Hawthorn has filled one of their list spots via the supplemental selection period, adding Lachlan Bramble.
The 22-year-old midfielder was set to play for the Box Hill Hawks in 2021 in the VFL, but has been given an opportunity on the AFL list.
“We’re excited to bring Lachlan into the fold at Hawthorn,” said club Head of Football Rob McCartney.
“We see plenty of upside with Lachlan, he’s got experience playing at the VFL level with Williamstown and had signed on with Box Hill earlier this year. He has shown good development over the past few years and has plenty of room to grow.
“Lachlan has presented himself strongly over the pre-season and our recent trial matches. He’s got versatility in his game, shows skill on both sides of his body and possesses good speed and power.
“We believe the added maturity of some life experience outside of football will set Lachlan in good stead as he takes the next step in his football career.”
The Hawks have another list spot to utilise either before the supplemental selection period deadline closes or in the mid-season draft.
The second spot was freed up by the retirement of Tom Scully.
