It comes after they were dealt two massive blows, with Gulden undergoing surgery on his shoulder and Heeney sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Hawthorn is unchanged from the team that thrashed Essendon in round one.

The Hawks have opted to retain their two-ruck set-up after Ned Reeves provided Lloyd Meek with strong support in the win over the Bombers.

Calsher Dear has missed the 23-man squad again, but will continue to put pressure on Mitch Lewis, who has kicked just one goal in the opening two games.
