Heh, this is such garbage. Yes the game has gone past those players. Actually, at no point in the games history has that sort of player succeeded.Slow, poor endurance, too short to ruck, ineffective at ground level and unable to pressure.
McCartin is not in the AFL system currently only due to health reasons. Not because “the game has gone past him”. If a qualified person (i.e. neither of us) says his medical issues are behind him, or the risk of them being a factor going forward is small, then he should be in the AFL system again.
I can’t say that is the case, nor can you, but if someone can, then we may as well be the team to see where he can get to considering we are giving up absolutely zilch to find out.
