    Same. I think Tom is much better suited to this. Reads the flight of the ball beautifully and can pick off long bombs with ease, but he's often beaten on the lead or wrestling with stronger forwards. Melican is a much more well rounded defender IMO and is better suited to playing on the most...

    Player Watch #29 Joel Hamling

    I have always wanted to play Melican plus another lockdown KPD with McCartin playing the role Paddy did - as an interceptor/third tall. I had hoped that Edwards would fulfill that role but at best that would be "not yet". Francis is not a lockdown. If we still see that Edwards can be that but...

    Player Watch #19 Tom Lynch - 5 Weeks

    The blow knocked Butts to the ground, that in itself suggests it was a forceful blow, add in potential to cause injury and the charge holds up IMO. Whether 1 or 100 other footballers would have gone down means nothing, it's the act that Lynch did that is being judged and he has copped his whack...

    ...that precise blow to 100 fit footballers, not too many serious injuries would be suffered, if any. Who knows if you did it to a Paddy McCartin or other player who is highly susceptible to concussions from relatively minor impact to the head. But in all normal circumstances, I don't believe...

    30+ years of ~20 first round picks and you've selected a sample of 10 - run that one through a normal distribution for me and tell me how representative it is. You can't seriously sit there and tell me every 1R pick ends up as expected on consensus draft boards (even give or take 3-5 spots)...

    ...that is the entirety of the point I'm making. Don't use someone being a 'consensus' pick as evidence it was the 'right' pick. That's how you end up with Paddy McCartin over Christian Petracca, or Jack Billings over Bontempelli, or Tom Boyd over Josh Kelly, etc etc Now who is being defensive?

    It doesn’t matter They are from years ago and precedent doesn’t apply with the AFL tribunal That’s just how it is for better or worse no point trying to trick ourselves into thinking otherwise

    I am not defending what he did. I am trying to put some proper perspective on it. This was worth 5 weeks 4 years ago.... https://www.afl.com.au/news/607629/paddy-s-whack-mccartin-facing-big-ban-for-brutal-strike Sonsie in 2023 got 3 weeks for this in 2023, probably similar sort of impact but...

    Mate you are bringing up an incident from 4 years ago The AFL’s view towards contact with the head has changed dramatically Get with the times and come to grips with it now It will save you a lot of posts

    Player Watch #19 Tom Lynch - 5 Weeks

    In 2021 Paddy McCartin was suspended for 5 weeks for punching a guy in the face full force and concussing him way behind play in the VFL. This would not even be anywhere near that level of punishment if consistent because Lynch barely made any contact with the head and the player was totally...

    No Oppo Supporters General AFL Discussion #13 - Carlton Posters ONLY!

    Good to see the AFL’s concussion panel has taken this seriously and forced Jeremy McGovern into retirement. Paddy McCartin was given advice by the same panel, after his 9th concussion, that he should retire but the decision was ultimately his own. I do wonder how they come to the decisions that...

    I literally said in the quoted comment below from a few days ago that our list is too top heavy and it drops away a little too much after the top tier. So I agree with you that our depth isn't good enough and it's been costly. I just think there is more to our top tier beyond just Heeney, so he...

    Saw him at Williamstown v Geelong a couple of weeks back, my Berner ran up to him, I commented, he made a bit of a smart arse answer and then my dog knocked over his can of drink which was appropriate 🤣🤣🤣

    Coff had 1 year, just one so people could cream themselves. He entered as injury cover, remember the China game for an eg? And looked all out of sea as he did the Hunter thing and tried him on a HB flank to utterly under-whelm Then he had the year of brilliance where he did his ACL. Then I...

    That's some pretty good skating past the fact that: WB traded pick 6 and an AA mid for Tom Boyd, then gave him a massive contract Boyd then played a massive role in that 2016 premiership I'm not defending the decision to draft McCartin over Petracca. But it is a mistake with an explanation...

    We gave up second round picks for injury busts and heaps of their dumb stuff too but Trout was a liability.

    The fact that we never tried Paddy in the backline was another issue entirely. The whole football world (most BF posters too) knew where he should be playing except for us.

    For me it’s more looking at it from the point of view of did we select the wrong talent? In short, no alot of the time we selected a pretty good footballer. We lost a number to injury. Even this McCartin v Petracca debate. His season in Sydney had him rated as an elite CHB. So did we...

    I don't know how to break this to you but… it's more than 10 years 🤫 Also sometimes banging your knob with hammer is all you've got, unless you have a mallet or a sledgehammer on hand. Flat out dissing hammer-knobbing seems a bit harsh is where I'm getting at I guess.

    Paddy was definitely not a natural athlete but he showed a few glimpses in games big contested marks , that made me believe he would have been a good forward eventually had it not been for all the concussion issues but definitely shouldn’t have taken the risk at pick 1.

    ...We know. WE F**CKED UP A WHOLE 10 YEARS AND WE ALL KNOW IT. I'm looking forward to another young bloke that looks like he's got talent playing this week but oh no no. Paddy McCartin over Petracca is the most important thing in mid June 2025. WE F**CKED UP A WHOLE 10 YEARS AND WE ALL KNOW IT.
