Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

[threesixpio]

It’s interesting how these things work (player heights and genetics).

Seeing other clubs’ father-sons, e.g. Fletcher, Scarlett, Hawkins, Cloke, Richardson - I remember thinking it would be great to get a KPP ourselves to structurally transform our side.

It seemed like all ours were mids and shorter than their dads - Will Langford, Steve Greene, Josh Kennedy, Finn Maginness, Paul Hudson…

So to finally get a couple of promising genuine KPP prospects in Dear and McCabe- how exciting!

Lewis is exciting too just a bit more injured

 

[threesixpio]

Tall marking players who win contests. Without them you’re farked

 

[Howe Amazing]

Ah * imagine if him and Dear come good. I might start crying

When

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Moves well for his height
New age player

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I've seen enough. Bring him in

 

[matey]

Geez he moves well for 197cm ……. and from what I saw of him over summer he goes/flies hard for his marks too!

 

[Sixpence]

Ah * imagine if him and Dear come good. I might start crying

 

[Hawked Wings]

Ah * imagine if him and Dear come good. I might start crying

What if someone told you he could be the best of the lot

Too injured.
7 seasons and only 2x15 games as his maximum.

As a player he’s great but I discount him based on injury history.

It’s not good enough.

Rated top 10 by a couple of clubs last season.

McCabe ? Sounds like another good get then

Really looking forward to seeing how this kid goes in the coming weeks and will be one of the main reasons I'll tune into BHH games. He'll likely line up alongside DGB and Bodie which is a pretty decent unit even if Phillips goes in for end of season surgery.

Phillips is only 2 weeks off with the surgery.

McCabe, Scaife, DGB, Ward, Bennetts, Ramsden and Bennetts are who I am looking forward to being in the same team.

Imagine McCabe showing the same level of talent and promise as Dear.

It would be like getting Bud and Roughy in the same draft again and would fast track our progress so much!

As much as I love the enthusiasm I think it's important to temper the comparisons with two all time greats. One has played 5 games and the other hasn't debuted yet. I agree that McCabe making it will definitely fast track things for us. There's no rush with him though.

bud & rough are unicorns.

but if Will can sneak a game or two in the seniors & shows a bit then our KPP talent will make media, more importantly player managers & players take serious notice.

here we come

It wasn’t meant to come across as a direct player comparison with two all time greats.

I was trying to suggest that it would be huge to grab two high quality KPPs in one draft, like the 2004 draft.

 

[SSSSSS]

How many weeks until Will has a Box Hill debut?

 

[Dewyyyyy]

How many weeks until Will has a Box Hill debut?

Think next week he’ll get some game time.

 

[MrPremiership]

Very excited to see McCabe running around.

The Xmas present under the tree since November that you're waiting til Christmas to unwrap.

Keen to see him as a forward

 

[ahhhhhh]

Just a reminder:

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Just a reminder:

Can't wait to see a bit of this down at BH

As Topiary has mentioned a couple of times, I'd like to see McCabe trialled as CHF.


HF: .........McCabe...........
FF: ..........Scaife....Rambo

I know there's a bunch of reasons it'll not line up as above (at least this Season), but I'd love to give it a run & see how the boys compete.
