Premiers Hawthorn will welcome the return of superstar small forward Cyril Rioli (pictured) for Saturday afternoons clash with the Demons at the MCG.

Rioli’s absence from the Hawks side that beat Carlton on the weekend sent heart palpitations through the Hawks faithful but the Torres strait islander says it was nothing more than a precaution.

Melbourne gave the premiers a real run for their money the last time the two clubs met and Rioli says the club won’t be making the mistake of taking the Demons lightly this time around.
