There are 13 Hawks eligible for the 2020 Rising Star award. 

Hawthorn has boasted at least one Rising Star nominee each year dating back to 2014.

But the club has only ever had two winners in the award's 26-year history and not since Sam Mitchell in 2003 - Nick Holland is the other successful Hawk back in 1995.

To be eligible for the AFL Rising Star award, nominated players must be under the age of 21 at 1 January 2020 and have played no more than 10 AFL games.

So, will this year be the year the Hawks hoodoo is broken?
