Player Watch 2023 Father Son player watch - McCabe, Dear and Maginness

[Strapping Young Lad]

Guys, I keep deleting posts referencing this, but can we move away from suggesting or making juvenile jokes about the bloodlines of players.

This is a public forum and parents of players do read here.

The hit outs are the key bit. Would be great if he can ruck like Paul.

No one 194cm gets drafted as a ruck nowadays.

Paul Dear’s rucking was astonishing 30+ years ago, but he was 188cm and that was when the average ruckman was around 195 - 198cm.

Now they’re 10 - 15cm taller.

If Calsher is getting into the AFL it will be as a KPP - those stats are the key, not his hit outs.

Not as a full time Ruckman! Plays 76% chf and 24% Ruckman, when main ruck needs a rest.

Hmm TJ looking more and more likely to be drafted before 40...hope he falls to us though.

Put some money on the Swans or DoDo and the * bidding on him

Swans have our 3rd currently pick 41 which after matching likely comes into ironically about pick 38 and then this happens…”tonight Matthew the part of Kinnear Beatson will be played by draft royalty…”

No, we can automatically put him as a Cat A rookie if overlooked in the National Draft, but it's not off-list in the Cat B spots.

At any rate, Cat B is likely to be some combination of Bennetts, O'Hara and TJ next year - a maximum of two of them.

Unfortunately I understand O'Hara has gone back to Ireland and isn't continuing with his AFL journey.

Unfortunately I understand O'Hara has gone back to Ireland and isn't continuing with his AFL journey.

That would be a shame. Thought he was really starting to show signs until he was taken out off the ball. Since that concussion he didn't really look close to where he was which was disappointing.

Wish him all the best

Jiath, the younger brother of current Hawk Changkuoth, has risen up draft boards and may not be available to Hawthorn after pick 40, when it will be able to match an NGA bid. – Callum Twomey

I think Twomey means 'before'.

Dear will be on the list next season.

It would be a good story if true.

As I said before, getting 7 hit outs as a back up ruckman in an U18 game isn’t what is “the key” to getting the attention of recruiters.

Give us an idea of the origins of your source(s) almighty Scoop.

Given its a roll we need addressing I am unsure why this wouldn’t be an an extra consideration

When we win our next premierships want to see Day, McCabe, Finn and Dear in a pic together holding cups ……. that would be a nice footy romance moment . Finn’s 3rd generation his pop also played for the mighty Hawks

Oh Dear, I see a growth spurt on the horizon.

We should stand him next to Serong to see if he has already grown a few centimetres......

None of crawf’s kids looking very likely, have all had the opportunity to join the Gold Coast academy and none have taken it from memory

According to their mum, if any of the 4 choose AFL it would most likely be Ben. An both older boys are still playing at this stage according to her instagram flat out mum.

I think Ben is a lot keener on surfing and they aren’t pushing him to play footy (BASTARDS)
