Hawthorn has named a squad of 26 players to take on Richmond in Devonport on Saturday in the AAMI Community Series.
The clash, which kicks off at 1.10pm, will see Chad Wingard and Luke Breust make their first appearances for year, having missed last week’s outing against Collingwood.
Meanwhile, Tom Mitchell and Jaeger O'Meara will be managed and will not play tomorrow.
Head of Football Rob McCartney said that O'Meara had minor hamstring tightness out of the match against Collingwood, while Mitchell, who has had an uninterrupted pre-season, is being rested in readiness for Round 1.
"Given this is an AAMI Series match, we have decided to take no risks, with our sights firmly set on facing North Melbourne in Round 1," McCartney said.
