Hawthorn has made two changes for its Round 2 battle with Carlton on Thursday night at the MCG.
Both Jack Gunston and Chankguoth Jiath will play their first game of the year, with Jack Scrimshaw (suspended) and Sam Frost (omitted) making way for their inclusions.
"Both Changkuoth and Jack have had strong pre-seasons and have performed well in our VFL practice matches," Hawthorn Executive General Manager of Football Rob McCartney said.
"The MCG arena is an environment that both players enjoy performing on and I'm sure our brown and gold fans will be there to cheer on them and the team on Thursday night."
