Early career

Maginness played for the Sandringham Dragons in 2019 and also represented Vic Metro in four games across that year's national carnival. He also played for his school Scotch College, Melbourne and was captain of the First XVIII.[1]

AFL career

Hawthorn secured Maginness under the father-son rule, after matching North Melbourne's bid with Pick 29 in the 2019 AFL Draft. [2]

Maginness had to negotiate a difficult COVID-19 affected season. He showed promise during the pre-season games and with scratch matches against other AFL clubs. His patience was rewarded with a round 17 debut against Western Bulldogs.[3]

Family

Finn's father Scott played 131 games for Hawthorn between 1988–1996. His grandfather Norm played 64 games between 1953 and 1958.
