Who is Jarrad Boumann?

Jarrad Boumann is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League. After having been drafted by the Western Bulldogs in 2007 and subsequently delisted, Boumann was picked up by Hawthorn via the concessions allowed to the AFL's newest club, Greater Western Sydney.

Boumann was drafted in from Box Hill as part of a trade deal with Greater Western Sydney and, at only 22, after a few fruitless years on the Western Bulldogs' list.

Boumann made his debut in round 1, against Collingwood. After a game against St Kilda, he reported stomach pains. Boumann had surgery to remove his appendix. Boumann later injured his hand in a fight outside a city nightclub on 22 July 2012. Boumann has told club officials he punched one of his attackers in self-defence, fracturing his hand. Police have begun investigating the incident, which occurred near the corner of Exhibition and Lonsdale streets as Boumann and a friend tried to hail a taxi about 2.45am. Boumann says he was kicked repeatedly. Two men were arrested and questioned about 45 minutes later.

Boumann was announced delisted by the Hawks as of the 12 October 2012.
