Hawthorn has finalised its Round 21 team, making just one change from the side that went down to Richmond last weekend.
Luke Hodge returns to the line-up after serving his one-match suspension, while Brendan Whitecross has been omitted.
With just three weeks left in the season, GM-Football Operations Jason Burt says the playing group will be savouring each opportunity they get to run out with their former captain.
“Hodgey’s leadership, particularly in our back half, is invaluable,” said Burt.
“With a limited number of games left, I know the young guys especially will be trying to learn as much as they can from him.”
Kurt Heatherley, Kade Stewart and Whitecross are listed as emergencies for Sunday’s match.
