Jack Scrimshaw (born 4 September 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early career

[edit]

Jack Scrimshaw as a junior played football with the Beaumaris Football Club in the South Metro Junior Football League. He later played for Sandringham Dragons in the elite TAC Cup. He also played for his school Haileybury, under the guidance of AFL Hall of Famer Matthew Lloyd.[1] Talent scouts liked the dash and the plenty of X-Factor he displayed as a versatile and accurate left-footer. At 193 centimetres he had the height to demand attention. Scrimshaw played on the wing during the TAC championships and while he can move forward he looked most at home in defence.[2]

AFL career

[edit]

He was drafted by Gold Coast with their second selection and seventh overall in the 2016 national draft.[3] He made his debut in the fifty-four point loss to the Western Bulldogs at Cazaly's Stadium in round eighteen of the 2017 season.[4]

Scrimshaw was unable to break into the Gold Coast senior side after the departure of coach, Rodney Eade and list manager Scott Clayton and several other coaches and support staff. Scrimshaw averaged 23 disposals in the NEAFL 2018 season. During that time he suffered a broken cheekbone and later had concussion. At the end of the 2018 season Scrimshaw requested a trade to a Victorian-based club. On 16 October, he was officially traded to Hawthorn.[5]

Scrimshaw changed his guernsey number from 35 to 14 before the 2020 season.[6]

Family

[edit]

Jack's uncle Ian Scrimshaw played with Hawthorn and Richmond in the 1970s and 80s. His father David Scrimshaw was also on Hawthorn's playing list during the late 1970s, but didn't play any senior VFL matches.
