Hawthorn has made a late change ahead of its clash with Richmond on Sunday.

James Frawley has been withdrawn from the selected side due to hamstring tightness, with Conor Glass set to replace the key defender.

GM – Football Graham Wright said Frawley was given until the last minute to prove his fitness.

“James reported some tightness in his hamstring during the week,” Wright said.

“We have decided to leave him out of today’s side as he wasn’t quite 100 per cent.”

The Round 9 match will be Glass’ first senior appearance of 2019, adding to his career tally of 10.

He has averaged 22 disposals, five tackles and five inside 50s across his four VFL outings for the season.
