Season summary:
Scrimshaw solidified his status as among Hawthorn’s most consistent and reliable defenders in season 2022, building on his strong ability to read the play and intercept.
In his sixth year at the top level, Scrimshaw celebrated his 50th game in Round 3.
Scrimshaw’s aerial prowess saw him play an integral role in many of the Hawks’ attacking thrusts through his 20 games this year, which saw him match his career-best from a season ago.
Just shy of his 24th birthday, Scrimshaw has shown he has plenty more to give in the brown and gold in the years ahead.
Best AFL game:
Scrimshaw enjoyed a strong showing in the Hawks Round 15 clash with the Western Bulldogs under lights. He amassed 26 possessions, took 12 marks and provided five rebound 50s as the Dogs downed the Hawks by 42 points.
How the coaches saw him:
“Jack again was a solid performer for us, averaging 19 disposals per game with an efficiency of 78.7 per cent across his 20 outings. He was exposed to multiple roles in the back end and has shown the ability to play taller and also provide some strong rebound. His ability to intercept the ball and use it by foot continues to be a great strength. He’ll look to develop his ability to impact and intercept for us in the off-season and pre-season no doubt.” – Chris Newman
