Experienced forward Luke Breust will play his first match of the 2025 season as Hawthorn prepares to face GWS at UTAS Stadium on Saturday night.
The 34-year-old is the sole change to Sam Mitchell's side which defeated Carlton by 20 points in Round 2, with young goalkicker Connor Macdonald out injured for this weekend's trip.
Breust needs just one more goal to reach 550 career majors.
"We welcome back Luke Breust this week after a strong performance at VFL level," Hawthorn Executive General Manager of Football Rob McCartney said.
"We think his experience against a strong Giants outfit will be important for our group."
