Clubs:
Debut: AFL 2009
Recruited from: Wagga Tigers (NSW)
Brownlow Votes: -

One of only three Hawks to play every game in 2012, Suckling was an attacking weapon off half-back. The piercing left-footer led the Hawks in rebounds from defensive 50 and marks, continually finding space and delivering to a target. With Clinton Young’s departure, is a candidate to play further up the ground this season.

Draft history: 2007 Rookie Draft selection (Hawthorn) No. 22; 2009 Rookie Draft selection (Hawthorn) No. 79; 2009 NAB AFL Draft rookie elevation (Hawthorn) selection No. 70.
