How can we elevate him when he is not an AFL player?
Video of the incident in the link below
I've just watched it and I found it somewhat uncomfortable to watch. Black was just doing the defender thing of walking up to his opponent when McCartin takes the first swing which would have hit Black in the chest but he missed
Black doesn't really retaliate, just walks back up to him and kinda puts the chest into him which is when McCartin takes another swing and connects with the jaw
Watching Black drop to the ground without any real control is just sickening
Surely a minimum of 5/6 weeks, wouldn't be surprised if it was closer to 10 - never want to see that sort of action anywhere

The image is ultimate footy thuggery.McCartin will get off. His future brother in law (wearing a Geelong jumper) will just give evidence and say it was all good - nothing to see. Move on.
You walk up to someone on the street and do that, you're facing assault charges and looking at jail timeThe image is ultimate footy thuggery.
Gone and shodl stay gone.
I hoped he might get another shot at playing for his own good.. but fu** him.
I have zero tolerance for that sh*t.
Career over and go flip burgers.

Whatever the number of weeks it may as we'll be a permanent ban. He ain't playing footy at senior level again.The image is ultimate footy thuggery.

That's a relief, we don't have to listen to Billy sticking up for himNo longer seeing the Brownless sister
McCartin, now playing for Sydney's reserves side after leaving St Kilda at the end of 2019 due to ongoing concussion issues, struck former AFL player and Geelong's current reserves skipper Aaron Black during their clash on Saturday.
The strike was graded as intentional, with severe impact and high contact.
Pictured grappling with Black a significant distance away from the play, McCartin appears to strike the Cats VFL captain in the chest before producing a significant hit to the head moments later.
Black, clearly dazed, staggers back a couple of steps before dropping to his knees. He was cleared of concussion and managed to play out the game, but McCartin is still facing the prospect of a hefty suspension just three games into his comeback.
Sydney coach John Longmire told reporters on Monday he had already spoken to the ex-Saint about the incident.
"It's very disappointing. It's very disappointing for Paddy. He's a quality bloke, it's very unlike him and completely out of character. The main thing is Aaron is OK. That's the main thing out of the equation, it's very out of character for Paddy," Longmire said.
"I've had a brief chat with him. He's very remorseful and completely out of character."
"Sickening" might be a touch too much lol.
But not a great start to the VFL career.
Yeah that was brutal.I think sickening is the right word - throwing a punch at someone, connecting with their jaw & them then going to ground because of the contact is a sickening incident, regardless if its on a football field or out on the street
There's nowhere really to go though. What if you saw a bad car crash, a stabbing, a war etc.I think sickening is the right word - throwing a punch at someone, connecting with their jaw & them then going to ground because of the contact is a sickening incident, regardless if its on a football field or out on the street

His playing against he's ex's brother on the other team too and would've been copping s**t.You can tell his very frustrated about playing VFL footy and took it out on black. He knows his finished from the looks of that act. The act of a frustrated bitter defeated person.
