oh great McCabe is back

[travis2327]

yeah thats just what we need this week....Luke McCabe back in the team! why do we persist with players that constantly make basic skill errors and turnovers on a regular basis? Along with McCabe, Mark Graham is guilty of basic errors far too often. sure they add experience, but can we afford this kind of thing happening week after week?

I hope David Loats gets a game this week cause he shows some promise.

 

[Stucey]

Graham is pretty inconsistent by foot...but you have to admit that he has probably been our best defender this year. Although his disposal is usually pretty suspect....and all the fans hold their breath when he kicks across the goal square (or anywhere for that matter).....he continually gets the job done for us.

graham

i agree stucey that he has been our best defender over the year (and that says something about our defence this year ).
i think rawlings has had a good past couple of months too (apart from last friday night) regaining some of the form we know he can produce.

In a way i am surprised they have kept dicko in for so long, but then again...who would you promote to replace him?

 

[Stucey]

Yeah, Rawlings has been ok.....Dicko is just lucky other players like Joel Smith and Barker are either injured or playing average footy, else he would definately be dropped.

 

[Pessimistic]

McCabe played a good game on Pickett last time out. They may want him to do it again.

Another person who is stuck in 1998

Travis,

You are way too harsh on Luke McCabe

McCabe

Don't you agree that he coughs up the ball far too often Suzi?

i cant believe im about to say this, BUT, i agree with Suzi


McCabe is an integral part of our backline and im glad hes back.
Get your head out of the 90's mate! Others make more costly mistakes more frequently than him.

Nope I don't agree with ya at all.

You are way too harsh on him. Give him a break

McCabe

just calling it as i see it Suzi. If we want to be competitive with the best in the competition we have to improve on our skill. Team's like Brisbane and Port just don't turn over the ball as easily as teams like us.

Oh....Phew! thats much better...my head is back in 2002 now

Sorry i didnt know this was the Luke McCabe fan club.

The whole hawthorn footy club is stuck in 1997 1998 and 1999 respectively at the moment.They added a bit from each year everytime they played this year.Maybe they will cross into the new century and add NOW a bit from 2000 when they were in the finals.

Preferably 2001, we made it t the prelim!

You want to get rid of McCabe due to his shoddy disposal?

then who's going to be our new captain?

more to the point, just where are we going to find 30-odd senior players from?

McCabe's been in our top 5 for possessions per clanger last few seasons (blatantly ripping off DCFC's hard work)

Funnily enough, one of the players above him is TALLIS!

i'd better give Lethal up in Brisbane a call. See if he can supply some players. Maybe the Scott brothers and Vossy prehaps?

That's because the two teams that you have mentioned have gelled together with players also from the 1990's. That's what Hawthorn need to do.

However, it doesn't mean that you can go and bag Luke McCabe. The best thing to do is to encourage Luke to do well.

hehehehe.....nice.....finally the truth comes out!

 

[hawks-chick28]

well i think mccabe is the perfect player to come back in tonight, he has been one of our most consistant players over the last few years and to bag him like u people are is terrible.... north have so many little people that can just run and kick goals (ie. picket, harvey) so he can run with one of those.....

if we don't beat north tonight when they are considerably undermanned well grrrrrrr

go da hawks
