Hawthorn has included Ainslie Kemp, Bridie Hipwell and Isabelle Porter in its team to face Richmond on Sunday at Swinburne Centre Punt Road.

Hipwell and Porter will make their AFLW debuts while Kemp will make her club debut after making previously playing 10 games for Melbourne.

Louise Stephenson (injured), Tamara Luke (injured) and Bridget Deed (omitted) all come out of the side.

The Hawks played against the Tigers earlier this year in a pre-season match at the MCG and went down by 44 points.

Now with two AFLW games under their belt, they'll be looking to bounce back to mark the beginning of AFLW Indigenous Round.

The Hawks will proudly wear their AFLW Indigenous Guernsey for the first time, designed in collaboration with Aboriginal mother and daughter duo Lauren Jarrett and Melissa Greenwood, otherwise known as Miimi & Jiinda.
