’s rapid rise, the young Sydney Swans forward had played 34 AFL games by the end of his teenage years – and that was despite being the youngest player in the league in his debut 2018 season. The Geelong Falcons product has a brilliant marking ability and presents a tall target inside 50, although coach John Longmire has also used him as a key defender. McCartin is the younger brother of number one 2014 AFL Draft pick Paddy, who played 35 AFL games with St Kilda.

I vaguely remember an interview from a couple of years ago where either Tom or Paddy joked that Charlie was Longmire’s favourite McCartin.

Is just the singlet or does Chucky look the slightest of the three brothers? Not surprising given the other two have spent years on AFL lists and working out in the gym big time. Charlie might fill out if he starts doing the same.

Yes, I've already commented that it has been said a few times over the years that Charlie is Horse's favourite McCartin. Never heard about why Charlie is the favourite though.

Had his best game all year last week.

Except for the first 15 minutes. The rest was excellent. So was Melican. Not much made of their low score.

Got more and more cranky when Tom got on top of him. Yet another ump pleader.

Tom had a bit of a ho-hum year overall I thought. Do others see it the same way? What does he need to work on?

Physical presence and decision making. Melican was better in both areas IMO.

Composure for mine.

He just looked nervous and uncertain at times, which made me nervous and uncertain watching him, and probably made the players around him nervous and uncertain, too.

A strong premiership defence needs a rock-solid pillar. Think Harris Andrews, Darcy Moore (at least the 2023 version lol), Tom Stewart, Steven May, Dylan Grimes... etc etc.

McCartin's gotta get a bit more assured in his ability to be as reliable as those names. He certainly has all of the physical attributes needed to be.

Defence in the reserves.
