The Hawks finished in fifth position, meaning if they do not beat the Bombers in the first week of finals, their premiership defence will be over.
The reigning premiers rested some key players for the round 17 match against Moyston-Willaura and will be a lot stronger on paper when they return for the sudden death final.
The Hawks’ 2016 grand final opponent Wickliffe-Lake Bolac will be in action on Saturday when it faces Lismore-Derrinallum in the qualifying final at Caramut.
The Magpies have built themselves into some strong form in the second half of the season but the Demons will not be an easy task, having lost just two games for the year.
The winner of the match will get next week off and move to within one game of a grand final berth.
Moyston-Willaura has the weekend off after finishing in top spot.
