Cyril Rioli won’t play for Hawthorn this week.

But it’s not all bad news for the Hawks.

They’ve regained prized recruit Jaeger O’Meara for their clash in Tasmania with St Kilda.

Rioli has a hip issue.

Meanwhile, in somewhat of a shock, North Melbourne has axed former captain Andrew Swallow and forward Lindsay Thomas.
