Will Day returned in dazzling fashion on Saturday, earning this week’s MVP following an impressive performance in Hawthorn’s loss to the Western Bulldogs.
The 21-year-old played his first game back following a two-game suspension that saw him miss games against GWS and Adelaide.
Day came back with a bang, finishing with a career-best and game-high 30 touches and seven clearances, five marks, six score involvements and one goal.
