The dual premiership player has kicked 11 goals in his eight matches this season, averaging 13.2 disposals and 5.4 tackles per game.
Angus Litherland, who started the Hawks’ most recent match as the substitute, has been omitted.
Will Langford, who returned from injury through the VFL prior to the bye, has been named as an emergency alongside Litherland and Jonathan O’Rourke.
