Hawthorn has named its 26-man team set to take on the Western Bulldogs at UTAS Stadium this Thursday night as part of the AFL's pre-season AAMI Community Series.
Notable inclusions from the side that took on Geelong in last Monday's match simulation include experienced recruit Tom Barrass and young-guns Nick Watson and Massimo D'Ambrosio.
Meanwhile, Karl Amon has been added to the brown and gold line-up after representing the Indigenous All Stars in Perth almost two weeks ago.
Jarman Impey and Blake Hardwick will be rested for the Tasmanian pre-season trip, with Executive General Manager of Football Rob McCartney explaining the decision.
"Both Jarman and Blake have put together wonderful pre-seasons, playing uninterrupted across all practice matches and match simulation to this point. Given their experience, we felt it best to manage their loads ahead of next Friday's Opening Round game in Sydney," McCartney said.
Meanwhile, Changkuoth Jiath will miss with a minor hip injury.
"After sitting out last Monday's match simulation in Geelong, Changkuoth trained fully across the week, including yesterday's main session. Unfortunately, following that session Changkuoth has pulled up with a sore hip and won't be risked in tomorrow's practice match," McCartney said.
Juniors and club members will have free general admission access to the 2025 AAMI Community Series, with AFL and club members able to scan their membership on match day at the venue for free entry, subject to capacity.
