McCabe finally made his AFL debut in R6, scoring 30 in a hard-fought 3-point win over Port Adelaide. That clears his 18 BE and ends four rounds of waiting on the sideline. At $119.9k with under 0.2% ownership, he is the definition of an unearthed cash cow — if he holds his spot. Watch — one game proves the door is open, but job security in a stacked Hawthorn backline needs one more week of confirmation before buying in.
