Hawthorn has made one late change ahead of today's clash with the Bombers. 

Ricky Henderson (illness) comes out of the side, replaced by James Cousins. 

"Ricky presented with gastro early this morning so we have made the decision to withdraw him from today's game," said GM-Football Graham Wright.

"James has acquitted himself well in the past few weeks so we are confident he can come in play his role today."

The Hawks will face Essendon at 2.10pm today.
