Hawthorn has made one change to its lineup in preparation for its all-important clash with Fremantle on Monday. 

Shaun Burgoyne has not been able to prove his fitness in time to take on the Dockers, with Conor Nash set to take his place in the side.

Scans earlier in the week did not detect a tear in Burgoyne's hamstring, but rather general overload in the area. 

The game will mark Nash's first senior appearance of the season and the 20th of his career.

GM - Football Graham Wright said Nash had earned his spot on the back of some strong form in the club's recent scrimmage matches.

"Nashy has been in really strong form for our reserves of late so we're pleased to be able to reward him with senior selection," Wright said.

"He brings some great aggression into the side and he also has the ability to play in multiple positions across the ground.

"We feel we've had a really good week on the track and have made the most of the bye, so the group is really looking forward to it."
