This must be heartbreaking for Paddy McCartin and his family. It is so concerning for both his immediate and long-term health and quality of life.
“ST KILDA key forward Paddy McCartin has detailed the extent of his lingering concussion symptoms and the grave concern for his wellbeing in a remarkably raw interview.
The No.1 pick in the 2014 draft sustained the eighth concussion in his AFL career in a JLT Community Series match against the Western Bulldogs in March.
McCartin still struggles to perform day-to-day activities such as going to the supermarket or a café and driving a car, and is unable to physically exert himself beyond being on an exercise bike.”
Following consultation with his doctors and specialists, Paddy McCartin has been placed on St Kilda's long-term injury list
