Ah the old, “you’re not a true Sainter if you don’t support him unquestioningly” routine. Always reliable when seeking to avoid objective analysis of performance.
McCartin’s selection at #1 has been less than underwhelming, to say the least. Looks at this stage like an epic waste of a first pick.
Some supporters just aren't sad sacks. Always will be.
When it comes to assessing performance I reckon being realistic is far more palatable than not....

Re: McCartin
Paddy has been a GREAT No.1 pick. Has generated so much discussion in media and on forums like SS, probably much more entertaining than him averaging 4 goals a game on the field.
I see his contract expires in 2020, Saints should be looking to give him a 3 year extension asap, while he is injured and before his value skyrockets.

The modern game doesn't help how Paddy plays either. I would hate to be a key forward with all the congestion going on each week.
And don't tell me Hipwood gets silver service.
Of Paddy's games, 7 have been consecutive, aside from that he had 3 consecutive games once before. I'll also take a guess that Hipwood got more consecutive reserves footy before regularly playing AFL, Paddy also had spasmodic game time at VFL level.
Don't try and argue that Paddy has had as much development as Hipgood, because in match conditioning particularly, Paddy's had significantly less.
Your use of statistics is always selective or careless.
Lol.
Why has Paddy played fewer games?
Maybe because he is unfit, lacks awareness and lacks agility?
Aren't you the tough bully boy threatening to make everybody eat their words?
Paddy has played fewer games due to numerous concussions, a significant shoulder injury and if memory serves me correct, there has been another injury.
True, his fitness is nowhere near AFL level (although its steadily improving), given that his performances to date are actually remarkable. He shouldn't be getting a touch, given his fitness levels.
Lacks awareness & agility? Are you serious? His Footy IQ is through the roof, how often do you see him get lumbered? The frustrating thing about Membrey's poster howler (was it against Freo or Hawthorn?), is nobody remembers McCartin's kick to set it up, footballing genius, but nah, his got no awareness. He's also agile enough for a bloke his size and he's got a quick mind. Perhap's you could avail us of some examples of his lack of awareness and agility?
"Aren't you the tough bully boy threatening to make everybody eat their words?" Don't be too sure that I won't get that opportunity still. I see you've fully embraced the current trend of playing the victim, good luck with that, good to see you keep up with the times.
On a side note, I was recently perusing the general forum and noticed a post from sometime ago, suggesting you were employed by Sam Dastyari! (a thimbul of inellect in a sea of mindless ambition). If this info was correct then LOL x 1000, if only you knew who I was, it would aggravate you even more.
Just calling you out for being a big mouth who can't back it up.
Big difference.
"Footy IQ is through the roof."
Really?
Sounds like more hollow weasel words and spin that you picked up from the marketing department.

As a Saints supporter, I'm just supporting a young kid that is only 22 and will probably miss the rest of the season again. Good luck Paddy as he needs the support.

Re: McCartin
Only Parkeysainter can critique the club and players because he’s the only true supporter on here.
No one else is allowed to because it’s potting and being negative.
When Parkey does it, it’s constructive criticism.

Re: McCartin
The only reason why Paddy is getting games is because the club is trying to justify its investment in him but he's not AFL standard and definitely not in our best 22.

Legit and well constructed positive criticism is fine, but purposely and mischievously bagging out the Saints kids on an online forum is weak, spineless and gutless, especially when that poster has probably never even pulled on a footy boot themselves or could run a lap of the 50 metre arc. That is the reality of it.

Re: McCartin
still undecided on paddy. i have little doubt in a better coached team he would be showing more, but it is what it is - we can only judge on what we see.
what i see is occassional flashes of real potential, a brilliant field kick here or there, a nice grab, some good positional play. what i see more of is dropped marks, unhonoured leads, and too few possessions and goals. and most of all - missing too many games to injury.

Re: McCartin
Sadly, I'm sure many of us were thinking that way. We all want the best for Paddy, but he is just not one of our best forward options right now. Battle and Marshall have both gone past him this year.silverhalo wrote: ↑Thu 19 Jul 2018 11:45pmThe only reason why Paddy is getting games is because the club is trying to justify its investment in him but he's not AFL standard and definitely not in our best 22. No offence to Paddy but I was relieved when I found out today that he may miss the rest of the year. We will not miss him one iota IMHO...Con Gorozidis wrote: ↑Thu 19 Jul 2018 2:48pmLinton Lodger wrote: ↑Thu 19 Jul 2018 2:42pmActually its 37 less goals. Also, Hipwood, regardless of age, has played 11 more games and has played most of his games consecutively (match conditioning).Con Gorozidis wrote: ↑Thu 19 Jul 2018 1:25pmHe is two years older than Hipwood. 7cm shorter and has 50 less goals.parkeysainter wrote: ↑Fri 13 Jul 2018 12:46pm Paddy is slowly building his game and tank. He is still very young for a big fella and will get better - especially after 50-75 games. Stop comparing him to Riewoldt and other forwards too. Its pointless and unfair.
The modern game doesn't help how Paddy plays either. I would hate to be a key forward with all the congestion going on each week.
And don't tell me Hipwood gets silver service.
Of Paddy's games, 7 have been consecutive, aside from that he had 3 consecutive games once before. I'll also take a guess that Hipwood got more consecutive reserves footy before regularly playing AFL, Paddy also had spasmodic game time at VFL level.
Don't try and argue that Paddy has had as much development as Hipgood, because in match conditioning particularly, Paddy's had significantly less.
Your use of statistics is always selective or careless.
Lol.
Why has Paddy played fewer games?
Maybe because he is unfit, lacks awareness and lacks agility?
Aren't you the tough bully boy threatening to make everybody eat their words?
