Player Watch 2023 Father Son player watch - McCabe, Dear and Maginness

Guys, I keep deleting posts referencing this, but can we move away from suggesting or making juvenile jokes about the bloodlines of players.

This is a public forum and parents of players do read here.

That is a man child.

Geesus, Walter is a fair size unit.

 

[HawthornHawk]

Glad to see Walter do well. The higher he climbs the more likely the Suns are to trade their pick

How do we trade suns for Walter, suns and port are going to be the top sides for a while

Probably could have got into nightclubs at 15!

No shame in getting outmarked by a player that has 15 kgs on you. I hope Jed Walter enjoys it while it lasts. You'd imagine he'll attract a bid at pick 2.

Can't see us passing a bid on him at this rate, unless we do a deal with GC.

Yeah, that’s great but they won’t be trading it to us because they’ll be looking for a bunch of picks later in the first round and in the second round to be used to match bids on the other academy plays.

Does the deficit come off picks you trade in as well or only picks you would originally hold? They could trade for our first then trade back in with their future first.

Or if it comes out of all picks. Trade back in with both our future first and theirs. Take 5 or so first rounders this year at the cost of next years draft.

The deficit comes off the next pick you have available at the time of matching, whether that is an original pick or a pick that is traded in. In terms of the next season, it'll do the same, it will be removed from the first pick available when pick positions are locked in at the end of the season.

I've wanted to do a Will McCabe game for a while, and this seemed like a good opportunity even though he did get toweled up early by Jed Walter. He worked back into the game nicely I thought and showed a lot. Recruiters say that they're mostly looking for moments of AFL level quality, and he showed a few of those here.

Thank you, makes sense that’s how it would be done.

Would be the perfect year for suns to go all in. They have the picks to do it. Trade everything into this year once they trade their first out and match a Walter bid.

Thought he competed well given how the Allies were walking the ball out of the middle.

Saw some of his elite traits filter through late in the game as it opened up. That gather at half back at speed is exciting for a bloke his size.

Yep. Looks to be more a second/third tall or CHB. Blanck will be our FB.

 

[Faraway Hawk]

We will have enough Macs on our list to start a Maccas franchise once McCabe is drafted.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

This thread is about Will McCabe, not potential trades involving GCS.

No reason he can’t be our no.1 key defender once his body fills out. Too much flair and natural talent to play as a stay at home lock down defender/full back. Definitely more suited to CHB where he can fly for his marks and use his athleticism to dash off down the field.

It sounds like he plays a little like Darcy Moore. If we could get him to base his game around Moore, and it works, then we are laughing.

Need to get him on the VAFA Shem diet.

Is their a role for just a conditioning coach and can anyone apply? After 4 years in the UK I have the size to match any of these forward gorillas…

 

[bigbuddyboy]

Very smart of young Will to, in the one game, boost Walter’s draft position (pressuring the suns) and also tank his own draft position (taking pressure off us). Very very devious.

 

[Billyc]

To Geelong with Flanders for pick 85

 

[HawthornHawk]

You're giving the Suns way too much credit here

I'm thinking Harris Andrews
