Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn - Mabior Chol

[rei154]

I can’t help but see a lot of James Podsiadly in this guy. Mature age recruit who took it to a new level in his late 20s.

I’m more and more impressed by what Chols Royce is doing every week.

I was outraged for a second, not the worst comparison all things considered.

He's been robbed of several shots on goal this season, a few of which were dead in front or 10m out (or like Ginnivan's second goal today, Chol's shot was surely going in).

He could have probably had 5 more goals.

Should have had the winner against GWS too, but Punky stole it.

Love Cholly but I was extremely thankful it was Breust taking the shot, and I think Mabs would agree.

Ginnivan was the architect from 20m away getting it into Breust's hands when he realised it was downfield.

Vote 1, Air Mabs.

 

[grumbleguts]

Think you’re getting him confused with Watson

Easy to do.

Seems like a real happy fella.
More stoked about this recruit than ever!

The club was being criticised for his contract , length and dollars. Right now it's looking a deadset bargain.

Genuinely odd to considering it was a money ball buy

Looks lackadaisical but definitely not one to mess with.

he has the ability - just needs to be harnessed correctly and it looks like we have done so.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Very underrated in how competitive he is, more conditioning and confidence and it will be a at very high level.

One of those pleasing parts of our drafting and also misses on the trade table is how competitive a person we pick up

Good article, thanks for posting. So glad to see him make good. I had no doubt he would perform with us given his history, I was surprised at the folks who so negative about his recruitment. Scrimshaw is another one of those under achievers who's come good with us. It's a great thing for the players themselves, good for us fans and a positive reflection on our coaches/system. If you ever find yourself in a position to train/teach/coach people, you get a great buzz when one of you charges starts performing to their ability.

Absolutely love what big mabs has brought to the team. F50 pressure is a huge part of what makes a successful side, and in mabs and dear we've got 2 key position sized lads who also chase and harrass like smalls. Beautiful to watch.

 

[Howe Amazing]

Hope he kicks a few today. My son calls him the Cholman Medalist

 

[grumbleguts]

Chases, tackles, flies for marks, rucks, works up onto wings, stands up for teammates.

Great to see him playing so consistently well.

And so lazily.

[Howe Amazing]

I love this guy

 

[flinchfree]

I love this guy

I reckon he can feel it, not just from his teammates and the Club, but from all of us............
I absolutely love watching people flourish when they know they're in a safe place to be themselves.

 

[Hawks1994]

The little things he does are my favourite

Twice I remember him running full tilt at the player kicking the ball to try and influence the kick. Those things are little psychological wins
He competes for everything and looks like he's having a ripping time in doing so

 

[The Chad and I]

When we drafted him I said he could be our “buddy-lite”. He’s now on track for 35 goals without finals.

I think we’re about to see the best of him.

I actually think he's got another level or two to go.
Only 27, his display in the ruck space yesterday was incredible- I don't think we've got a finished product here by any stretch.
