Hawthorn forward Chad Wingard will play his first game of the year in a bumper Easter Monday clash against Geelong after finally overcoming a calf injury.

Wingard passed his final fitness tests at training on Sunday to be picked for the clash, having been sidelined since suffering a calf strain during an intra-club match in February.

The two-time All-Australian is one of two forwards set to bolster the Hawks’ attack, with key forward Mitch Lewis also coming in for his first game of the year.

The pair replace Will Day (ankle), Tim O’Brien and Oliver Hanrahan (both omitted) in the Hawthorn side.

After playing a half in a VFL practice match in his return from back-to-back calf injuries last weekend, midfielder Mitch Duncan has been named for his first game of the year for the Cats.

Geelong has also named midfielder Max Holmes to make his AFL debut, the No. 20 pick in last year’s draft having shone for the club’s VFL side over the past two weeks.

Gary Rohan (suspended), Charlie Constable and Zach Guthrie (both omitted) go out of the Cats’ side.
