Hawthorn has added three names to its extended squad ahead of Sunday’s clash with North Melbourne.
The Hawks will be buoyed by the return of Luke Hodge who, having served his one week suspension, will return for his final game in Launceston before hanging up the boots at season’s end.
Youngsters Kurt Heatherley and Kade Stewart have also been included in the squad after strong performances at VFL Level.
Playing predominately in defence, Heatherley managed one goal and 17 touches in Box Hill’s Round 16 win, while Stewart was among the best on ground, booting four goals and collecting 27 disposals.
The Hawks will travel to Launceston on Saturday, ahead of Sunday’s clash at UTAS Stadium.
The squad will be trimmed to the final 22-man team on Friday at 5pm.
