After initially starting his career as a forward, the Hawks unleashed Conor Nash in the midfield at the end of 2021 in what was an eye-popping move. Over the last four games of last year, Nash played his best football yet, averaging 20.2 disposals and 4.7 tackles. At 197cm, he offers something different to the midfield, especially with his physicality. Nash’s athletic traits are up there with some of the most formidable at the club, with his tackling pressure particularly impressive so far this season. Nash was awarded a new two-year deal from the club in 2022, locking him in at the Hawks until at least the end of 2024.
