Hawthorn has made a late change ahead of its clash with Colingwood at the MCG this afternoon.

Ben Stratton has been withdrawn from the side due to a knee injury.

Kurt Keatherley has come in as the replacement.

“Ben just pulled up a little bit sore after training yesterday and had some swelling in his knee, so we’ve decided to take a conservative approach,” Hawks footy boss Jason Burt said.

“It is unfortunate as Ben was really excited to return today, but it does give a great opportunity for young Kurt who takes his place in the side.”

It will be Heatherley's third career game and his third as a late inclusion.

Collingwood will go into the match as selection.
