The Hawks will head into their Round 19 clash against Sydney with an unchanged side.

Coming off a strong win over the Dockers, Hawthorn’s match committee has backed the same 22 players to face the surging Swans line up.

“Sydney are the in-form side in the league and present an enormous challenge to any opposition,” said Burt.

“But after last week’s performance against Fremantle, we’re confident that these 22 players can rise to the challenge. 

“They put together a rounded four quarter performance with each player playing his role, and they will need to do exactly that this week in order to challenge the Swans.” 

Irishman Conor Glass will line up for his second AFL match after an impressive debut that saw him collect 15 disposals at 93 per cent efficiency. 

Teia Miles, Kurt Heatherley and Ty Vickery have been listed as emergencies.
