Wants to stay in Melbourne… looks like we have been caught napping again

If I find out Rawlings has lowballed cam and that’s why he wants out - I’ll get a crane to hook up his Snoz

 

[Hazey1977]

Right now, as much he is the most marketable and likeable player on our list - a clear fan favourite - keeping Zurhaar with our list holes at CHF, CHB, Wing, HB and crumbing forward, is almost like going to sizzler, pigging out on cheesecake and trifle and forgetting to eat your main at the all you can eat salad bar.

As much as he is a match-winner, we need to be building a formidable foundation for our rebuild. Only if a win-win trade situation came about where we fill an actual hole in the list should we be entertaining an offer.

Who would be our cheese toast?

No idea if true, but you're running gauntlet with so many people OOC so late in season.

And with so few stars or players with valued experience it’s hard to fathom how this situation has occurred at all…

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I love him but he's literally the only one we can afford to lose that has value. Would always keep him 100% but the second choice is Eddie Ford playing more and what should be a decent pick. He's clearly worth a pick in the mid first round. That's a KP player.

How so? Didn’t his management put talks on hold. You can’t make them sign.

What can you do if he won’t sign?

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

If he wants to stay in Vic I fear it's the scum.

What do you expect when we don't have a list management team.

Agreed you can’t make them sign but I have little faith in our clubs ability to negotiate contracts at the moment.

He's definitely worth THEIR first rounder.

Would make little sense

They are one of the worst Vic sides

He gains nothing by moving to them

It’d be good for his brand. More eyeballs on him.

More importantly we don’t have a coach yet. Who’s signing until they know if we’re getting Alastair Clarkson or Mark Neeld?

 

[King Corey]

This guy hasn't gone near his potential yet. Massive ****up if we lose him and no mid first rounder is going to offset it.

 

[LB2Snake]

My first thoughts are, “Terrific waste of whole of trade EON dealing with the other Dildo, to then come out with 2023 swaps of 2nd rounders“.
Can‘t believe Cam would go to *, won’t believe it. No chance.

 

[Shinboner1]

If Cam ends up leaving I'll be pissed.
Can't stay for the shit years only to leave when things start to pick up.
Will be a big loss if he goes.

 

[benbanjo]

We Shouldn't be losing players like Cam, we have plenty of cash pay the man.
Especially not to a team in Melbourne.

 

[Devington]

Wouldn't blame him if he wanted to leave (unless it came out his contract demands were absurd or something) but I also don't think he would have his mind made up already. Passmore nailed it. Clarko would bring his reputation as well as an expectation of stability. Practically anyone else would have a degree of uncertainty attached, and after churning through several coaching groups and the team sucking like arse for the last few years, I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to go elsewhere.

 

[footy2016]

Why are people trying to play it down? The reason why we are in the position we are in is due to a lack of players 24-28 who can play footy. Cam is turning 25 and is our leading goal kicker, it is a huge loss of talent, experience and most importantly creates the first domino of an exodus. Hopefully new coach can turn his head and get a show of faith. He is also out of contract, we don’t hold the leverage in trade talks.

 

[Souup]

If he wanted to leave to go back to WA, I wouldn't like it but I'd get it.

Wanting to leave AND end up at another Vic club?

Would be hard not to harbour some pretty negative feelings towards him if that were the case.

 

[teethmeetsflesh]

Nothing will bring me greater disappointment than seeing him play in another club's jumper. Arguably our most charismatic and creative player on and off the field. Will be a huge loss if, after everything he has said and got involved with internally, leaves for another Vic club.

 

[Smoocher]

Looks invested in the club and seemingly happy in Melbourne.

If it was to happen, Logue and their first?

Nek Minit we win a game or two and Eagles end up last, and offer us a 3rd rounder or they walk him through to the PSD with the number 1 pick.

I hate it when best 22 players leave.

Coming in off the rookie draft, giving him his shot, working through his development and early inconsistencies, getting past that "confidence" player stuff to being a shows up player. All the way to his peak age and form.

And then they leave.

To another vic club? Well, that would turn it up to 11. Not even the go home reasoning.

They are free to do whatever they want, their life not mine. You better believe ill be hopin whoever they go to never plays finals.

Agreed. But time we made a 6 to 700k offer a year for 5 years. He is close to the best mid sized forward in the game
