HAWTHORN will be without Mitch Lewis for its game against Sydney at the MCG, with the key forward a late out for the Hawks at the MCG.

Lewis was named in the Hawks' side on Friday after seemingly overcoming a knee problem, but he has been replaced in the selected side by Max Ramsden, who is Hawthorn's sub.

The Swans are unchanged, with Braeden Campbell the sub for the second week in a row.

The Swans will be favourites to claim another win, with the Hawks (1-5) avoiding disaster last week with a comprehensive victory over North Melbourne as its midfield fired against their younger opponents.

The Hawks piled on eight goals in a blistering second term but impressed just as much with their pressure that will be crucial to trying to slow down a Sydney outfit that looks to move the ball with speed.

Sydney (5-1) had shown signs of fatigue as it limped to the bye but quickly burst back into form when putting Gold Coast to the sword. 

The Swans have depth in all areas as the addition of Brodie Grundy and Taylor Adams adds to their assets at the contest, but there will be no room for complacency against the Hawks especially with a Sydney Derby to follow.

While Sydney is unchanged, Hawthorn has a big inclusion in Will Day, while Massimo D'Ambrosio (managed) and Henry Hustwaite (omitted) are both out.
