HAWTHORN has named 19 of its premiership 22 from last year to take on St Kilda in its final NAB Challenge game on Thursday night at Etihad Stadium.
Grant Birchall (knee), Matt Spangher (calf) and David Hale are the only players from the 2014 Grand Final win over the Swans who won't take the field against the Saints.
As the Hawks ramp up preparations for a round one clash against Geelong on Easter Monday they named a 27-man squad brimming with stars.
Hawthorn will trim that squad to 24 players before Thursday night's game, when former Demon James Frawley, ex-Giant Jono O'Rourke, ruckman Jonathon Ceglar, Jed Anderson and Billy Hartung could be among those hoping to press claims for a round-one spot.
