A champion centreman who could also play at centre half forward. A master of the drop kick, Bohan had excellent skills on both sides. He captained Hawthorn for two years and won the best and fairest twice, yet he never played in the finals despite coming heart-breakingly close in 1943 when he booted four goals in the last round. “I cried all weekend,” he said years later.
