A wise and popular choice to captain the Hawks in 2021, McEvoy lived up to the billing and delivered another selfless and consistent season. He played every game, primarily as a marking forward. Unfortunately, having faced an injury blow early in the 2022 season, McEvoy has been limited to just one game this year in the first 14 rounds. Despite the limited time on the field, McEvoy continues to provide an important presence and direction for his young teammates, including the emerging Ned Reeves, who has benefited enormously from McEvoy’s wisdom and knowledge.
