When Hawthorn plays the Western Bulldogs in Friday’s match simulation, it will be trying to get its 2024 preparations back on track after a disastrous preseason injury list.
The first of three tune-ups between the Dogs and Hawks will commence at 11 a.m. AEDT on Friday.
Essendon visits St Kilda at 2:00 PM AEDT, and Adelaide and Port Adelaide play at 5:00 PM ACDT.
Foxtel and Kayo will broadcast the matches live, and our live blog will allow you to follow the first two games.
