Done for season
Day (ankle) will miss the remainder of the 2021 season.
ANALYSIS
Day was believed to be nearing a return to action in June but never ended up retaking the field and will ultimately skip the rest of the season following an ankle fracture in late March. He will now turn his sights toward retaking the field in 2022.

Nearing return
Day (broken ankle) is expected to return in Round 13 or 14, according to Physical Performance Manager Luke Boyd. "He got through this morning's session quite well and we expect Will to be available to play this week (against Sydney)."
ANALYSIS
Day has been out since Round 2 and his return is reportedly imminent. A strong performance with 28 disposals and 11 marks in Round 1 means that Day could easily give the Hawks another quality fantasy option when they tend not to put up big numbers.

28 Disposals, Eight Marks in Win
Day produced 28 disposals, eight marks and three tackles and clearances each Saturday as Hawthorn narrowly defeated Essendon 92-91 at Marvel Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Day tied Essendon's Andrew McGrath for second-most kicks (18) and paced all players in marks in Saturday night's contest, leaving him one of only two Hawks to top 100 fantasy points in the Round One victory. An exceptional find at defender, fantasy owners would be wise to invest in the 19-year-old early on in 2021, as Day appears on track to only improve upon a rookie campaign that saw him second among rising stars in effective disposals and kicks per game and third overall in fantasy points scored.
