    Knee injury around the Round 10 Melbourne clash (HAW v MEL, 2026-05-16). Sidelined ~a fortnight per the early-June AFL injury list; 4-6 week timeline. On the AFL official R13 injury list (Hawthorn) โ€” not selectable at any level with ongoing knee soreness. Missed R11-R13.

    Reassessment

    Auto-promoted to POSSIBLE for Round 14 (expected return 2026-06-13)

  3. R1411 June

    Reassessment

    Corrected โ€” Hawthorn has the Round 14 bye so the 06-13 return date was invalid; earliest possible return is Round 15. Also removed a fitness-test entry mistakenly applied here (it belonged to James Blanck). Jack Scrimshaw (knee) will need further assessment upon return from the mid-season bye.
