Finn Maginness is a Bulldog. Here’s my 2027 AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach verdict on the ex-Hawthorn tagger.
Finn Maginness built his name at Hawthorn as a stopper. Between 2023 and 2025, if the Hawks needed someone shut down, he got the job. Ask any Collingwood fan about the day he went to Nick Daicos. He tackles hard, his hands in tight are cleaner than he gets credit for, and his effort is through the roof.
The Western Bulldogs haven’t had that on their list. Luke Beveridge now has a genuine lockdown lever to pull at selection, plus some extra depth through the midfield and forward line. For Hawthorn, it’s a depth player moving on after just 6 games in 2026, with younger, higher-ceiling options already ahead of him.
For your 2027 side? He averaged 45.7 in AFL Fantasy and 50.8 in SuperCoach this year. I don’t have him in the Bulldogs’ best 23. I explain why I’m not chasing him in classic or draft, and the one scenario that changes my mind.
