The incident
Judged Careless, high impact high contact, two weeks. Interesting that it can be judged high impact but Adelaide medicos didn't need to assess the player.
Swans already confirmed to be challenging the decision, assumedly on the severity of the impact.
...- Feel free to move/merge if there's another thread about this but I couldn't find one.

The Swans have ruled McCartin out for the year as he is still showing concussion symptoms two...
Likely a lot of weeks out of football.

OP originally by the Ziebull;
Genuine swingman can play well either end and still young at 21.
Just clocked up game 50, one to watch if sydney lowball him.
Bloody Hell, we've snagged another big forward from the Saints.
All the best Paddy. Hope you reach your potential.

Thoughts on your club throwing him a life line. For the sake of the discussion he will only nominate if he’s given the all clear. From all reports he’s flying and fitter than ever.
...can't help but feel this kid deserves his own thread.
There was a heap of debate leading up to the 2014 draft about who we should take but McCartin was the right call.
Membrey came in as a DFA, Bruce had yet to play forward & so it was Roo or bust inside 50.
Paddy showed plenty of talent...

McCartin's had 7 concussions in 5 years and has reached a point where his next may end his career...... so what does he do? Deliberately goes back with the flight into a pack where he has 2% chance to...

and
apparently Brown said on channel 7 that it is certainly potentially season ending, perhaps even career threatening.
Now I know McCartin has only played 15 games for the Swans, and I know many people will say this is a...
If you were the List Manager what would you do with McCartin?
1. Would you persevere with him and hope he comes good?
OR
2. Trade him for pick 30 or better?
McCartin and football look at odds right now, he'll be given plenty of time and opportunity because he's a former #1 pick but has had setback after setback, has looked unfit and out of shape at times as well, thoughts?

this is going to be really controversial and i'll leave my opinion out of the initial post, but i am interested in what other supporters think. should we trade mccartin and what would be an acceptable return?
First of all I want to put on the record that I'm a big fan of him. I think he has great hands, is strong in the marking contest and is, for the most part, a very good shot on goal.
There has been a lot of talk and speculation in the media recently about his future. Discussions like these...
A lot of talk on SEN how the Saints should trade him to a team that needs a key forward more us. Now in no way would I be open to trading Paddy, as he's the future of our forward line and has a lot more potential than Bruce. But hypothetically, what would your clubs be willing to give up for his...
McCartin how much more time does he need before we put a line through him as the biggest No 1 draft failure since Jack Watts? He has shown very little to date that would confirm using our 1st draft pick on him was the right move. He is injury prone eg concussion and related diabetes issues. He...

With Rooey going down and im going to assume that Rooey will be rested next week vs west coast in perth and hopefully we will see our new era forward line operating for this season.
It is bad that rooey has gone down yes but the club and...
Put him in cotton wool for the rest of the season.
He is too valuable to burn him out and then there's the far more serious issue of his long term welfare.
interesting foxsports article here:
http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/is-paddy-mccartin-ahead-of-tom-boyd-jon-patton-for-best-no-1-pick-key-forward--round-10-wrap-footy-shorts/news-story/f0ea6d6710f6cc8976c7567daf145a70
so has paddy moved past boyd?
Im going early on this one.
Mitch McGovern vs Paddy McCartin.
Both 2014 draft.
Paddy pick 1
McGovern pick 43
Mitch shown far more in his limited games than Paddy has.
Whos going to end up better and why?
So to go with the Boyd thread I think we should talk about this seldom hyped or discussed number 1 pick. St Kilda caused a slight shock when they chose him ahead of Brayshaw and Petraca.
Because we all know the old adage of 'talls take time', I'll start the bidding with 20 goals in 2016.
...I've looked at Boyd's stats, 18 goals in 16 games and not to mention the salary upto $1million a season will be earning. Paddy McCartin 6 games/3 goals. I don't think return on investment is being shown, maybe I'm being harsh on McCartin being a first year player but not on Tom
I'm seeing...
Is this kid the next Jack Watts went and watched him the other night kid couldn't judge the footy at all or where it was going to land people will say he's young but that's no excuse he wasn't getting he's hands on the pill and mids judging I completely. Next big bust I reckon thoughts?
I know Paddy hasn't played a game as yet but if you were to pick for the future who would you pick considering Clark is a proven goal kicker w/ known mental health issues.
