DEFENDER Stephen Gilham has been named for his first match since Round 8 last season where he suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Gilham has enjoyed a number of matches at the Hawks' VFL affiliate, Box Hill where he has gained match fitness ahead of his return.
Skipper Luke Hodge will miss the match after pulling up sore from the 35-point win over St Kilda last Saturday night.
Clinton Young joins Gilham as the other inclusion, while Jarrd Boumann misses after having his appendix out earlier this week.
