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.

“From zero hanger” is about the same as “from big footy”.

From Zero Hanger on McCabe...

'Potential Landing Spots
Hawthorn (F/S selection)

AFL Comparisons
Ben McKay
Billy Frampton
Ben Miller'



Disrespectful comparisons. It's a meme to be likened to Frampton.

How would you feel if McCabe was in the conversation for worst premiership winning player? Zero hanger is a dumpster fire but still better than fox footy…

RMC writeup of McCabe, doesn't look that skinny in this pic

Great writeup. Twomey and Co have been pretty average in summarising McCabe’s playing ability. Mention he is a first round chance but very little on what actually he brings to the table. That writeup was best so far.

 

[matey]

Geez McCabe looks like a 6’ 5/6 version of his dad has a bit of that low centre of gravity look about him

type...wow.

 

[KermitJagger]

If McCabe can turn into a Tom Barrass, Hayden Young or Sam Taylor type...wow.

I can see McCabe becoming something of a Matthew Scarlett type player, a solid and manful defender but with an athletic ability streaming off half back that intercepts and rebounds the ball before it can get to dangerous spots. He has a fair way to go to reach that level, but I feel it's a more comparable play style than to Barrass or Taylor who are predominantly 1:1 stoppers and intercept markers.

I'd be thinking more of a Blakey type, he ha great speed and I'd be wary about stacking weight on him with his history of stress fractures.

Likely been told we are not considering him, you'd think.

I wonder if we'll see him line up at Box Hill?

It could be an interesting strategy if we felt he might have some development left, see how he goes after a year or two in the VFL and by not having him nominate in this draft you're not losing out on father son rights if he does eventually.

I wonder why he wouldn't still nominate for the draft though. If he doesn't get picked up by anyone it gives him more flexibility to be signed up in the future as a SSP signing should he improve enough.

Might not have the interest from other clubs. He's coming from a long way back.

Also by not nominating it means he can nominate in the future and we can take him as a F/S I believe.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[MrPremiership]

Smart play.
Go back to Sandy as an overager and retain your F/S status for 2024 draft

No! On gettable they said he would stay at the Dragons and could potentially nominate next year as a F/S.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Hopefully Ned can come into the club a little more and get into training with Finn.

Beside being around some of our best may help him as well.

That must be right. Maybe SSP eligibility hinges on not being picked up in the immediate previous draft.

 

[KermitJagger]

Ah I didn't listen to it. Same thing though, instruct him not to nominate just to preserve our access to him!

 

[MrPremiership]

Isn't Dear an overager who didn't nominate last year?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Way things are going, Norf would be sniffing around

At what time we’re they talking about our f/s?

I would've thought a good player comp would be Alex Rance

Only 5 days out from deadline still no announcement, geez we like to do things at the deadline...

It’s with the AFL. The nomination process isn’t as simple as just writing his name down or making a tweet, they have to fill in paper work and approve it as such.

MM said F/S paper work had been lodged with the AFL and is in the process of being accepted. This was on the talking Hawks Facebook page with MM recently.
