Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

[The Chad and I]

He's got it all.
Timing in the air.
Great hands.
Good kick and decision maker.
Excellent athleticism.

He is such an all-rounder that he could play as an oversized back-flanker until he gets bigger/stronger.
That is the only question mark over him becoming a dominant KPD - will he get big enough?
His dad was a good solid size, so I am optimistic on that front.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Tall, good in the air, very mobile and has quality skills by foot. He moves a bit like the Lizard when he is rebounding.

It will be interesting to see whether he gets a KPD post at Box Hill, or whether he plays more as a rebounding third tall.

[Glenferrie Arty Deco]

Dead set, he's got it

 

[HawthornHawk]

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.

Not wrong, 1.5 quarters of VFL footy is enough for me, put him in cotton wool and take him to Tassie next week i say!

 

[Dewwwww]

Looks like he has been playing VFL for 3yrs

Very good Signs

 

[TylerDurden]

He's ready to go now.

He was playing limited minutes in his first game for the season.

 

[Tomohawks]

He was close to the best player on the ground in the first half. That sure is saying something considering it's his first game as well. Gee, if he can fill out we'll have one of the best KPD's in the league.

Love hearing this.
Could change everything.

 

[Siri]

Went to Box Hill today to watch him up close. In short, he'll be a player. Not much else to add to what's already been said. Moved beautifully, clean strong hands & great ball use (either short or long). What was also pleasing was the support he received from his team mates on the park. They encouraged & coached him whenever they could as he was still familiarising himself with their structure. They applauded everything he did. Yes, he's tall but didn't appear to be KPD tall. Reckon that he'll start his AFL career on the back flank. So exciting.

 

[Walshawk]

He has the skinniest legs I have ever seen on an AFL player.

 

[Topiary]

He's ready to go now.

Not sure. Another week. Depends on what happens with Sic. Remember he is only a kid. We need to be patient. At least he is ours.

No way could we play him in a key position. On a flank though is possible.

Heart says id like to see him next week at the AFL. Brain says another week or two at VFL with full games. If he dominates then we give him his first game.

 

[The hands of stone]

He just played his first game for the season , managed minutes for a half .

Be excited , but playing seniors next week ? Cmon let's give the kid a chance to string some footy together at the lower level first .

 

[Steven Tyler]

He has the skinniest legs I have ever seen on an AFL player.

Skinnier than Jarrad “spindle shanks” Grant?

Dear, Watson, and McCabe in one draft.

+Scaife in the MSD.

Gonna look back on this as one of the great draft hauls for us.

Lucky to get 3 KPP this good in 5-10 years let alone in one year.

Hopefully Scaife does come on

With a 70m rocket on him I reckon it won’t be long

 

[TylerDurden]

Has all the tools to make it.
