So there's a theme running in here that Cam Mac is failing as a tall forward.
That theme usually runs somewhere hand in hand with the 'throw Fyfe forward' rant.
In a mildly spirited defense of Cam Mac, almost as spirited as say... well shoot, it beats putting the washing out, I'd like to point out the following surprising statistical analysis straight out of the guy smiley supercomputer.
Cam
McCarthy
Height
192 cm
Weight
92 kg
Nat
Fyfe
Height
190 cm
Weight
92 kg
Fyfe is 4 years older and Cam was born on April Fools' Day.
Cox is 193cm and 96kg, whereas Tabs is 199cm and 97kg.
So lay off with the McCarthyism, you Trotskyites.
Interesting... Jack Darling is 191cm and 95kg, but he's playing alongside Josh Kennedy who, at 196cm and 102kg offers that elusive, mystical beast known as a 2nd tall forward option.
McCarthy isn't a failure. I think he's quite a good player actually... he might not have Fyfe's tank and sheer ability in contact but he's got a mean as field kick, a good grab and he's a good set shot.
But failure.
