With pace, skill, strength and great concentration, Puopolo quickly became a Hawk fan favourite. He made his debut against Port Adelaide in round six and didn’t miss a game after that. It was a terrific piece of recruiting by Hawthorn to bring this solid, mature-aged defender to Waverley Park to replace Campbell Brown. After spending much of the season as a small defender, was also moved forward to great effect. Kicked three goals against the Sydney Swans in the semi-final.

Draft history: 2010 NAB AFL Draft 4th round selection (Hawthorn) No. 66 overall.
