Much maligned due to his early selection in the draft, Paddy McCartin has a long way to go to be a prominent key forward at AFL level. At this stage, McCartin has demonstrated that, when on, he has very strong hands.
Unfortunately, he has lacked the other attributes of a good key forward. Far from a big ball winner, it's difficult to see McCartin making an impact in fantasy football in 2019.

Wobbly wheels for McCartin
Playing as much VFL as seniors last year, Paddy McCartin couldn’t bring his excellent form from the lower level up a grade. His season was ended in round 14 by a concussion, after three similar incidents in 2016. The problem with picking McCartin is that he may start brightly in the JLT, and even look like he’s going to finally break out in season four... then one knock to the head could end his career. He is better left a free agent.
