The Choice: Christian Petracca or Paddy McCartin

McCartin never had a real crack at it and nobody knows how he would have gone with a few injury free seasons under his belt. For someone here to refer to him as "McConcussion" is not only puerile but quite sad.  Nobody wants to see a young footballer injured to that extent.

I recently read where he is hoping to play again in 2021.  Brave decision but I sincerely hope somebody talks him out of it.

    I don’t like people saying Paddy was a spud from the get go, he was a highly rated junior that most clubs would’ve been very keen to have. He got some bad luck with injury thrown in with a bit of bad management from the Saints, much like Watts/NikNat it’s a sliding doors moment. No way to know how he would’ve done elsewhere (though I’d put money on Melbourne stuffing him up as well).

    Help me understand why some people need to keep referencing this, each and every time we play the Saints?

    Will the thread re open next time we play them?

    Help me understand why on earth I felt the need to comment on this? Ridiculous for me to do so.

    That is incorrect & re writing history.

    Travis Johnstone & Jack Watts were pretty much unanimously regarded as the top picks in their year.  Scully & Trengove were unanimous for 1 & 2 in their year & Sylvia & McLean in the top 3 in their year (which was a thin year).

    Toumpas & Morton are the only picks who were not generally regarded as certainties for number they were picked at.

     

    Cook?

     Was Lucas Cook...Ahem Jack Darling says hi. 

    Pretty sure that Cook (pick 12) was the only player in the first 30 picks that year to be delisted without playing a senior game.

    Well done recruiters.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
