McCartin becoming a capable footballer of a sudden is fishy to me.

The potential was always there but he was constantly injured and not always with concussion. And the chronic concussions seems to have cleared up rather quickly...

Why is it fishy?

Why is it fishy?

Goes away from a poo footy club for a few years with no one testing him for things, suddenly he's looking like a dominant defender.

 

[all seeing eye]

McCartin is high risk high reward. He,s one knock away from the end.

 

[RossFC]

Why the shit has someone decided you have to say "health and safety protocols" instead of "they've got covid"?

Taking a page out of the NBA when a player is "in protocol".

 

[Del165198]

Lmao. Softest report I've ever seen

 

[malcheski]

Sydney as a city don’t deserve football. There is a packed crowd to see Bud kick his 1000th and the PA system drowns them out. Such a monumental moment lost on theatre goers (not too dissimilar to Pluggers moment)

is better at delivering the ball inside 50 than most of our team.

 

[Quadzilla]

WEST Coast has been forced into a massive 13 changes and will call on four top-up players for Sunday's match against North Melbourne.

North should win by 100 points

Is Buddy nearly cooked?

Is Buddy nearly cooked?

Probably. Buts he's soaking up so much attention the rest of their players are running rampant

 

[PatientMental]

Stengle looks like the one we remember from the crows tonight.

 

[Del165198]

So glad we have this gambling shit integrated into the broadcast.

Now its bet with mates bs. Connecting together. **** off sportsbet

 

[It Just Is]

McCartin could always play just kept getting concussed in increasingly unusually ways right when he needed some continuity.

He had a bum wrap at St Kilda because they stunk as a club [at the time] and that always gets pinned on someone. As a number 1 draft pick he is the most high profile person at St Kilda since St Nick retired. Paddy Ryder and Max King

are probably the only other 2 recognisable players or coaches in the last 5 years.

Its almost like they have had players given to them for discount rates year after year who are now key pillars in their side

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Who does he replace in their forward line?

Have they realised he's a pretty ordinary ruckman already?

Hayden Mclean or a small. Mclean was drafted as a mature ager 20 year old before the 2019 season started in that supplemental fdraft. Hasn't been setting the world on fire. Less than 20 games.

 

[JimmyBC]

Yea this is Crom tier Stengle tonight.

Why??

Do some research. he's been out of the game for 2 years and went to this place that works with NFL Footballers on concussion issues. He went there in July 2019 when he was still on St Kilda's list and then decided to retire from footy when the season ended. Apparently he has gone back a couple of times.

Maybe they are doing something right - not perfect, but something to work on the anxiety side of concussion.

McCartin takes treatment abroad

Paddy McCartin is travelling to Chicago to visit a neurological rehabilitation facility.

www.saints.com.au

The 23-year-old will spend time at the Neurologic Wellness Institute, a facility that specialises in neurological rehabilitation, including the management of concussion cases.

General Manager of Football Simon Lethlean said the treatment would complement the work done with medical experts in Melbourne. “With Paddy still experiencing some symptoms, he’s taken the opportunity to get away and to visit a Chicago-based clinic that could potentially help minimise those symptoms,”

Josh started skeptical about neurofeedback and its possible benefits, but gave it a chance in hopes to create the best version of himself possible to extend his professional football career. After treatment with neurofeedback. Josh claims he feels better than ever at age 38, and the statistics back up his statement as he has set career numbers on the field late in his career.......

The same gambling that immediately pulled any betting for West Coast - North.

These guys are insidious and do not want anyone to actually win.

Every time blicavs gets tackled he's too unco to dispose of it correctly. Never gets pinged.

Classic clangers hack kick inside 50

 

[Fizzler]

Quietly hoping he can stay under 1000 tonight so I can see him kick the 1000th in Melbourne

This quadruple team defence that Geelong are trying has me quietly optimistic, he's probably gonna have to hit it with snaps or goals on the run.
