’s rapid rise, the young Sydney Swans forward had played 34 AFL games by the end of his teenage years – and that was despite being the youngest player in the league in his debut 2018 season. The Geelong Falcons product has a brilliant marking ability and presents a tall target inside 50, although coach John Longmire has also used him as a key defender. McCartin is the younger brother of number one 2014 AFL Draft pick Paddy, who played 35 AFL games with St Kilda.

His best game. Next step is to do that when Naughton is playing.

 

[CheapCharlie]

McCartin along with Jordan Dawsn are the two re-signing we need to get done

McCartin is going to get better and better and and is a 10 years player for us...ditto Dawson

I thought he signed a two year contract extension?

What!
I'm not keeping up with the news....

 

[RUNVS]

Not bad for the youngest player in the AFL.

 

[S120]

He's turned things around the last 3 weeks. He got a touch-up from Charlie Dixon

and since then has been sensational. Flying for marks without fear and playing a much more physical style in one-on-one contests. Confidence through the roof right now.

Does make me laugh when commentators say he's been playing like this the whole year when that's plainly false to anyone who has watched his whole year - not shittalking him, he's a 21 yo key defender in his first full year playing the role, he should be inconsistent. Just another fun indication of just how little commentators have actually taken notice of us between our first month and the last 3 weeks when we've been flavour of that particular month.

As mentioned in Playing Contract thread thrilled that Tom has re-signed to 2023.

Find someone who hugs you like Hickey does McCartin. To be cradled within Tall Jesus' soft embrace and eased into a gentle slumber.

 

[CheapCharlie]

Nic÷eeeee÷ee

 

[Superstar swan]

Smart deal by mccartin. He knows his value can be anything in two years

 

[SwansProudly]

Tom had a career high 13.5 disposals, 5 marks, 6.4 spoils, 2.5 intercept marks and 5.2 contested possessions on average across his 22 matches this season.

2021 Season Review: Tom McCartin

Despite the challenging year, Tom McCartin had a breakout season as he moved down back for the first time to thrive alongside the Swans defenders.

Christ almighty my heart when I saw this bumped...

Going to Carlton?

 

[Jewelsbon]

Christ almighty my heart when I saw this bumped...

Yep me too

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

This is the guy I am expecting to have a monster breakout year in 2022. He is just a clever footy player. He will be leading our defence for the next 12 years.

yes ... will just keep getting better ... just need to find one big body to help him out

 

[Callipygian]

Yes. His brother.

 

[the hypnotoad]

Yes. His brother.

indeed ... i'm hoping that works out

 

[Nuggetz]

Most important player on our list imo, outside of Tom we have little/no KPD depth (unless Reid/Paddy etc show something).

 

[rustycrate]

I am going to do a Punts. I was wrong on Tom McCartin

taking on the big key forwards. I love the guy as a key defender, but I did not think he could handle the big dogs. They do not come bigger than Hawkins. He shut him down. I was wrong.
Tom did a wonderful job on Hawkins. Maybe having his brother around him gives him more confidence.

Our tall stocks are much better this year and hopefully our back unit is as stingy as ever.
There is quality everywhere there.

I agree Rusty. HB (The Mongrel Punt) observed that with Paddy on board and Cameron running upfield a lot Rampe was able to assist Tom quite a lot as well. Taking nothing away from Tom's work I can see this working out every bit as well as I (and many others) had hoped. This group is just going to get better.

 

[momentbymoment]

Massively relieved that he now has his brother by his side.

I'm relieved as it's going to assist us with keeping him in the long term
