORN
The Hawks should be boosted by the key inclusions of Josh Gibson and Bradley Hill for their blockbuster clash against the Sydney Swans.
Gibson has been out of action since he tore a pectoral muscle against the Swans in round 8, but is likely to return to take on his good mate, Lance Franklin.
Hill has missed the past two games with a knee complaint, but should be fit after the bye week.
Young speedster Billy Hartung (elbow) played in Box Hill’s last VFL game two weeks ago and could be in the mix to add some pace to the line-up.
