Hawthorn has made one change for its Week 8 clash with the GWS Giants on Saturday afternoon at Kinetic Stadium.

The change sees Charlotte Baskaran return to the side for her first game since Week 3 against the Adelaide Crows.

The 19-year-old replaces Greta Bodey who will miss the clash due to a toe-joint injury.

Hawthorn General Manager of Football Operations Max Bailey spoke on Baskaran’s return to the side for the Hawks' last Melbourne-based home game this weekend.  

“We're excited to see Charlotte get another opportunity this week, having worked hard on the track and in scrimmages in recent weeks,” Bailey said.

“We're looking forward to continuing the work we've done this season with an important game against GWS."
