Key defender Frost to miss rest of Hawks' finals run

But the 31-year-old hobbled from the field late in the last quarter, with scans revealing bone stress in his foot.

"Unfortunately, the scans have confirmed that Sam has a bone stress injury in his foot, and given his specific injury he will not be able to take any further part in our 2024 finals campaign," Hawks doctor Liam West said."Sam will spend the next period offloading in a moon boot whilst we continue to assess him to determine a more accurate recovery timeline."

As well as missing Frost, Hawthorn are also expected to rule out star midfielder Will Day from returning for Friday night's semi-final against Port Adelaide.

Day has been sidelined since hurting his collarbone in the round-23 smashing of Richmond.

Fellow midfielder Cam Mackenzie was ruled out of taking on the Bulldogs after hurting his hamstring at training and remains in doubt to face the Power.
