Hawthorn have made a late change ahead of their blockbuster clash with the Cats today at the MCG.

Skipper Jarryd Roughead has pulled out with an ankle injury and has been replaced by big man Marc Pittonet.

Roughead will miss his first game in nearly two seasons, while Pittonet is set to play his first game for season 2018 and the fourth of his career.

The Cats will go in as named.
