Hawthorn has named an unchanged line-up for its first home game of the year, following the side's 62-point win over Essendon in Round 1.

As Sam Mitchell said in his weekly press conference, Hawks members and fans are encouraged to get to the MCG on Thursday night and get behind the brown and gold.
