A number of Hawthorn youngsters continued to show promise in 2019, most notably James Worpel and Mitch Lewis.
Worpel had the most disposals of any Hawk this season, while Lewis booted 20 goals from his 12 senior appearances this year.
Dylan Moore, Changkuoth Jiath and Ollie Hanrahan were the Hawks’ three debutants this year and all three are already locked in for 2020.
Swingman Tim O’Brien recently agreed to a two-year contract extension after he also had a breakout campaign in 2019.
