Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn - Conor Nash. Extends to 2029!

[KermitJagger]

Nash and Glass played on either wing and between them, had less than 28 touches...

Would far rather see Nash groomed as a FB and Glass as a HBFer...

Maybe they are both being taught how to build on their defensive sides and go forward.

There's a radical difference between being an outside player in the VFL to an outside player in the AFL, that being said I'm not saying he'd come straight into that position but a player of that size who has the ability to get forward to attack and back to defend would be a huge proposition.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

All part of their education. I am excited what both these lads can bring to the club, but I have been wrong in the past, so I really hope both can step up and become long term Hawks.

Agreed. I would like to see them both get some AFL game time post the bye.

Nash looked really physically imposing on the wing. He wasn’t dominant, but I also couldn’t help noticing him whenever the ball was near. I was a little disappointed when I saw his stat sheet because it looked like he got it more than that.

Yeah, the stats don't do him justice. He looked a class above. Very exciting to watch.

Don't look at the stats and just be happy with what you've seen

 

[KermitJagger]

I promised I wouldn't get ahead of myself but the prospect of a 198cm wingman has seen me not only get head of myself, but lap myself twice already.

 

[Agent Smith]

I'd like to see Nash given a game sooner rather than later, perhaps before Clarko puts a line through the season.

Reckon he is more likely to get a game if Clarko does that

 

[Noneedforaname]

I tell ya what though, if these boys ever head back to Ireland, I hope it's to head up the Irish branch of our International Academy. Nash seems to be gettin a schooling in every position there is.

Get that up ya AFL

Congratulations to the Irish kid if true. I feel a star will be born this weekend. Good luck to the kid for a wonderful future.

Made my weekend, and it's only Thursday.

Message to the cats -You show us yours, (Touhey) and we'll show you ours, (Nash the flash.)

Hope he has a good debut, and it's the first of many games he plays for us.

 

[B&GBlood]

Interesting time to debut a kid, 70k+ v the Pussies, no pressure. I wonder who he replaces?

Rising Star nomination this week ;-)

 

[The German Hunter]

Reckon he is the perfect inclusion to negate Blitz as well as a chop out for Cegs. Congratulations young man, good luck on Saturday

I didn't mention no pressure did I?

 

[TAITA]

Really pleased to see him get a run and I suspect he won't let us down but in fact relish the big stage.

 

[Brishawk]

To be sure! Potato! I think that means awesome in Irish

Well done Conor

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Strange choice to debut him in such a big game, but best of luck to the lad all the same.

 

[Manila_Hawk]

Fantastic news.

Big game. Big atmosphere... and hopefully BIG WIN.

Full credit to ThaiHawk for willing him over the line....

 

[Nugett]

Love how Clarko, told his parents to prolong their flights, so they can see their son play.
Shows how empathetic Clarko is. Congrats to Connor, hope he does himself, his family and us supporters proud on Saturday!

 

[lyger]

Yey! Nash has huge upside, so even if it’s just a game (taste) it should do wonders for his development and hopefully a semi-permanent spot in the team next year.

 

[MrPremiership]

Wonder what role he'll play. At BHH he's been used as a forward, defender, ruck and a winger.

Thanks MH. I will be glued to the TV, and hope he has a good one. Interesting to hear him say his mum and dad were going home on Friday, but not now. Sentimental bloke is our Clarko.

Good question. Wing, to let him run around and use his pace, or defence, so he can focus on an opponent, or forward, where he might their third or fourth defender and cause a mismatch?
I don’t know.
