HAWTHORN will be without Nick Watson and Tom Barrass for its warm-up game against Geelong on Monday, while West Coast and Richmond have both left out a host of senior players for their hit-out in Perth.
Watson missed training during the week due to illness and will sit out the match simulation against the Cats at GMHBA Stadium along with recruit Barrass, who got married in Perth on Friday, and winger Massimo D'Ambrosio (concussion).

Veteran Luke Breust and injury-ravaged defender Changkuoth Jiath will also miss out, as will Karl Amon and Jarman Impey due to their participation in the Indigenous All Stars game on Saturday, while Josh Battle will play his first game for the Hawks since moving from St Kilda.
There are no major selection surprises for Geelong, with Bailey Smith to play his first game for his new club, while injury-prone recruit Jack Martin will miss out as he aims to be fit for Opening Round.
Toby Conway, Shaun Mannagh and Cam Guthrie are all injured, while Lawson Humphries and Tyson Stengle are unavailable due to the Indigenous All Stars game.
The Tigers have chosen not to take Nick Vlastuin, Jacob Hopper, Tim Taranto, Jayden Short, Toby Nankervis and Nathan Broad to Perth to face the Eagles, while Tom Lynch will also stay in Melbourne after suffering a concussion late last month.
For a side that lost four senior players to other clubs in the off-season and three due to retirement, it means Kamdyn McIntosh will be the only Tiger on the park with more than 70 games of AFL experience.
No.1 pick Sam Lalor will play, but fellow top draftees Josh Smillie (hamstring) and Jonty Faull (back) have not been named.
The Eagles have also left out several big-name players, including Harley Reid, who has been managing ankle soreness, as well as Jake Waterman, Jamie Cripps and Jeremy McGovern.
Eagles recruits Liam Baker and Jack Graham will take on their former club, while Matt Owies has also been named, although Liam Ryan and Tim Kelly are out after they played for the Indigenous All Stars.
Key defenders Sandy Brock and James Van Es plus midfielder Jack Henderson will all play as they look to secure a spot on the rookie list before the start of the season.
Both unofficial match simulations are free to attend and will be broadcast on Fox Footy, available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
The remaining club-arranged match simulations will be played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week before the AAMI Community Series of official practice matches are played next week.
