With Hawthorn's new jumper numbers set to be revealed in the coming days, we thought it would be fitting to take a look at which digits are up for grabs heading into the 2024 season.
From Lance Franklin to Jason Dunstall, several club legends once donned the digits now made available ahead of next season.
We've taken a look at our 100-plus game players who have previously worn some of the vacant numbers.
All vacant numbers: 16, 18, 19, 23, 26, 27, 33, 34, 35, 39, 46
