Lachlan Hansen will play just his second game of the year after being selected to take on Hawthorn at the MCG on Saturday.
As for which end of the ground he’s set to play at, well that’s still to be determined given Ben Brown (knee) and Scott Thompson (groin) have both been declared fit despite respective injury concerns following the loss to the Bulldogs last week.
Hansen played as a defender and forward in Werribee’s last game, and will provide plenty of versatility.
Hansen is joined by Robbie Nahas with the pair replacing Brad McKenzie (omitted) and Ryan Clark (rested) in the side.
Corey Wagner, McKenzie and Clarke make up the emergency list.
