Hampton has undergone surgery this afternoon after injuring his AC joint in the third term against Essendon. The 21 year-old has played 10 games this season for a career total of 45.

Experienced defender Stephen Gilham will also be sidelined for the next six weeks after breaking his hand in the UWS GIANTS 104-point victory over the NT Thunder in Saturday’s NEAFL match.

Nick Haynes remains as the GIANTS' only long-term injury following ankle surgery.
