I noticed Wikipedia has both Rod Horrocks and John McCashney with a DOD of July 8 2023, but AustralianFootball.com and the Season Guide obituaries page have 8/8/2023 for Horrocks.

Looking at this on a spreadsheet I use, AF.com have a DOD for 496 Hawthorn players. The recently-departed John Elward hasn't been added.

This chap is on that Wiki list, but didn't play VFL/AFL football for Hawthorn (so I'm guessing he's not included in stemline 's tally):

There must be quite a few on the list you've produced who only played for Hawthorn (VFA), but presumably did play VFL football for another club. Gordon Munro (St Kilda) did that, as did Bill Walton (Collingwood).
