McCarthy led the entire R9 game in disposals (30), metres gained (692m), and ground ball gets (9) as West Coast lost by 32 — that's dominant defensive output against a top-four team, not consolation stats. Back-to-back 107-108 in genuine contests for a losing side. At $464.6k averaging 84.3, the price hasn't caught his scoring yet. Buy him if you don't own him — this is a best-22 defender posting captain-loop numbers.
