Finn Maginness (born 23 February 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Finn is a 3rd generation Hawk as his father and grandfather played football with the club.
Maginness played for the Sandringham Dragons in 2019 and also represented Vic Metro in four games across that year's national carnival. He also played for his school Scotch College, Melbourne and was captain of the First XVIII.[1] Prior he played community football for East Brighton Vampires in the South Metro Junior Football League.
Hawthorn secured Maginness under the father-son rule, after matching North Melbourne's bid with Pick 29 in the 2019 AFL Draft. [2]
Maginness had to negotiate a difficult COVID-19 affected season. He showed promise during the pre-season games and with scratch matches against other AFL clubs. His patience was rewarded with a round 17 debut against Western Bulldogs.[3]
Throughout 2022 and 2023, Maginness evolved into a tagging role, and quickly became one of the best taggers in the league, shutting down players such as Josh Kelly (Australian footballer), Touk Miller, and Clayton Oliver. He gained widespread praise for his tagging effort on Nick Daicos in Round 21, 2023, restricting Daicos to a career-low 5 disposals before Daicos left the field in the third quarter injured.
Finn's father Scott played 131 games for Hawthorn between 1988–1996. His grandfather Norm played 64 games between 1953 and 1958.
Maginness currently studies a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws at Deakin University.[4]
Updated to the end of 2023.[5]
