Hawthorn has added six names to its extended squad ahead of Sunday's Blue Ribbon Cup clash against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.
Lloyd Meek has been recalled into the starting 22, while Lachlan Bramble, Fergus Greene, Cam Mackenzie, James Blanck and Brandon Ryan have been named on the extended bench.
Meek's return is timely for Hawthorn, with fellow ruckman Ned Reeves ruled out due to a one-game suspension.
Mid-season recruit Ryan would become the club's sixth AFL debutant this season if he is called upon in the final team.
Reeves, Karl Amon (injured) and Denver Grainger-Barras (omitted) are the confirmed outs.
Hawthorn will reveal its Round 20 team on Friday at 5pm on www.hawthornfc.com.au and across its Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
