Re: Do we start worrying about Paddy McCartin?
Some putrid "opinions" on this thread.
Not a top ten pick - pfft. When asked what it was based on gave Petracca as a name. Where are the other eight how are better.
Really Goddard must be really hopeless. Hasn't even been in the team yet.
Both have had six weeks.
Delist both.
Fair Dinkum, there are some cabbages who support the Saints

What do you base your information on?
The fact he is an ordinary player in the VFL and Petracca was a clear stand out in last year's draft.

The only way you get a top key forward is by the draft and we needed a key forward to cover Riewoldt when he retires.Furphy wrote:magnifisaint wrote:none of these guys have played yetFurphy wrote:I don't think Paddy was a top ten draft pick, but he will improve. Petracca was the obvious choice.

We don't want to go down the path of the dogs who paid $8 million for Boyd as well as trading their captain and a very early draft pick to get him.
Incidently Boyd is in his second year and hardly setting the world on fire!
One year will be our year

judging the poor bloke 5 games into his first season?! WTF?

Re: Do we start worrying about Paddy McCartin?
I'll start worrying about Paddy in 2020 if he isn't yet kicking bags of 3-5 a game. Until then, give yourself an uppercut if you have concerns over a first year key position player not performing!!

Re: Do we start worrying about Paddy McCartin?
Not worried at all about him. Certainly not worried about his footy ability. Blokes who rely on strength and aeriel ability take awhile to develop. Marking the ball is a hell of a lot harder than getting ground balls, and a hell of a lot more valuable.
My only concern re Paddy, and it has been from the day we were looking at drafting him, is his tank, or should I say any restrictions on developing his tank because of his diabetes. I'm sure the club and he have it in hand.
A couple of pre-seasons in the gym and on the track and he'll be right. Once he clunks a few, I reckon he'll be fine. What I have noticed with him is that he gets to the right spots but has dropped the mark or fumbled the ball etc. That's a pure confidence thing. I'd be more worried if he was going to the wrong spots. I'll start being a bit concerned if towards the end of next year he's not breaking into the senior team and making some sort of impact.

Re: Do we start worrying about Paddy McCartin?
We long time supporters remember supercoach Tim Watson's masterstroke of playing Barry Hall in defence for a little while around 1999/2000. Worked a treat,
Kick started his career if I remember correctly.
Surely Richo can play Paddy down back? May be just the thing to get his career started.

Re: Do we start worrying about Paddy McCartin?
Personally, I'm glad we aren't playing him every week and he can ease his way into AFL footy and get another pre season under his belt. Much better than throwing him to the Sharks.
We have so many great kids that when I'm talking footy with mates I often forget about Paddy when I'm reeling off the talent that's played under 30 games and that's in the twos.. Then I think oh yeah and Paddy as well.. Forgot about him, he'll be handy. That's a pretty good sign of the depth we're building.

Two choices.
One. Stop the personal sniping.
Two. Carry it on in the AE. Not in the Footy Forum please.

Re: Do we start worrying about Paddy McCartin?
Paddy has plenty of time on his side and he's under no pressure to perform. It's a development year for him and he should relax and enjoy his footy. No one, except an idiot, expects a lot from him at this early stage.
We've got a potential 10-year key forward in Bruce already - taken with a pick that GWS didn't want - and McCartin may be his eventual partner if he develops. If he doesn't someone ekse will step up. All draft picks are speculative, even No. 1 picks. Everyone knows that.
