Josh Weddle

Playing every game in his second season is a credit to Weddle and the fitness team as Hawks supporters speculate as to what will be his best position. Primarily playing as a tall defender, Weddle’s capacity to run off his opponent to provide overlap options off half-back has some thinking the midfield may serve him better, which was further enhanced when he played as the around ground ruck option on a few occasions. Being able to kick 10 goals including the team’s goal of the year (v Carlton round 22) also contributed to this discussion. His contract was extended to 2026.

Honours

NAB Rising Star Nominee (2023), Hawthorn's Most Promising Player (2023).
