Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

[CaptainWorpedo]

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.

I’ll just be happy to see him play a game on brown and gold

We bumped on Will at the coffeeshop during one of the training break last week, he mentioned he will start in Defense but later on his career he doesn't mind kicking goals.

Lovely! Can't wait

 

[big footy cyril]

Is he a chance to release Weddle or even swap with him as a defensive wing down the track?

While he piddles on the Wiggles…

McCabe will become the centrepiece of our defence.

He’s great when the ball is in the air or ground, excellent skills, defends like a madman, and provides lots of rebound.

A fully developed McCabe is not priced in yet. He will push us into contention in the latter half of 2026.

Yeah he’s definitely a defender, as much as he’s capable forward.

Defensively strong, superb aerially, run and dash and good user.

CHB is his and you can run with Sicily/Scrim more third talls and maybe one of Phillips/Blanck the other key post. Denver could come into this as a third tall or CHB. Weddle moves afield.

2026?

The rate at which we're improving, it'll be disappointing if we don't contend in 2025, even with a not-fully-developed McCabe.

From the small bits I have seen at training over the summer he likes run and fly for his marks like Dear.

Mitchell blanck Ryan
Mcdonald McCabe weddle

Is a bloody exciting backline for the future.

Who's playing Full Back? You have nobody there

 

[Agent Smith]

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

That's a lot of Bennetts

We won’t need a full back, as the ball will always be heading towards our forward line…

 

[MrPremiership]

Any chance this week for BHH on limited minutes?

 

[MasterSamurai]

Can't wait to see this young man out there, I'm a firm believer of him. He was even touted as a first round talent in the draft by a fair few clubs!

he was picked in the 1st round

If he gets through training this week, he'll be one of the additions to play some game time at Box Hill.

 

[tl92]

Almost the forgotten man this season. Can’t wait to see him play. If he can step up and make a KPD spot his own, we are laughing.

 

[KermitJagger]

I hope Will and Calsher develop into two parts of a formidable spine together, like Riewoldt and Rance at the Tiges. I think they could. It's such a huge advantage to have two promising young KPPs challenging each other at training.

 

[Philhawk]

I’m hoping post bye he gets a real good block of game time in the reserves. Maybe even a debut against Adelaide away?

Can't wait to see this young man play for BH this week! Feels like forever since his injury

Hope he plays this week but thats not a given not far off though. Here's hoping

Fingers crossed he gets a solid 3-4 week block in and then debuts in Adelaide in front of family and friends.

McCabe is still a week away from playing at Box Hill.
