Cyril Rioli is expected to play in Hawthorn's Round 2 clash after recovering well from a 'corky' sustained against Essendon.

He received the cork early in the first quarter, and was relatively quiet by his standards for the remainder of the match.

Kieran Lovell is in doubt for either a VFL or AFL appearance after injurying his shoulder in Box Hill's practise match on Saturday.

Kaiden Brand has recovered well from a broken thumb, while Jonathan O'Rourke will have another couple of weeks on the sidelines while he recovers from a hamstring injury.
