Paddy McCartin!

[shanegrambeau]

We have to talk about PMC

Why?

Cos he is killing it

yeah, so what

he won the game for Sydney tonight

yeah?

he ran down and punched the ball into F50, for Sydney's last goal, the sealer...paddy's punch made that happen

yeah, so what?

He has taken a beating, and he just keeps going like a bulldozer

Why do you care Shane Grambeau?

because i suggested he be played in defence for St Kilda

[desertsaint]

good to see. he is fast becoming a top level defender. was awesome tonight. gawn played the game of his life and still the dees couldn't get over an injury depleted swans.

[Otiman]

I think his career played out at the Saints the only way it could have.

It was inevitable that his health relating to his concussions would lead him to a decision to cut him from the list.

Then, we could not in good conscience (legal or otherwise) put the bloke at risk again. His time out of the game, plus a 'rebirth' opportunity has put him where he is now.

I don't think a move to defense with us would have changed matters. In hindsight we should have done it. But if we did, we may not have Howard.

[CQ SAINT]

Just absolutely wrapped for him.

[MC Gusto]

I thought Tom did the punch? In any event I’m wrapped for the guy but let’s not over do it..

[magnifisaint]

Just absolutely wrapped for him.

Rapt?

It was Tom McCartin!

[magnifisaint]

Wrapt?

It was Tom McCartin!

Second punch was Tom, key punch was Paddy...
maybe it was second last goal

Last punch was his brother yes

[Trev from the Bush]

Great game by Paddy and I am so pleased for him.

[Impatient Sainter]

Rapt for the kid that he persisted and got going again. I think his health will suffer big time as he gets older, but you only get one life.

[Impatient Sainter]

Repeat apologies.

[CQ SAINT]

Just absolutely wrapped for him.

Rapt?

Possibly. Lol. I wasn't heavily involved in his comeback, so I must be enraptured by his resilience and perseverance.

Don't think I've ever spelled or spelt that word before. Lol. Being an 80's teen I was always rapt though.

[CQ SAINT]

Wrapt?

Come on. Make ya bloody mind up will ya. Lol

[shanegrambeau]

Rapt for the kid that he persisted and got going again. I think his health will suffer big time as he gets older, but you ony get one life.

Now ya put the spook in me.
I guess that is the question.
Anyhow*, have a Winfield!

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Still think he's foolish.

Maybe he can retire this September after winning a premiership.

Possibly by fisting the ball away from Max King in the last minute.

Wouldn't bet against it.

[meher baba]

It was very kind for Sydney to give him a chance and take on the risk relating to him continuing to play. He’s rewarding them for that decision.

I’m still not sure it’s a good idea medically, but there are presumably experts monitoring his situation. But I think he will always be a week-to-week proposition.

We have an excellent backline ATM and we probably wouldn’t have a place for him. And,?by moving to Sydney, He has escaped the pressure he would have always been under if he had remained with us.

It’s a win-win outcome for mine. I don’t think we’ve lost anything by his doing so well.

[cwrcyn]

Happy for Paddy. Concerned for Paddy.

We let him go because he was very unwell and we saw the risks involved in him playing football again. The correct decision was made for Paddy's welfare.

He's only one hit to the head away from it all being over for him. Let's not forget that.

[wally]

I reckon if he was still in Melbourne ,still at StK he would not have recovered with the pressure / expectation of being a no. 1 pick.
Good on him but still does ache that he was a high draft pick that isn’t with us anymore ,no return.

[Yorkeys]

Does it mean a small degree of rehabilitation for Mr Elshaugh ?

If arriving at the MCG from outer space and watching Paddy and Pettracia in the same game, you might wonder is CP the better. Of course over the whole body of their work....

You’re not alone…Leigh Montagna suggested that years ago when Richo was coach, siting Paddy’s excellent field kicking and reading of the play would be assets down back.

[The Fireman]

gee how many players have we let go that end up premiership players ?

[saynta]

Just absolutely wrapped for him.

Plus one

[Sainter_Dad]

gee how many players have we let go that end up premiership players ?

And how many recycled players will be Premiership players when Steele holds the cup up for us??

I think overall we have done better with ins than outs

[B.M]

Better with ins than outs?

Don’t think so!!!!
