What role do they play for the club both on and off the field?
On-Field Hamish is a classy goal-kicking forward that can pinch hit in the midfield. He has explosive pace and the ability to run down anyone in the competition.
Off-Field he is an unassuming character, that loves to let out a off the cuff one-liner

Nomination Details
Reason for nomination this round:
Hamish’s ability as a deep small forward to take marks inside 50 & kick 2 goals helped us secure victory, with plenty of touches and tackles throughout the match.
Coach quote on Performance:
“Hamish began our teams defence from our forward line and also provided a consistent option up at the ball for our kickers. He worked back hard to the marking contests to apply physical pressure on the defence, which helped us get intercept marks & turnovers.”
