Listen: The Wizard's first interview as a Hawk

Nick Watson on Sam Mitchell, the knock on his height and bringing the "fun" back to Bunjil Bagora

Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for all the news through Hawthorn-tinted glasses and more exclusive content.

Nick ‘The Wizard’ Watson faced the media just moments after being drafted by Hawthorn with pick 5 in the AFL National Draft.

The moment.

Listen as this self-described “energiser bunny” discussed:

  • Brent Harvey’s influence on his career;

  • The knock on his height;

  • His relationship with Sam Mitchell;

  • The club he supported growing up (spoiler: it’s not Hawthorn);

  • Learning from Luke Breust;

  • Bringing the “fun” to Bunjil Bagora;

  • Embracing the inner-pest; and

  • His friendship with draft hopeful Will Lorenz, grandson of Hawks legend Graham Arthur.
