Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Cam Nairn

[Strapping Young Lad]

Welcome Cam!

 

[noobermensch]

Congrats guys. I've got a couple of Nairn videos you can watch.

 

[VandoHawk]

188cm medium forward with a massive tank, strong leading patterns and good contested marking.

We can make him the Gunston protégée or develop him on the wing like Dempsey/Curtin.

Great value selection at our pick!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Left footer.

 

[kenneje]

Same pick Nat Fyfe was taken with, who was also considered a general forward at the time.

 

[hardway]

Welcome kid and good luck. Can we do a Nairn call similar to the Bruest chant ?

 

[Since 2001]

Welcome Cam, wish you all the success possible! Get all the knowledge possible from gunner and be yourself most importantly. I think we got a 3rd fwd/winger, the opposite weddle!

very interesting, hard to pick it, wasn't he supposed to got at pick 10 with late mail and we got him with pick 20. Really wished we had a few more late picks, 30 and 40 s we had to get schubert, marsh, greeves, there was a small forward you wanted too, perhaps getting greedy.

 

[Ka Norkers]

Strange comparison.
a lot shorter than Gunston.

 

[TazHawk15]

Welcome to the most successful club in VFL/AFL history since we joined the competition.

Go well young man.

 

[I got the outside word]

Could be the fwd/mid we need. How far off top level is he?

I am a fan of that 188cm, mobile forward type with strong hands in modern footy.

He's got pretty much the best medium forward of all time in Uncle Jack to learn from as well which is handy.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I don't get this boards obsession with replacing players. Nairn will play like Nairn. It's like how people talk about replicating the threepeat team. The game has changed so much since then.

 

[Flukey!]

Strange comparison.
a lot shorter than Gunston.

It's literally this much

[SSSSSS]

Nairn's last three games of the season with Central Districts (U18s) when he moved into the midfield.

22, 30, 31 touches.

 

[VandoHawk]

The game that got Nairn fanfare was an 11 disposal, 5-mark, 7 goal game where he was marking everything.

Across the year he averaged 20 disposals, 1.7 goals, 3.8 tackles and had a disposal efficiency of 86% at Unders 18s.

His last three games revealed some untapped potential. He moved into the midfield and had 22, 30, 31 disposals games while still hitting the scoreboard.

Has an October DOB and this was his first year in the state program. That’s a considerable rate of development.

It feels like a high ceiling selection.

Classic Hawthorn pick, with development of a high ceiling in mind.

Glenelg finished second on the ladder. 31 disposals and a goal against them is some day out.

In the interview with Dicko, Nairn mentioned how awesome it was to play more on ball.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Come all you people and gather round.
Let’s welcome a few more South Aussies to the Hawks family!

 

[Randy Campbell]

We did need some Centrals boys.

Conspiracy theorist in me, thinks a handful of SA boys and some picks will get us Butters.

funny how you mention about the tank, we must have had concerns about Greeve's tank, so I think we have gone with Nairn, we must see an upgrade, speed, similar position otherwise mid/fwd, we have a few already butler/macdonald, hopefully few of them stamp themselves on the game.
