I don't mind playing McCartin as a forward. Gives us a bit of versatility.

He prefers playing there so maybe give it a go for a while. He definitely earned his stripes as a defender when we needed it. Now that Melican has become reasonably reliable, I'm not against experimenting. Seems like shades of 2011 anyway. Seems like this year is a write-off already.
 
It’s an unpopular opinion but I think McCartin was okay as a forward in rounds 1 and 2. He didn’t kick the goals but I thought he led up the wings well and made a good contest. Brisbane and Hawthorn are good defensive sides especially against key forwards.
Above average forward, but is a top 10 key position defender down back.

Just needs to kick better, but he was clunking a few, agree.

But he is an elite defender.
 
I think he is slow on transition and loosing his opponents in stoppages

I thing is slow players need to have a weapon , kicking or just fining the pill etc which I can’t see with him yet
I never understood what the big deal was with him myself. The way people sing his praises here I don't get.

Good chance that we play both of McCartin and Hamling forward on that basis.

Francis - Melican - Rampe - Blakey - Wicks - Roberts - Bice the 7 backs
