The Cats have welcomed back superstars Tom Hawkins and Paul Chapman to the side to take on Richmond on Saturday night.

The game will take on special meaning for the Cats with Corey Enright and Steve Johnson to play their 250th and 200th games respectively.

Making way for Hawkins and Chapman are Jared Rivers who injured his knee against the Western Bulldogs and Josh Caddy who has been omitted.

The undefeated Cats face a Richmond side who, despite winning their first three games, have dropped the last two including a thriller against Fremantle last Friday night.
