Four Hawks Earn Coveted Spots in VFL State Team Squad – Who Made the Cut?
Box Hill will have a strong presence in the 2025 AAMI State Game, with Callum Porter, Ethan Stanley, Kye Declase, and Sam Durdin earning spots in the Smithy’s VFL State Team squad. The highly anticipated clash against the SANFL will take place on April 12 during the AFL’s Gather Round. Porter and Declase bring prior State Team experience, while Stanley has impressed since returning from Fremantle’s AFL list. Meanwhile, Durdin, a key defensive recruit, is yet to debut for Box Hill but is expected to make a significant impact. With head coach Zane Littlejohn leading the charge, the VFL squad will look to avenge last year’s defeat.
