Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Noah Mraz!

[Noel Gallagher]

I wouldn't count McCabe out just yet

great reminder!

He is likely type who covers the ground really well and is a competitor. He reads the play well and has a good pair of hands and can actually get off the ground to take a mark. Nearly took a hanger in a pack the other day at training. He looks like he has a body that can put on weight and muscle. He would be an imposing figure in 3 to 4 years given what he has done already since start of this year.

Mmmh, coach's pick.

It's what stood out for me too from the highlights before draft. Just arrives hard and high, crashes if needed, plucks when possible, doesn't want to leave that leather behind.
Looks quickly for the quick offloading kick and handball, doesn't need to stop and survey and think too hard or be scared of missing.
Unlike some here, don't mind his footskills.

Looks a ripper.

Yep, we drafted one literally just last year! And Blanck a year or two before that.

Geez when you consider we'll be trying to fit any combination of Sicily, Hardwick, Barrass, Battle, Scrim, Frosty, Impey + Amon in our backline and then have Mraz, Serong, Blanck, McCabe + Ryan developing nicely at Box Hill the club is in an extremely good place in that side of the field.

It's crazy to think that we're only 3-4 years removed of having a backline containing Kyle Hartigan, Daniel Howe, Lachie Bramble and Tim O'Brien. Oh how times have changed.
