AFL Live Scores: Hawthorn v Essendon

Late OUT: Hurley to miss

Essendon defender Michael Hurley is a late out for the big clash Hawthorn. He'll be replaced by Brandon Zerk-Thatcher.

Joe Daniher returns

Few players will attract more eyeballs in a single game than the top Bomber.

Essendon are adamant Daniher "has done the work to be available" ahead of his much-awaited return to the field on Thursday, but a leading sports medico says bringing the spearhead back without match practice is "not ideal".

Today's two matches …

It's Hawthorn v Essendon at Adelaide Oval from 4.40pm AEST

Then Richmond v West Coast at 7.10pm AEST.
