Hawthorn has added six names to its Round 10 squad, confirming at least two changes ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Eagles.
Jaeger O’Meara and James Frawley both return from a brief stint on the sidelines, having been named in the forward pocket and back pocket respectively.
GM-Football Graham Wright says the playing group, off the back of a tough loss to Brisbane, will be buoyed by the return of two experienced heads.
“We obviously missed both these guys last week,” Wright said.
“They were both touch and go with minor injury issues, but we decided not to take the risk.
“They’re both now 100 percent fit, and we’re hopeful they’ll help us regain some stability this weekend.”
Jonathon Ceglar is a chance to play his first game in almost two years, having been included on Hawthorn’s extended bench.
The ruckman’s last AFL hit out was against West Coast in Round 22, 2016.

Conor Glass, Will Langford and Ryan Schoenmakers have also been named in the 26-man squad, while James Worpel and Kaiden Brand have been omitted.
The final team of 22 will be confirmed at 5pm on Friday, ahead of Sunday’s clash at Etihad Stadium.
Hawthorn members are encouraged to be in their seats early, with the club set to hand out a number of gifts in celebration of the recent membership record and ascent towards 80,000 members.
