Nicknamed The Cranium (after his cleanly shaven head, due to alopecia)[3] or simply Mil for short, Hanna is distinguished as having been the first Lebanese-born player in the history of the Victorian Football League/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).[4] and the only AFL player of Lebanese descent until the debut of Bachar Houli in 2007.
Hanna grew up in the inner-northern suburbs of Melbourne, where he played his junior football in Brunswick East.[2] He was educated at East Brunswick High and Strathmore Secondary College.
He was known in the VFL/AFL for his athletic physique and fast pace playing as a tall running wingman.[2]
Hanna made his senior playing debut in 1986, but ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during his first game. Following almost a year of rehabilitation, he enjoyed a largely injury-free career with Carlton.
Hanna played in two AFL Grand Finals for Carlton: in the 1993 losing side and Carlton's premiership-winning team in 1995. He was selected as a member of the All-Australian team in 1992.[2]
After being delisted by Carlton, he trained with Richmond, but was unable to be drafted by them due to Richmond being banned from participating in the 1998 pre-season draft due to them exceeding the salary cap in 1997.[5]
Hanna was inducted into Carlton's Hall of Fame in 2016.[6]
