Hawthorn will welcome back a host of senior players in the club’s second JLT clash against Richmond this Saturday night.
The Hawks will be boosted by an injection of experience with the likes of Jarryd Roughead, Shaun Burgoyne and newly-appointed captain Ben Stratton entering the side.
While James Cousins, Mitch Lewis, Oliver Hanrahan, Jack Scrimshaw and Dylan Moore are among those who have held the spot in the side after impressive outings against the Lions last week.

GM-Football Graham Wright confirmed the Hawks will use the pre-season game as a final dress rehearsal before Round 1 a fortnight later.
“We hope that this strong line up will give us an indication of who’s putting their hand up for Round 1 selection,” Wright said.
“The group has had a really strong pre-season and so we’re hoping that effort over the summer culminates in a strong performance against the Tigers this Saturday night.”
