The bit I like about this plan is it will enable him to play football without the pressure of throwing himself at every contest kamikaze style.Impatient Sainter wrote:Not as silly as it sounds - let him settle down back see how he goes?

Re: McCartin to the backline?
Just let the kid play.
Clearly the 'spearhead' thing isn't working.
He has looked ok when he ran up on the flank and wing a few times last year.
Let him go back to being a key fwd when he is older.
No harm letting him just play footy for a while.
Backline might work.

Re: McCartin to the backline?
Sure, add another string to his bow.
But the most important thing now is to get more AFL games into him.

The kid can play, there's no doubt about that. I'd try him back, why not. Just stop playin him at Sandy.

Re: McCartin to the backline?
Totally agree with this - if he is at risk whenever he plays - he may as well be doing it for St Kilda - it killed me that he was injured while playing for Sandy.#gosaintas wrote:spert wrote:Guys, he's not as good as you would like him to be

Re: McCartin to the backline?
Gary who???
Stupid comments by Lyon.
Who is he going to replace Carslile or Brown or does "Lyon to your mate about banging his misses" think we will play Jake, Nathan & Paddy all in the back half?
Paddy doesn't currently have the tank or agility to go with a mobile forward.
Or does Lyon think clubs will just leave him on his own to mark everything that gets kicked in high.
Bring him back through Sandy and when form warrants play him in the role he was drafted as a key forward.
And Lyon should stop talking crap, it will just put more pressure and expectations on the kid.
P1ss off Lyon and worry about the crap ratings of your pathetic radio show.

Re: McCartin to the backline?
Why doesn't McCartin just stay in the forward line .
Someone would have to mind him as he is a good mark and kick .
Modern footy annoys me when I see players get the ball in the back line only to wait because there is on one in the forward line to kick it to .

Re: McCartin to the backline?
teaching him how to playu in the backline would be good. Gehrig became a good player because of his time in the backline.
However currently with zero tank, almost no agility and realistically just passable strength he would get absolutely monstered if he played in the backline. Buddy would wet his pants if McCartin rolled up beside him on the weekend.

Yep...ridiculous idea.
