THE Hawks have made two changes ahead of tomorrow night's semi final clash against Western Bulldogs.
James Sicily, who was a late withdrawal from last week's qualifying final with illness, will make his return to the side.
Billy Hartung will also re-join the senior team while Ryan Burton (calf) and Daniel Howe (omitted) both come out of the side.
Burton sustained a corky to his calf last week against Geelong and was sidelined for the majority of the match.
"Ryan Burton was close to being available for selection but just not close enough," GM - Football Operation Chris Fagan said.
“You can’t afford to take a risk with players in finals so unfortunately for Ryan he misses this week.
"James has recovered well and will bring us some added fire power up forward.
“Billy will add some good outside run and speed to the team which will be important against the Bulldogs.”
The Hawks and Dogs will do battle at 7:50pm on Friday night at the MCG.
