  • 22 Under 22(3ร—) 2024, 2025, 2026

Secured by Hawthorn in the first round of the 2022 National Draft after the club aggressively traded up to pick 18 to select him, Josh Weddle arrived with a reputation for elite aerobic capacity and athleticism. Emerging from the Oakleigh Chargers, he wasted little time adapting to the pace of AFL football, cementing a spot in the senior side during his debut season and earning selection in the 22under22 team. A prototype modern utility, Weddle is best known for his rebounding work off half-back and his ability to break lines with speed, though he has frequently demonstrated the tank to play on a wing or drift forward to impact the scoreboard. A key component of Sam Mitchell's tactical setup, he has developed into a reliable defensive staple who provides the essential run and carry that drives the Hawks' transition from defence to attack.
