Re: Paddy
Because McCartins development hasnt had any hiccups?? FFSmad saint guy wrote:Most teams do not have a number of 22 year olds who get 20+ touches and 1+ goals per games. He awesome in contested situations and his marking is a serious weapon up forward. Don't forget that he had a year of development ruined by an ACL so is still gradually building towards his best where I think he will probably be a 25 disposal, 2 goal per game midfielder/half forward. Meanwhile Paddy is on track to be a 20 goal per year full forward if he manages to stay on the park. It was obvious to anyone who followed the draft that taking McCartin over Pertracca was a massive mistake except for our recruiting staff, apparently.Sainter_Dad wrote:Who would you have taken in what turned out to be a weak draft?ralphsmith wrote: Is there some level of corruption in the draft so duds get ranked higher so stkilda get them?
Petracca, whilst maybe better performed at this stage is the type of player that can be replaced easily - most teams have a number of Petracca type players.
Petracca had a full, uninterrupted year, and he is still "gradually building?" I reckon Paddy would take that

Re: Paddy
What’s game plan got to do with holding marks and chasing.
Trout f***ed us and the club bought it.
I’m still hopeful that the club can off load him for a late round first draft pick at the end of the year but I am not holding my breath.

Get a grip people. The Saints aren't the only club that has rolled the dice on a power forward with the 1st pick.
We don't have Todd Marshall, we have Paddy. Deal with it

No wonder we are fkn mediocre and have only won one flag.
Recruiting Paddy McCartin was a colossal f*ck up.

This is about the club’s continued incompetence. Nothing to do with the player.

Re: Paddy
Cant make it on his current trajectory.
Would need a dramatic shift in coaching, body shape, fitness and attitude to make it.
Of course it is possible.
But the odds aren't looking good under the current coaching regime.

What's a colossal f*ck up is the fact all this whining is just using up free bytes on the internet. Absolute waste. He is at St. Kilda and has been since 2014. Stop your sooking. You sound like a bunch of spoilt, bratty children.
No amount of sooking will change this. Just like Petracca WOULD NOT change where we are at right now. At all. Turn the babyish waterworks off for one minute and have a think about it

Paddy is in a very similar position for his age compared to those two.
None of them are setting the world on fire to be honest.

Doubt she’s that witty given her pedigree.
If you reckon that Paddy has played anywhere near as well as Patton and Boyd then you’re friggin delusional.
