Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Pick 7, Cam MacKenzie, extends to 2026!

When he plays with some aggression he looks like the star we all think he becomes.

Biggest positive of Day going down was extra minutes for MacKenzie and looked pretty good. Another pre-season, strength work, and working on building on his acceleration (which is a strength), should see him as a weapon in our midfield rotation. Extremely classy by hand and foot, which is a bit of a pain for the opposition who have the bash and crash of Newk, Worps, Nash, Day to worry about already.

 

[Slainte]

Looks like belongs in the rotations. Not just there for experience any more. Likely to build his core strength and tank but already able to contribute. Great future, given his composure and ball handling skills.

 

[The hands of stone]

He is a star in the making , think we are managing him beautifully .

 

[SSSSSS]

Breakout game yesterday.

 

[SSSSSS]

Another year in the gym will do him wonders too.

He threw himself into every contest yesterday but there were a couple of times when opposition players were able to walk through his tackles.

Another preseason will fix that up. He's going to be a star!

100%.

There was one centre bounce where he bounced off the chest of LDU. Got absolutely put on his arse when he tried to tackle.

Add a couple more kgs and some extra miles in the legs and he will go a long way.

He’s one of the players competing for the last 3 spots in the team. On yesterday he will play the first final.

 

[Hawks1994]

I've said it before, but with ball in hand he looks so much like his own coach back in his own playing days

Seems to have that rare trait like Mitchell and Pendlebury before him of looking like they have double the amount of time than anyone else out there

Has always had exceptional skills and he's now starting to do a bit more of the contested stuff

I reckon if you showed an American these two photos, they would say these are the same people...

 

[MisterBean]

I must admit when I saw the first photo, I initially thought it was Mackenzie.

Is that a comment on Mackenzie and Mitchell, or a comment about Americans?

Hammy, ruled out

Hammy, ruled out

That's a real shame as I think his talents are suited to the big stage and was poised for a big one. Only a minor strain so hopefully we see him next week or the week after.

If I don't post again on these threads, you will know what occurred to me...

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Damn, was really looking forward to him playing his first final.

Hopefully this means Ward comes straight in to replace him.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

 

[Kenyan]

That's a real shame because the lad is developing so well and this would be such good experience.

 

[CHUBBSS]

You just know he would be feeling pretty rough, it will steal him for the next 10 years but you feel for him

 

[Dixie Flatline]

 

[toomanysquibs]

This is some bloody bad luck. Sammy was starting to walk into tackles and not even get bothered by them.

When a guy whose disposal is as clean as his starts doing that sort of thing, you can't help but dream of another Darren Jarman.

Feel shattered for him and the team.

Now it's Ward's chance to shine. He has the talent, he has the skill. But is his belief arriving on the next train to the G, or is it coming further down the road?

Another layer of intrigue – but we need it to happen now.

 

[tommyk72]

As rough as the injury is for Cam, I think he's one player we can rapidly replace. Hoping he's back healthy soon and has a chance to challenge for spot in the side as we go deeper into finals.

Hawks star to miss Power clash, young mid doubtful

The Hawks have made a call on Will Day ahead of their semi-final against the Power

I'm paying just under $700 to go to Adelaide, and I can't even watch my favourite player.
Thank gosh we have Ward, but I'm feeling Comfortably Numb.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Wonder where he sits if we get through

Wonder where he sits if we get through

He'll play next week
