As voted by the fans, Will Day is Hawthorn’s Round 7 MVP, presented by United Petroleum.

On what was ultimately another challenging night for the Hawks, Will Day provided a reason for Hawks fans to remain optimistic.

In just the second game of his career, Day showed a level of composure well beyond his years.

Match report: Dees too strong in Sydney as Hawks suffer third loss on the trot 

The 19-year-old collected 19 possessions and eight marks as well as recording 332 metres gained for the Hawks, the third-most of any teammate. 

Despite being listed at just 70kgs, Day also showed a willingness to put his body on the line on a number of occasions for his team, at one stage standing in front of Melbourne goliath Max Gawn in order to cut off a Demon's forward play.
