Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Will McCabe!

[The Golden Glenferrie]

He played footy with my kids in under 13s. He was the best player and he knew it but was a bit selfish as the best under 13s players can be.

Yep, played with a few of those.

A bid at pick 30 still would have seen our second rounder disappear no?

A bid at pick 30 in the according to Laura Kane “not compromised draft” was the first pick of round 2. Anyway it’s moot we would have traded it out if not used on weddle then something else, but It’s a trade that’s worked out well.

What an exciting pick up, he's got the skills and the moves to be a great player for us.

I have a really good feeling about McCabe.

Not as physically developed as Weddle was, but I reckon similarly athletically gifted, and will make his mark quite quickly prove to be a steal.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Tall, mobile, quick, purely athletic.

Great hands, superb skills & footy iq.

Gonna be a jet

 

[Tall Tales and True]

Deliberately 'kept my distance' pre-draft ... trying to 'cool my jets'.

But, jeez, the extended highlights and interviews: he looks & sounds a very serious prospect ... all set w the connections already in place.

A bit of size ... watch out!

He comes across as an intelligent and well spoken individual.

He comes across as an intelligent and well spoken individual.

He looks solid.

 

[SSSSSS]

Put him on a wing opposite to Weddle and watch the opposition s**t themselves.

I thought Jiath and Weddle on the wings would look sweet as!

 

[Colloquy]

I thought Jiath and Weddle on the wings would look sweet as!

This would be a great wing combo if it worked

 

[FB19]

This would be a great wing combo if it worked

I like the idea of Amon and Mass down the left hand side (HBF and wing) though - that’s a lot of precision by foot. On the right play CJ and Weddle and cause absolute chaos where no one has any idea what’s going to happen!

Speaks bloody well in all his interviews, I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes our version of Darcy Moore

on that front.

He's a natural in front of the cameras.

Our next Premiership could have 3 father sons in it

Dear

When was the last time we had that many in our team at once.

Kennedy and Hudson 1991?

 

[naysayer]

Yep, played with a few of those.

I played u14s soccer with a kid named George Novas. He was an absolute gun, but was known to his teammates as George "Nopass", due to his noted confidence in his own dribbling skills.

 

[Colloquy]

Kennedy and Hudson 1991?

But never 3 .

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Kennedy and Hudson 1991?

Don’t reckon Kennedy played. Him Dipper missed out.

 

[Roddy]

Don’t reckon Kennedy played. Him Dipper missed out.

Just checked the teams, no Dipper or Kennedy. Our history with ‘sons of guns’ players has been painful. Relative to other sides anyway.

Hopefully that is about to change significantly.

Funny enough our star that made the AFL was the only one we tried passing to. He was the only way we could win games!

He was a good bloke so we were happy with him dominating

And a grandson

Makes sense, his dad's nickname was Hollywood.

 

[Philhawk]

We’ve been killed down back. I wonder if Will could be thrown in the deep end earlier than we’d like?

 

[TylerDurden]

Will have to now. Same with Ryan.
