’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.

[Angry Red Bull]

According to Beatson the back and hip issues he had were viral, not structural, and he looks to have fully overcome them. Given his age he sounds like the classic 'project player'.

Ok I'll bite.........how on earth do you have a VIRAL hip and back complaint????

You've found me out, I have no idea, I was just posting what I'd read in an article.

 

[Opts]

He is apparently quite athletic and has a similar playing style to Nick Riewoldt in his running patterns. His problem is kicking.

Great. Our conversion is poor as it is. Maybe we could convert him into a defender?

 

[Opts]

This will end up one of our best picks in the modern era.

Based on......... You can't leave us hanging.

Apparently the virus causes inflammation of the joints etc

Ah ......rhuematic. Of course

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hope it is out of his system.

 

[barry fu]

Looks a likely lad based on an X outing of sorts against an assortment of others.

McCartin The Messiah.

Strap yourselves in I say.

Is he doing school this year, or living full time in sydney, perhaps doing school by correspondence?

Not finishing year 12, going to study a trade.

 

[McRobie]

Not finishing year 12, going to study a trade.

Seems like he is keen to try and crack the team this year then... Well obviously he is keen but he must think its a realistic chance.

 

[Punts]

The way horse talks is coming across that he is ready to go

Be good to see

Reckon he will get a decent run in JLT but don't expect to see a lot of him this year. Swans are pretty good at not killing off young guys. That said, Heeney, Mills, Papley, Hayward and Florent all got decent (or better!) game time in their first years......

He could be talking up McCartin to put the heat on players like Rohan.

[Kennedy Parker]

Set to make his debut this week. Good on ya Tom!

 

[SwansProudly]

All the best for your debut game Tom

 

[Superstar swan]

Couldnt have picked tougher conditions to debut in

 

[J_Moore]

Time for Tommy to join the likes of Joe di Maggio, Michael Schumacher, Andy Murray, Peyton Manning, Mark Waugh, Sam Burgess, and Chris Scott.

Better than his brother?

 

[grimlock]

Has kicked 2.8 in the NEAFL along with a few shots that didn’t score

 

[The King!]

Exciting news

 

[Tedeski]

He's on a hiding to nothing here.

Perfect for the seniors side!
