In characteristic 2, a Sylow subgroup P of A5​ is a Klein four-group, and its normalizer is A4​. Since kA4​ has one block, Brauer first main theorem gives a unique block of kA5​ with defect P. No order-two subgroup D can be a defect group of a block: both CA5​​(D) and CA5​​(P) equal P, so the Brauer morphisms of a central block idempotent at D and at P are equal. A nonzero image is 1, since a group algebra of a p-group in characteristic p is local, and consequently D is not maximal among subgroups with nonzero Brauer image.
