Actually, that's what I've proposed. Points equivalent of 1st Rounder for McCarthy and late 2nd. The 'couple of rubbish mid round picks' actually translate into a 1st Rounder if GWS use them on a Academy kid... which they would.

Then cough up your 2017 first rounder. GWS won't trade McCarthy for a couple of terrible 3rd tounders. You will get a pick back anyway whether that be a 2nd or a 3rd.

GWS will take what they can get for him. Another club wouldn't touch him in an open draft so this talk about a first rounder is rubbish.

No they won't. They are happy to make him sit on his couch being a mummy's boy for all they care. If they get nothing for him, so be it. It is the principle of players not being allowed to have a sook and get what they want every single time. Pretty simple don't sign long term deals if you are going to want to leave within 12months of doing so! Don't blame GWS, blame Young!

I'm not really into the blame game. IMHO I don't think he'll sit out again. It has never happened before. I'm just raising a hypothetical that's outside of the obvious 'what round's he worth' scenario. I think there are other ways GWS and Freo can get it done where both clubs get something out of it. I've given just one example, but there are others.
 
Dr Reid was the head doctor .
He was either complicit or asleep at the wheel.
Should have been one of the first to walk the plank.
For a club trying to rebuild it's image/reputation and attract young talent , it's a terrible look still having him front and centre.
We certainly don't have him front and centre. Barely see him at the bench and he doesn't do the injury report anymore.
 
If all Freo will offer is a couple of rubbish mid round picks, GWS should just force him to sit out again. Offer something decent or he sits out, simple. Don't expect GWS to bend over with lube for a reaming! Freo's 2017 1st rounder is fair, with GWS giving a selection (maybe this year in the 2nd round back). So McCarthy + late 2nd 2016 for 2017 1st round. Bit unders from GWS but at least it is in the ballpark.
Who said anything about lube. :)
 
Marchbank maybe but not Tomlinson and Steele.
Disagree. Tomlison is a KPP and you offered a top 10 pick last year didn't you? Steel's a very good young mid, these guys are much a more sure things than a random late first round pick. Both easily worth late first rounders at worst.

That's the point they proved this year. They won't do it again. He will be traded.

He signed the extension the year before.

It was first reported on April 2nd, with the Kelly extension in 2014.

Asked for a trade at the end of 2015.

Whats Freo R1? P1? That just will not happen. Perhaps if they add someone else like Pickett etc ..but otherwize I cant see a kid that has been out for 12 months being traded for r1. GWS will feel pressure to look like they are doing the right thing ...and I feel that given a choice its better to move that 250-350 of cap that he is using.
