Hawthorn are set to be boosted by the returns of Ben Stratton and Ben McEvoy for Friday night’s AFL qualifying final against Geelong.

Stratton has been missing since he injured a pectoral muscle in round 20 and McEvoy missed the Hawks’ dramatic round-23 win over Collingwood with back soreness.

The pair took part in a light 30-minute training session at the club’s Waverley headquarters on Thursday morning and appear certain to return for the MCG clash.
