Ben Stratton
Games: 19
Goals: 0
Yabby Medal votes: 0
Milestones
First game as Hawthorn captain (round 1, 2019 versus Adelaide Crows)
First win as Hawthorn captain (round 1, 2019 versus Adelaide Crows)
First loss as Hawthorn captain (round 2, 2019 versus Western Bulldogs)
Standout
Round 1, 2019 (versus Adelaide Crows): Stratton got his time as Hawthorn captain off to the right start, with a composed and assured performance against the Crows. Although Eddie Betts kicked two goals for the game, Stratton marshalled the defence well to restrict the Crows to 55 points for the game.
Shocker
Round 13, 2019 (versus Essendon Bombers): Having been caught on camera the previous week pinching his Brisbane Lion opponents, Stratton doubled down on a Friday night and constantly harassed Orazio Fantasia, leading the Bomber to complain to the umpires and drawing the attention of the Friday night commentators. To make matters worse, Hawthorn looked toothless against the Bombers and Stratton was sent straight to the tribunal but the Match Review Officer, culminating in Stratton missing the next two matches through suspension.
