Jack Dalton (born 5 April 2007) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
On the eve of his top-age season as an 18-year-old he broke both wrists in a freak gym accident. While initially told he would miss twelve months of football, Dalton's rehab shattered expectations. He had worked his way back from a point where both arms were in casts to best on ground performances within three months. He collected 35 disposals in wet and windy conditions for the Dragons.[1]
Dalton was selected with pick 34 in the 2025 AFL draft by the Hawthorn Football Club. He made his debut in the round four clash against Geelong on Easter Monday, in front of a crowd of almost 85,000 spectators. Dalton had 10 disposals and kicked a behind.[2][3]
