Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

[Gaston]

Probably (based on progression) aim for the Giants game, play him on Cadman.
Otherwise Kangas & Tiges last 2 weeks provide the nice motivational trinkets for the pre season.

 

[Ka Norkers]

he looked great today, surprisingly good, in the same way Calsher Dear did playing his first game for BHH.
quite similar players IMO.
not sure how he slipped to 18 in the draft, I guess its the usual father-son slide.
looks every bit a top 10 draft pick to me.

Great to see him out there, but the over-the-top optimism reminds me of the pre-game thread for the Cats match. Did a couple of good things, but also a few clangers/turnovers, some running into teammates, etc. Still some way off a debut, but some good green shoots.

 

[Ka Norkers]

I'm with you there!!! might get a game round 24 vs North down at Tassie, certainly not before then.

2025 Rising star winner?

[The Chad and I]

He looks as comfortable playing against men as he did in his underage highlights.

Impressive to have this level of composure in his first game for the season.

 

[SSSSSS]

Skinnier than Jarrad “spindle shanks” Grant?

Dear lord

His our 10 year full back

 

[smish]

Such a classy mover

Love the little weave at 0:30

Nothing like seeing a young player take a contested mark at the peak of it height.

Someday I hope to see a player jump up the 15m it would take to mark the ball ‘at its greatest height’ like every moronic commentator suggests.

Perhaps McCabe is our greatest chance!

My god VFL commentary in that game was horrendous

Dear lord [emoji24]

Feel he will more likely be a CHB

What's a "motivational trinket" and where can I get some?

Just play him at Box Hill until he can play 4 full quarters, get in the best players a couple of times and actually earn his AFL debut.

What's wrong with that?

If that's before the end of the year - so be it.

If it's some time in 2025, no big deal.

Stats look fairly low this week. Not unexpected given it’s only his second game back but does anyone know if he played a full game?

Somebody in the BHH thread mentioned maybe injured.

No, they didn't. They asked the question if he was injured. This is how chinese whispers start.

I heard he has ADHD...

I’m 85% sure he does.

Was he on managed minutes on the weekend?
