Hawthorn are sweating on the fitness of star midfielder Jaeger O’Meara ahead of Sunday’s AFL clash with St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.
O’Meara is nursing a sore hip after suffering a knock during the round-three win over North Melbourne at the MCG.
Coach Alastair Clarkson told reporters O’Meara would need to prove his fitness at training on Saturday, but confirmed former skipper Jarryd Roughead will return after he was a late withdrawal with a corked thigh against the Kangaroos.
