Versatile forward Mitch Hannan requested a trade to the Western Bulldogs from Melbourne during the 2020 AFL Trade Period. Agreeing to a two-year deal, the 27-year-old is already familiar with VU Whitten Oval – having featured in Footscray VFL’s 2016 premiership under now-forwards coach Ash Hansen.

Starved of opportunities last season, he managed just nine senior games in 2020.
