AFL career

= 2004-2007: Introduction to senior football =

Roughead was recruited to Hawthorn with the 2nd overall pick in the 2004 AFL draft.{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2004-11-22/2004-afl-national-draft-list/589988|title=2004 AFL national draft list|website=ABC News|date=November 22, 2004|access-date=March 1, 2020}} he was selected by Hawthorn along with future dual-club superstar Lance Franklin. Both Roughead and Franklin were to be key members of Hawthorn's line up as they grew older.{{cite web|url=https://www.theroar.com.au/2015/04/08/revisiting-the-2004-afl-draft/|title=Revisiting the 2004 AFL draft|website=The Roar|last1=Swersky|first1=Tiarne|date=April 7, 2015|access-date=March 1, 2020}}

In Round 19, 2005, Roughhead was nominated for the AFL Rising Star award. He collected 20 disposals in a 41-point loss against the Brisbane Lions.

= 2007-2009: Hitting form =

In 2007, Roughhead finished the season with a career-high of 40 goals in 22 games. However, along with his 40 majors, Roughead's goal accuracy was at 52.6 percent that year, a mark considered to not be very good.

During his career, Roughhead has shown that he has the tremendous athletic capability with a huge leap and clean marking hands. In the 2008 AFL season, he kicked 75 goals from 25 matches. Despite having the ability to work as a member of Hawthorn's defence, he became a regular centre half-forward for Hawthorn.

In 2008, he played in his first AFL Grand Final, despite his struggles to collect the ball at times, Roughead finished the match with a respectable 2 goals against Geelong.

Roughhead kicked a career-high 8 goals in a slim 5 point victory over the Carlton Blues.

= 2011-2012: Injuries =

In 2011, Roughhead played in a ruck position as well as the forward line due to Hawthorn's injury list. In their Round 12 clash against Geelong, he ruptured his Achilles tendon during the final quarter of the match. Roughead was stretchered off the ground and was ruled out for the remainder of the 2011 AFL season. He finished the season with 16 goals.

He spent the majority of the 2012 AFL season sharing the ruck duties with David Hale (footballer). When not in the ruck, he was position in the forward line, but also assisted in defence as the need arose.

= 2013-2015: Medals and premierships =

In 2013, Roughead was awarded the Coleman Medal for being the leading goalkicker after kicking 68 goals at the completion of the home and away season.{{cite web|url=https://sgst.com.au/2013/08/coleman-medal-great-but-rougheads-after-flag/|title=Coleman medal great but Roughead's after flag|website=South Gippsland Sentinel-Times|author=Web Admin|date=August 26, 2013|access-date=March 1, 2020}} He managed to achieve this whilst spending considerable time in the ruck as well as in the midfield alongside his rucking partners.{{cite web|url=http://syn.org.au/afl-2013-home-away-season-wrap/|title=AFL: 2013 Home & Away Season Wrap|website=Syn|author=Jessb|date=September 3, 2013|access-date=March 1, 2020}}
