Early life
Hanrahan was born in Fitzroy, Victoria where he then grew up in Brighton East. In his earlier days he was very well known for his cricket abilities, being a talented all rounder for the St Kevin's College 1st XI as well as playing for the Melbourne cricket club. Hanrahan was drafted straight from school football in the APS competition after quitting the Sandringham Dragons (TAC cup) due to cricket commitments. He played for St Kevin's College 1st XVIII where he made his debut as a 15 year old.[1]
AFL career
The small forward began to learn the craft at VFL level and finished with 19 goals for the season. His goal in the dying seconds of the elimination final against Port Melbourne gave the win for the Hawks.[2] Three weeks later they were premiers.
Hanrahan made his AFL debut in round 15, 2019, against West Coast at the MCG. He kicked a goal in his debut match.[3] Hanrahan played well enough to hold his spot in the team for the rest of the season. He was elevated at the end of the season onto the main list.[4]
