After spending three years on the Western Bulldogs list, Boumann came to Hawthorn’s attention after a ripping season with the Box Hill Hawks where he finished third in the best and fairest. He is a robust defender and thus adds depth to one part of the ground where the Hawks are seemingly vulnerable. The club particularly likes his closing speed but, although big and strong, he still needs to add some bulk.
Draft History: 2007 NAB AFL Draft 3rd Round selection (Western Bulldogs) no. 48 overall; 2011 NAB ADL Draft traded by GWS for no. 56.
