Only reading good things about McCartin, I'm really hoping he's a drafting coup! Remember he has only just turned 18. From the website -

AFLX has been widely tipped to favour the smaller players, but draftee Tom McCartin was one of the young Swans to show some exciting signs playing as a key forward, with the Victorian's ability in the air and at ground level particularly impressive.
Rampe has spent time opposed to McCartin over summer and he's quickly become a fan of the tall target.
"I really like the way Tommy has gone about it," he said.
"I don't know if it's the benefits of growing up with older brothers but he looks ready made.
"That's probably a little bit too much pressure to put on him but he looks comfortable with the physicality of it, and I think that's a big tick for someone coming in so young.
"Obviously it's going to be a pretty hard team to break into but we've really liked what we've seen so far."
