Ty Vickery is a late withdrawal from Hawthorn’s selected side to take on unbeaten AFL rivals Geelong at the MCG on Easter Monday.

Emerging forward James Sicily has been called up in Vickery’s place for the crunch clash.

Vickery has been sidelined by a sore back, and joins Jaeger O’Meara (knee), Grant Birchall (jaw) and Jonathan O’Rourke (hamstring) on the Hawks’ injury list.

Hawthorn enters the marquee occasion in foreign territory – without a win and on the bottom of the ladder.
