Hawthorn have emerged as a potential suitor for out-of-contract Melbourne defender Sam Frost.

While the Hawks told The Age they are yet to meet with Frost, they confirmed their interest in the 26-year-old, who has played 91 games with the Demons and GWS.

Hawthorn have re-signed key defender James Frawley on a one-year contract but are yet to make calls on trio Ryan Schoenmakers, David Mirra and Kaiden Brand, and Frost is seen as a potential candidate to bolster their defensive stocks.

Frost played all 22 games during a tough season for the Demons, averaging 14 disposals and five marks.
