I'd be happy to Get McCartin for 2 reasons. Firstly he looks like a beast of a player, and secondly, it gives me faith that we've got a good FA midfielder locked in for next year.

I don't mind the sentiment but i'm cautioned towards the idea o anyone locked in. we might have a few lined up and them voicing at least the idea is plausible but as nothing can be signed id remain wary until it was. Appreciate where you're going though as its been certainly suggested we're targeting a couple of likely lads !!

I think we must get McCartin if Petracca goes at number 1. I feel he would provide greater depth for our team in allowing us to send Hogan down back if we need the cover. Not only that, but lets be real here. Dawes and Hogan right now can't stay injury free to save themselves. It's just as beneficial landing a ready to go midfielder through free agency as it is getting a ready to go forward.

You talking about Sam Blease?

Blease did look good when he played in the championships but Zaharakis looked better we should of taken him.

Laverde can take a grab so he has a few more tricks than Blease.

Josh Mahoney told @TheRunHome the Dees have narrowed down their potential draft list to four - Petracca, McCartin, Brayshaw and Wright.

Hmmm...that isn't what I heard. I thought he said we've narrowed it down to 3 or 4. Just said StK will do what is best for them and we will end up with 2 mids or a mid and and a tall but wouldn't be drawn on names...

He definitely said Petrecca, Wright, McCartin and Brayshaw were the four.

i must have dozed off! :mellow: But I don't think he would show our hand so obviously. Reckon he was going with the flow and I wouldn't be surprised if they pull a surprise pick at 3.

DS: Picks 2 and 3 Josh, how many players are you seriously looking at for those positions?

JM: Down to 3 or 4 by now

MA: Brayshaw goes alright Josh

JM: He'd be one of the 3 or 4

Didn't say much on Petracca. Speculates about talls and inside midfielder, or two mids, or two talls.

MA: Paddy McCartin he'd look pretty good
JM: You're trying to get all 4 out of me. McCartin, Petracca, Brayshaw and Wright are around the mark.

I'd say at this stage they know Petracca is going at pick 1. They know they are going for Brayshaw. It will come down to McCartin, Wright and maybe Lever as a smokey that they are keeping under wraps. Really I don't think we learnt anything knew.

Finally some good news after the McCartney debacle.

We won't be taking Lever THANK GOD.

It's interesting that Wright is in that list. He maybe the surprise. Brayshaw,Wright?

There was talk earlier in the year that Wright was our number 1 choice. He's bigger and a better kick than McCartin. He's more versatile. And he'd compliment Dawes and Hogan compared to McCartin who would force Dawes to ruck if that was our 3 prong forward line. I don't think he'd be a surprise at all.

Why would taking McCartin force Dawes to ruck? Would mean Dawes could assume the role he's much more suited to - 3rd tall/flanker.

Dawes isn't good enough 1 on 1 to be one of our long term key forwards but can certainly do a job as 3rd tall.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
