Hawthorn has made three changes ahead of its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night.
Ruckman Lloyd Meek will make his return to play against his old side after dominating in the VFL on the weekend with Box Hill where he amassed 46 hit-outs, 22 disposals and six clearances against Casey.
Connor Macdonald also re-joins the senior side following his impressive performance in the VFL which saw him finish with 37 touches and eight clearances.
Jack Scimshaw (last week's medical substitute) rounds out the ins for Saturday's game.
The confirmed outs include Changkuoth Jiath (managed), Luke Breust (managed) and last week's debutant Max Ramsden who has been omitted.
Hawthorn's Head of Football Rob McCartney said it was pleasing to welcome the three additions to the starting line up.
"Lloyd returns after having spent a week in the VFL, dominating ruck contests and winning plenty of the ball around the ground," McCartney said.
"Similar to Lloyd, Connor was omitted last week but then went back to VFL-level and also performed strongly against Casey.
"Connor is a key part of our young group, and we're looking forward to seeing how he can keep on developing further in his second year.
"After spending the last two weeks as our medical substitute, it's great to have Jack returning to the starting 22.
“Jack has had an interrupted season, most recently managing a turf toe injury, but he's a talented player and we're thrilled to have him back in our starting line-up."
Finn Maginness, Lachlan Bramble, Cam Mackenzie and Sam Butler have been named as the emergencies, with the medical substitute to be confirmed one hour prior to the first bounce.
The match will be live Fox Footy and Kayo Sports from 5.30pm (AWST)/7.30pm (AEST).
Hawthorn will also be hosting an open training session on Friday from 3.30pm to 4.30pm (AWST), with fans in the state encouraged to attend, for more information visit HERE.
