Hawthorn will be looking secure another victory against North Melbourne when the two sides face off for the second time this season on Sunday.
It comes after the Hawks won their first game of the year against the Kangaroos in Round 3 with a blistering 19-point victory at UTAS Stadium.
Hawthorn enters Sunday's match-up off a hard-fought defeat to the Giants and will be looking for a fifth win for 2023 after suffering three-straight losses.
The Hawks will welcome the return of captain James Sicily following a three-week suspension and veteran Luke Breust who was sidelined for last week's clash due to injury.
Emerging ruckman Max Ramsden will also make his return to the seniors after making his AFL debut earlier this year.

Last time we met
Hawthorn (80) defeated North Melbourne (61) - Round 3, UTAS Stadium
Hawthorn took home its first win for the year when it faced the Roos in Round 3, deploying an uncontested game style that the visitors struggled to overcome.
Five unanswered goals saw North Melbourne rally late, but a Tyler Brockman goal midway through the final term allowed the Hawks to steady and finish 19-point winners in Launceston.
In his first game since Round 23 of 2021, Brockman booted three goals while Will Day was cool under pressure with 28 disposals and four tackles, as was James Sicily who finished as Hawthorn's general in defence with 28 touches and a game-high 18 marks.
Dylan Moore, who kicked the sealer, had 25 touches, seven inside 50s, two goals and two goal assists.
Our last game
GWS (85) defeated Hawthorn (72) - Round 17, GIANTS Stadium
GWS survived a scare against Hawthorn to take home a 13-point victory last Saturday in Sydney.
The Giants were unable to shake off a dogged Hawks outfit until Jesse Hogan earned a free kick and goaled with less than two minutes remaining to seal the win at Giants Stadium.
A brave Hawks outfit threatened deep into the final term as they regularly found a way to burst away from the centre bounces and dominated those stoppages 17-6 throughout the contest.
Chad Wingard, Fergus Greene and Josh Ward each booted two goals for the Hawks, meanwhile midfielder Jai Newcombe collected 28 disposals, nine clearances and eight score involvements.
Finn Maginness and Blake Hardwick clamped down on the Giants' major weapons, with Maginness keeping Josh Kelly to six touches - his lowest tally since 2015 - while Hardwick kept Toby Greene goalless.
Conor Nash (27 touches) and Will Day (26 touches) also made their mark in the midfield.
