Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn - Mabior Chol

[Bedi]

So is Mabior handy with a Kookaburra or willow?

Uganda just qualified for the T20 WC, and they're on the border with South Sudan, so maybe...

won't join the main group at Waverley Park until after Christmas.

Chol was traded from Gold Coast to the Hawks late on deadline day, in a deal that also netted pick No.62 but cost a future second-round pick to secure the key forward.

The 26-year-old started training with Sam Mitchell's squad last week but is confined to a modified program this side of January due to a knee injury he sustained in the Suns' VFL Grand Final win over Werribee in September. “

Hawks spearhead almost fit again, ex-Sun still slowed by knee

Mitch Lewis could return to full training before Christmas after a promising start to pre-season

How serious is the injury? Based on track watchers - not very

 

[threesixpio]

Laziness…FFS …slow down before you have a meltdown. He’s in our colours. Back him in

 

[burger09]

Shame.
We need him fit and flying.
He and Reeves in limited training is disappointing as both need to be working on their biggest weakness- endurance.

I will back Burge and our medical team to devise a preseason program to get the best out of our players for a long and arduous season. This will differ for some players depending on what their bodies can take at this stage of their development and whether they have an injury history like CJ.
I have a lot of confidence in Burge.

Yeah it’s not ideal but it’s fine, if he’s still struggling mid January then it might be a little concerning.

 

[Colloquy]

Like to see Chol play as the second ruck and push forward in the Hale role.

I wonder if he will be with the forwards or the rucks/midfielders over summer once he returns from injury.

Pretty sure I read or heard maybe his manager say he'll be playing as the deeper tall fwd with mitch Lewis pushing up higher.. so I'd say with the fwds

Yeh, I think Lewis is more suited to CHF with Chol at FF. Lewis can get up and down the ground better.

[Mr Lizard]

"I am self-aware of the lack of consistency I have had in the past and that’s something that I really want to improve on,” he told the Herald Sun.
"I want to go out there with every game knowing that I will be in the game for 120 minutes.
That’s something that Sammy and I have been speaking really closely about."

Thanks Lizard

 

[KermitJagger]

It's weird that they're assigning him a price tag like it was a lot to pay. He's earning a bit above league average, wow.

1.8m for 4 years?

That's pretty good value in my eyes.

 

[Flukey!]

Even if Chol is back in April or May, he will have plenty of time to be cherry ripe for finals.

Almost as much as Essendon is paying McKay next year alone

 

[KermitJagger]

Almost as much as Essendon is paying McKay next year alone

And I remember seeing a few journalist takes about how much of a good move it was from a list management point of view.

 

[MrPremiership]

So we're paying $450k per year....

The average player got $406,000 in 2022.......

Million-dollar dozen: Stars cash in, player pay hits new high

A record 12 players were paid at least $1 million for the 2022 season

www.afl.com.au

That's a very good deal for us
