McCartin is very important to how Sydney will look over the next couple of seasons. Had Reid been available, McCartin wouldn’t have played at all let alone 15x games in a row at CHF as an 18 yo. Reckon Sydney had him as the starting CHF around 20-21. He’s shown he has what it takes to be a very good player. Those criticising his performances, particularly in the latter part of the season are forgetting this is his first season of senior football. Mellican is very important also. You’d think Sydney will look to have Aliir and Mellican as their key talls, both excellent contested marks with good mobility with Grundy to take the third tall if needed.
Who knows what they’re up to. They need a big midfielder to take the heat off Kennedy and some outside finishing. Gaff and Sheil meet the latter criteria but haven’t heard of too many bigger mids who are seeking a trade.
