Pick 19 - Paddy McCartin
Pictured: "Would have caught it if it was a pie" entry number #148
Paddy McCartin is a former no 1 pick KPF who plays for the Saints. A cursory glance at his silhouette indicates he started playing football for the halftime oranges.
Closer to 23 than age 19, Paddy has been granted 'time' to develop more than anyone else his age/ilk/draft position. This year was going to be different. His breakout year. The only thing Paddy seems to have been braking this year is 'fast', every morning. Twice.
Starting the season in round 2, Paddy played a pretty decent game (2 goals) and was obviously stuffed for ages after that running effort because he backed that up with a horror outing against the Lions with a 5 kick, 1 behind, 1 tackle effort that earned him some immediate VFL time.
Round 9 and he gets another chance (and fails) with an average round 10 where he looked dangerous on the one lead he could sustain. After a bye (luckily, he got to rest again) he has a poor game against the Crows, gets dropped, and then concussion rules him out of the VFL for the rest of the year.
Averaging 1 goal and one tackle per game, he didn't really offer much on offence or defence and the only hope he really provided in 2017 was to the Seaford local dentist:

This, I repeat, is the guy the Saints thought was better than any other youngster in the 2014 national draft. Better than Petracca, De Goey, Marchbank, Wright, Harris Andrews, McLean, Caleb Daniel, etc etc. It's like basically like having the pick of a showroom full of cars, and picking the Prius. Perhaps the Saints would have been better off pulling a Trump and using a pissweak excuse to avoid the draft altogether.
At his current rate of development, he compares pretty poorly with the Saints last no 1 draft pick KPF, Nick Riewoldt. A guy who could run, mark, and buy clothes that actually have less X's on the label than a Taylor Swift songlist. At this rate, Paddy will never reach the dizzying heights of Nick's 2 contested mark, 1 goal Grand Final average.
Apparently he's turned up to this pre-season in shape, something that others players are expected to do but for Paddy it's somehow newsworthy. "Professional athlete goes to work in a state resembling fitness" isn't the catchiest headline of all time, but since Andrew Walker wore a hat at training I guess we've been starved of AFL news.
Fun fact: He was born in Hobart and raised in Geelong, so there's an 87% chance than potential McCartin father/sons will be inbred.
Paddy, Gaps, good luck in 2018. There's a spot in the side if you want it badly enough. Welcome to the Bottom 50.

To be fair, Blaine Boekhurst sounds like Breyton Breytonbach. And now he's free to move to Paris.
He'll be better next season, since Spud gave him the magic rule that he's derived after all his playing and coaching experience.

"Never put your head where your arse will fit" used to be one of the first rules of footy (protect yourself at all times). Now, it's "Leave yourself wide open so you'll get a free kick and also brain damage" (walk into traffic and sue the bus driver).
Got to admit when Paddy smiles with those teeth, he gets the "Brain Damage" look spot on.
Spend a year in Dubai and see how you go.
You end up hating SAFers and you learn that muslims really aren't all that bad.
The only thing Paddy wants badly is a 12 piece bucket from KFC.......

Only thing that I hated was you're in the tropics and you can't get a beer.

I'm starting to sense that Tom Boyd won't make the list.

If you go back, forge some friendly links with the Royal Brunei Navy.
Getting on their social list can be rewarding.

Given the weighting a number 1 draft pick attracts it is hard to believe there are 18 worse than Paddy.
