FORGOTTEN Hawthorn midfielder Jonathan O'Rourke is a late inclusion for Saturday night's clash with the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium, replacing an ill Conor Glass.
The 24-year-old hasn't played at AFL level since round 20, 2016, having endured a shocking run of hamstring injuries since then.

The No.2 selection at the 2012 NAB AFL National Draft, he played nine games in two seasons at Greater Western Sydney and just nine for the Hawks since moving to Waverley at the end of 2014.
He has been solid, if not spectacular at VFL level this year, but given he only played four VFL games in 2017 after repeated hamstring breakdowns, just getting him back playing regular footy has been a positive for the Hawks.
Out of contract at the end of the season, he will be desperate to impress, having waited so long for his next opportunity.
The Bulldogs are unchanged.
A win to the Hawks (8-6) keeps them right in the hunt for the finals, while the Dogs (5-9), coming off an impressive win over Geelong, pretty much need to win every game from here if they want to figure in the finals.
