Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

[CaptainWorpedo]

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

Soon hopefully, Will looked in ripping condition in the training photos today loaded by HFC.

Seriously hoping he has the Calsher Dear ending to his year 2024.

A future spine of Lewis, Dear, Nash, McCabe and Blanck looks very good.

Yes as i alluded to above sadly

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

Oh that's a shame, the injury report implied he was OK last week, so I assumed he'd be good to go

Edit: just listened to the injury report and sounds like sensible management for BHH as well as Will.

 

[The Chad and I]

McCabe is going to be worth the wait.

High marking, good rebound and skill.
Excellent athlete and mobility.

No rush.

Still ‘Z’ weeks away according to the clubs socials.

Can't wait to finally see Will run out for the mighty Box Hill Hawks on the weekend, may it be the start of a long and successful career in the brown and gold.

Been a long wait since he told us he was close to making his debut SYL.
Trained on Friday last week with the main squad and didn't look out of place. So much upside to his game.

Would be awesome if he can string together a block of consistent games and get a taste in the seniors towards the end of the year.

Heard he did a couple of eye catching things on the track.

 

[bigconornash]

So excited to see him debut. Going to be a gem.

Forgot how quick he is across the ground. Really want to see him play has many weapons.

 

[cryptor]

Will he be playing back or forward?

 

[TheFourPillars]

Defender

First part massive yes, second parts not going to happen this year off his limited preparation amongst many other things.

 

[Topiary]

Will he be playing back or forward?

Starting as a defender.

 

[peetoo]

Box hill may never concede another goal

 

[I got the outside word]

Too injury prone, hasn’t been able to get on the field since he got to the club. Extremely worried. Hasn’t won a one-on-one all year. Disposal efficiency 0%.

Looking forward to this kid, I have a very good feeling we’ll look back on this draft with much happiness and be accused of rorting the system somehow.

AFL will make it, that you can’t have 2 F/S on a list at any given time after next year…

Which of Jaicos, Naicos or Moore should we target? Or Ashcroft, Ashcroft v2 or Fletcher?

 

[VandoHawk]

TheFourPillars I haven't seen much of young Will due to injuries in his draft year + being unable to attend training.

I know he's skinny now but would he be able to play full back with some additional strength like Darcy Moore

? Or is he more the modern CHB?

His ability to intercept mark and his speed and agility make him a CHB. If he gets a clean run I can just see this board going nuts wanting him in the team.

The AFL will make a special ruling. Concessions apply
