St Kilda forward Paddy McCartin has suffered yet another concussion, after he was collected by an opponent during the first quarter of Sandringham's clash with Coburg.
McCartin was lying on the ground for 10-15 seconds before he stood up and walked off the field with trainers at the end of the first term. He spent quarter-time undergoing a concussion test, where he failed and sat out the remainder of the game. "He was ruled out for concussion, which isn't good with his history. He'll obviously get assessed during the week but hopefully for Paddy it's nothing, because he was playing very good AFL footy a couple of weeks ago," Sandringham assistant coach Brendan Allen said post-match. The 2016 season saw the 21-year old suffer three concussions, including a broken collarbone towards the end of last year. It is unknown at this stage whether the St Kilda Football Club will allow McCartin to take leave to recover. Melbourne's Angus Brayshaw is currently taking time away from the game to recover from numerous concussions sustained both in the AFL and VFL this season. Sandringham went on to lose to Coburg by 25 points. It is Coburg's first win of the season.
