Hey guys, is john mccarthy worth considering?
barring injury, he will most likely play every game at Port which will almost certainly mean he will rise in price.
However, im not sure about him as their are most likely much cheaper rookies that will score the same if not better?

Worth the risk? Yay or nay?

Mr.Craig

My gut feeling says he will average 75-80. I wont be taking him.

Torpedo10

You wouldn't take him if he was averaging 80?

shents

He's very close to making my team, fighting for my last bench spot.

Doyle

He should be rookie price, and if he manages to a have good pre-season and is named in the first game, a maybe.

This isn't the guy that played for collingwood last year is it?

Torpedo10

It is le but plays for Port now ;). I also read an article that said he would slot into the Port Midfield ;).

elephants

Okay cool not sure why he'd be rookie priced though. Played a few games last year did he not?

No, I don't think so ...

According to the fanplanner he is 250k. What'd make you think he'd be at rookie price?

PowerMan

he certainly did, played 8 games...
averaged 78 thru his first 4 games before the sub rule quelled his average in the following 4 (50avg for season)

He's at very long odds for me would rather save the cash for an M5-6 type spot he'd fill in starting team and throw a rookie in there. McCarthy would have to be traded out eventually.

The F.A.R.K.

If at rookie price would be a lock in all teams. Could be a huge smokie but also comes with huge downfalls. Not worth the risk with mid rooks like Macdonald, Stevens, Shiels ect

Boomz

Would rather just pick a rookie.
