After missing most of 2011 with a knee injury, Stratton enjoyed a clean bill of health in 2012, playing every game. A low-possession yet highly effective and fearless defender, the West Australian was third at the Hawks in one-percenters. His ability to read the play and spoil or take intercept marks, as well as negate his own man, makes him a crucial cog in the team’s backline. 

Draft history: 2009 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection (Hawthorn) No. 46 overall.
