List Mgmt. What to do with McCartin?

[BigPowerForward]

I have no issue with the club trying McCartin in the backline but he cannot be compared with J.McGovern. McGovern is one of the best intercept marks in the competition. His reading of the ball in the air is elite and it gives him a distinct advantage playing as a defender. Paddy, when his hands are working, is an excellent contested mark and a very good field kick but I just can't see him working out as a defender. I believe his best position is inside forward 50 as a hit up target.

Send him off to GCS for one of their firsts...

 

[VDS66]

I said it before him. Someone on here also said it or agreed with me. Most didn't which is fair enough because it makes like we have given up on him.

That was me and then triggering bro copied me.

I appreciate the effort but why not try games played instead of seasons played.


At 35 Games;

McCartin
Games: 35
Goals: 34
Disp Ave: 9.4
10 Wins, 1 Draw, 24 Losses

Riewoldt
Games: 35
Goals: 30
Disp Ave: 13.97
10 Wins, 1 Draw, 24 Losses (Creepy)

Because Roo was 20 and McCartin is 23. Dunno about you but I'd expect more from a 23 year old than a 20 year old.

We could totally put him on Hogan or Cameron and have 30 goals kicked on him in one game.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Coaches are thinking the same way.

Well at least they’re looking at a plan other than Carlisle forward

But it worked so well!

I quite like the idea of McCartin in the back line.

Not sure on the ‘why’ it will never work according to some.

He’s been talked of as a clever player, surely he could develop a decent intercept marking game if he has those smarts and can read the play. It would be much easier having the play in front of you and having the numbers in the contest down back than being the main target up forward.

Definitely worth a crack if the other option is to delist or trade. Could eventually become a decent swing man possibly.

Because he's slower than an elderly snail with back problems.

That and he'll be a sitting duck for a knee in the back of the head.

Didn’t Roo play his first ~20 games as a CHB?

For Hogan it would be more like 5.25

 

[CaptainRisky]

Seriously , if some on here think Paddy can make it as a back man and if our coaches are thinking of trying him back its a last resort . this is the bloke who sometimes needs extended breaks on the bench

 

[SplintWhisky]

Based on his Linkedin, I don't think he will go far...

 

[Red White Black]

Paddy lookin pretty fit to me, maybe 2019 will be his year
