Hawthorn has made a late change ahead of its Round 19 clash against the Lions, with Jonathon Ceglar replacing the injured Tim O’Brien.

“Tim has had a sore calf this week and unfortunately he didn’t recover in time,” GM-Football Graham Wright said.

“With a six day break next week, we’ve decided not to take the risk.

“Cegs has played two of the last three VFL games and performed well.

“He thoroughly deserves his call up, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do against a quality opponent today.”

The Hawks will face the Lions at 1.45pm at UTAS Stadium as they look to keep their finals hopes alive.
