Overview

• Official team sheets confirm Josh Weddle in Hawthorn’s 22 to face GWS at ENGIE Stadium after managed minutes for Box Hill.
• Sam Butler is recalled as the Hawks move away from a four-tall forward structure, with Luke Breust and Mitch Lewis left out.
• Coach Sam Mitchell had linked Weddle’s selection to a clean training session, while Harry Morrison remains unlikely with a quad issue.
• GWS regains Jake Stringer, Jesse Hogan and Josh Kelly for the contest, strengthening both forward and midfield rotations.
• Across other finals teams, Geelong loses ruck Rhys Stanley to a hamstring, Fremantle rules out Sam Switkowski and Corey Wagner, and Gold Coast recalls David Swallow.
