HAWTHORN has delisted key defender Sam Frost and untried forward Jasper Scaife.<\/p>\n

Frost, 32, played 94 games for the Hawks, who were his third club, after arriving at the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

WHO’S CALLED IT QUITS 2025’s retirements and\u00a0delistings<\/a><\/p>\n

But after featuring 24 times last year, he was limited to just two games in 2025.<\/p>\n

Selected in the 2024 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, Scaife didn’t play an AFL game for the Hawks.<\/p>\n

“While these sorts of changes happen every year, we’d like to acknowledge Sam and Jasper’s maturity throughout the process,” Hawthorn national recruiting and list manager Mark McKenzie said.<\/p>\n

“With 94 games across six seasons, Sam has been a terrific servant of our footy club, and we\u2019d like to wish him, his fianc\u00e9e Laura, and their daughter Charlotte all the best in their next chapter.<\/p>\n

“We’d also like to thank Jasper for his contribution to Hawthorn, he showed great dedication and commitment during his time at the club.”<\/p>\n

The only other list change for the Hawks so far is the retirement of three-time premiership forward Luke Breust.<\/p>\n

Hawthorn’s season came to an end with a preliminary final loss to Geelong last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hawthorn has farewelled Sam Frost and Jasper Scaife after they were informed that they will not be offered…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,83,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-165571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-text","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
