RD 17 TEAM: Experienced duo returns

Find out who's in to take on St Kilda.

Hawthorn has made two changes for this Saturday night's clash with St Kilda, bringing in experienced duo James Sicily and James Worpel.

The Hawks skipper returns to the team for the first time since Round 12, after recovering from a hip/ abdominal injury, while Worpel has overcome a complicated quad cork that he suffered against the Western Bulldogs in Round 13.

The pair replaces Josh Weddle (back) and Sam Butler (soreness) in Sam Mitchell's team.

"Sicily and Worpel add both leadership and experience to our group," Executive General Manager of Football Rob McCartney said.

"Both players have worked diligently through their rehab period and they are ready to return to perform in a big game against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night."

Up forward, Mabior Chol has been selected to play his 100th AFL game in what will be an exciting occasion, with the 28-year-old coming off a career-best five goals against North Melbourne.

Saturday's match will also see the Hawks and Saints play off for the coveted Silk-Miller Blue Ribbon Cup, which honours the courage and sacrifice of Victorian police officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
