Hawthorn has informed Denver Grainger-Barras, Ethan Phillips and Jack O'Sullivan that they will not be offered contracts for the 2025 AFL season as part of ongoing list changes.
Grainger-Barras departs the Hawks having played 28 games since he was drafted in 2020, while Phillips suited up for one match in 2024 after joining the club as a rookie during the Supplemental Selection Period.
Since being drafted with Pick 46 in 2022, O’Sullivan didn’t break through for an AFL debut but suited up for 13 VFL matches this year.
Hawthorn National Recruiting and List Manager Mark McKenzie thanked Grainger-Barras, Phillips and O’Sullivan for their time in brown and gold.
“While these are always hard decisions to make at the end of the season, we thank Denver, Ethan and Jack for their contributions to the club,” McKenzie said.
“All three have showed a high level of professionalism during their time in the brown and gold.
“We wish all three of them well for the future.”
