In this year’s draft the Hawks will make history…

With our first pick at No. 88, no team has ever had a first pick so late in the NAB AFL Draft.

However all hope is not lost.

With other club’s expected to pass, this number could quickly change to sit somewhere in the 70s, or even 60s.

The Hawks are no stranger to using late picks and have drafted some serious talent with them over the years.

So hawthornfc.com.au have decided to take a look back and rank our top 10 draft bargains since the National Draft commenced in 1986.

Rankings were based on a combination of factors including number of games played, goals scored and premierships won.

We also took into consideration the lateness of the pick, with all players drafted after pick 50.

So stay tuned for our countdown that will run in the lead up to the draft, with #10 kicking off at 4pm today.
