The Hawthorn Football Club has made six changes to its playing list in preparation for the AFL draft period.
The Club would like to acknowledge that this is a difficult period for all AFL clubs with important decisions having to be made around player retirements and delistings. Throughout this period it is essential that the Hawthorn Football Club continues to look toward the future in its pursuit of sustained success.
Retired
Danny Jacobs (Hawthorn games 45 (total AFL games 126))
Delisted
Luke McEntee
Garry Moss (1 game)
Zac Dawson (14 games)
Tim Clarke (96 games)
Elevated
Cameron Stokes – nominated rookie to full list (9 games)
The retirement of Danny Jacobs was confirmed earlier in the season following a battle with injury. Jacobs, who played 126 games in his time with Essendon and Hawthorn was an AFL Rising Star nominee in 2001 and a versatile defender at his time with the Hawks.
Tim Clarke has been a long-time servant of the Hawthorn Football Club, playing 96 games in his eight seasons at the Hawks. Clarke was a member of the Club’s leadership group as elected by his peers and is well respected by both the playing group and coaching staff.
Hawthorn’s General Manager Player Personnel and Strategy Chris Pelchen, reflected on Clarke’s career at the Hawks, where he had forged a reputation as one of best trainers and a strong role model to the younger players.
"Tim has been an outstanding servant for the Hawthorn football Club," said Pelchen.
"Apart from being one of the most popular and committed players for our Club in recent years the leadership and values that Tim has brought to the football club were of the highest standard and have provided a firm foundation on which to develop our young list," continued Pelchen.
The Hawthorn football Club thanks all five retired or delisted players for their commitment to the Hawks during their careers and wishes them every success for the future.
Cameron Stokes, who was selected as the Hawks fourth round selection in the 2008 rookie draft has been elevated to the Club’s full playing list. Stokes, who, following a solid NAB Cup run, debuted for the Hawks Round 1 against Melbourne in 2008, went on to play nine games, including the qualifying final win over the Bulldogs. Stokes missed the rest of the finals through injury but made a significant contribution throughout the year.
The list that will be submitted by the Hawthorn Football Club on October 31 will include Shane Crawford, who will be playing into his 18th season. Crawford will remain as a veteran listed player and has been offered a one-year extension to his playing contract.
