Ok some thoughts on tonights Ants match. Pat McCarthy very good. Good size once he fills out. Great reader of the play and clean skills...

Happy Birthday to my 2011 buddy.

Training, 11/03/2011.

Paddy's upper body will be huge come 2015. /no Robert Walls

A goal to goal line of McCarthy, Watson, Kreuzer, Henderson and Mitchell would be massive.

Big Lad..

A serious looking lad, also.
Look forward to see how he goes this year.

I do wish Mitchell was up to it also.

Solid early morning weights circuit with the rehab. Rexy taking it to new extremes

First rd this wk in vfl and I'm being rested. Bit frustrating but. I've played a few practice games.

Good.

I'm really excited to see what we have here. He seems to just be a really smart and skilled player. I can't wait to see a backline with Jamison and Watson at the key positions, a forward line with Henderson and Waite or Mitchell at the key spots, and McCarthy switching between the back and the forward lines. I think he can potentially be really influential playing from a half-back or half-forward flank and using his combination of athletic ability and size to stretch whoever the other team puts on him.

I liked the glimpses I saw in the VFL on Saturday. Good hands and a good mover for a big bloke. Isn't as physically developed as Watson, but may be dual sided and better at ground level after two efforts. Once McCarthy fills out, he could be a swingman after he marked at both ends of the ground.

Jury is out but he did a couple of impressive things on Saturday.

 

[Salaryman]

Jury is still out????

I think I know what you mean........but..

Slightly odd comment for a kid 5 minutes into his AFL career.

needed to impose himself physically on a couple of contests in particular......he didn't shirk it at U18 level, so hopefully that will develop with two pre-seasons in the gym

Liked what I saw on Saturday. Plenty of things to improve on of course but has a lot of promise.

Why doesn't my 2011 buddy look that big on the TV?

McCarthy looks big in isolation, but skinny next to seasoned footballers...Style looks more like a Harry Taylor with his mobility, reading of the play and ability to mark their kicks inside 50...Watson will be the man mountain with Harley's or Lake's build.

Ditto.

Looked quite poised and confident.
We haven't yet seen the best of his hands, but looking forward to watching the Ants this weekend

If in 4-5 years we have Watson at FB and McCarthy at CHB I feel we will have a formidable defense. They compliment eachother in style with one being the more body on body defender relying on strength and spoiling and the other a more athletic type relying on speed and hurting the opposition on the rebound with strong marking and quick ball movement.

I loved what I saw of in at the championships and was stoked to snag him at pick 33, it was a real bonus. His skills are pretty good and he holds himself well in one on one contests and with a few more preseasons in him he is going to be a beast of a man. He has the body that will fill out, you can see the frame already building after his first limited preseason.

Alot to like about the kid and our drafting as late.

Some outstanding photography clearly

Patty's legs are abnormally small. Could end up like Fletcher..

Ants’ win out of the box

Harris offered special mention to Pat McCarthy.

Some giants there.

I was at that function, great young guys, Mitchell is an absolute beast

 

[Silvagnis]

I've heard that Splendini bought a copy of McCarthy's shoes from Rivers.

Love that Paddy was given the name Oscar Judd.

Respect to Davies for wearing a suit.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Is his mum dropping him off to the club next season?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I've heard from a fairly solid source that Adelaide have been in his/his managers ear.

Watch this space.

 

[No1Suspect]

Out of contract at years end?

Let's get back to reality for second.

We'd probably do a player pick for him, as I don't think we'd offer our second. probably McKernan or Knights would be on the table, though McKernan has shown more than McCarthy so far.
