Bodie Ryan (born 20 April 2005) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) He previously played for the Hawthorn Football Club.

AFL career

Ryan was drafted by the Hawthorn Football Club with pick 46 in the 2023 AFL draft. Ryan made his debut in round 9 of the 2026 AFL season, having 7 disposals in a 15-point loss to Fremantle. During this game, he notably entered the field, outside of the interchange gates, which led to him getting a possession almost instantly and leading to a Hawthorn goal causing controversy. [citation needed]

Ryan played a total of five games for Hawthorn at AFL level, his final game being a 35-point loss to future club Melbourne in round 18. After being dropped from the AFL side after this match, Ryan played the rest of the season in the VFL for the Box Hill Hawks, playing in a winning VFL premiership against Geelong. Ryan was delisted by Hawthorn following the conclusion of the 2026 season.

Despite having been delisted, Ryan was traded to Melbourne minutes before the trade deadline in the 2026 trade period for Pick 107, in similar fashion to how Richmond player Patrick Retschko was traded the year before.
