There are no late changes for either side, and you take a look at both line-ups above.

That said, there is no need for late changes, the Hawks and Demons have already made all their changes at the selection table.

There are some important names missing for Hawthorn, beginning with Nick Watson (out with a hamstring issue). Josh Battle is out of the back line with illness, while Ned Reeves and Karl Amon are also injured and Calsher Dear has been omitted.

The important in is forward Jack Gunston, who is back after missing three games with a foot injury.
