Tenacious small Ben McGlynn has entered the side from an extended Hawthorn interchange ahead of Jarryd Morton and Cameron Stokes.
McGlynn is yet to play a senior game in 2008 after a solid 2007 that saw him feature - prominently at stages - in 21 games and kick 15 goals for the Hawks.A groin injury forced the 22-year-old from Hawthorn's round 22 match and the memorable elimination final against Adelaide, but he recovered to be named as an emergency for the semi-final against the Kangaroos.
