Hawthorn midfielder Luke Hodge says Stuart Dew could be out for a month after he sustained a hamstring injury in the dying stages of the club's 15-point win over Fremantle at Subiaco Oval on Saturday. "It's just a basic hamstring, so he'll be three or four weeks, I think,” Hodge said.

While Dew's absence is a blow for the undefeated Hawks, there should be plenty of cover for the former Port Adelaide premiership player, with Tim Clarke and Benny McGlynn looking like they'll be available for selection against North Melbourne this weekend. The Hawks will also welcome back midfielder Jordan Lewis , who missed the first two rounds due to suspension.

Mark Williams could also be available, but Hodge admits that with the forward unit performing as well as it is, finding a spot for the 24-year-old could be challenging.
