Hawthorn’s list is looking healthy heading into the second half of the season, with only two players unavailable through injury. 

Youngster Dylan Moore is set to return to Box Hill this week after recovering from a shoulder injury, leaving just fellow draftee Changkuoth Jiath and veteran Grant Birchall on the club’s injury list.

“Having only two guys that are unavailable through injury is a good spot to be in,” Director of High Performance Andrew Russell said. 

“We know things can change quickly, but this time last year we had a number of guys that we knew just weren’t going to be available for the second half of the year, so it is good for morale around the place.”

According to Russell, Birchall is progressing steadily in his long recovery from knee surgery and will be moving into ball work in the coming weeks.
