List Mgmt. Cam McCarthy Requests Trade to WA

[Bender571]

Ahm, just a quick question? How's McCarthy at delivering the ball b between the big sticks?

Has kicked 36.18 in the AFL 12.5 in the state 18's carnival and 20.6 in colts.

 

[Banker]

So who is the lucky person who is going to make a video on the 36 goals?

 

[sherrif]

With a few players gone I think we probably could. McPharlin, Crowley, Duffield, Pav? gone would free up a fair whack of cash.

Duff, Crowley and Lukey Mac all on the veterans list last year. That is 3 x 140K not on the salary cap. Some cap space will be freed up, but not as much as you might think at first glance.

 

[Eski3]

That video of his first goal was the only one I could find with about 30 seconds of effort. We'll definitely need more vids if we get this kid.

Sylvia.

I agree not huge savings.

 

[savage08]

Yes please!!

 

[Freo Dr]

Cue the Dennis Cometti comments for next year - Sonny and Sunshine:
Freo forward line is so bright I gotta wear shades...

[UFO Tatsu]

For two first rounders we better win a premiership in the next 5 years otherwise it's may be ugly.

Not worried about this years thin draft but next years one will hurt more

 

[Belnakor]

hypothetical question: If mcarthy refuses to come back from WA what happens. Do they sack him? They can't force him to come back.

 

[Pusswah]

Anyone know who this little boy is?

Michael Clarke?


Obvious ladies' man.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

GWSs dealings with Adam Treloar are quite bizarre, based on his and McCarthy's managers.
Why would you offer an insulting deal to such a quality player?
Treloar wanted to stay, but was pushed out.
McCarthy wanted to go, but they are making a stand.

Maybe they are lost without SOS

I would imagine that he won't be paid and he will not be allowed to play anything but amateur footy. My guess only though

I'd imagine he breaks his contract and sits out for the year. He would then probably have to serve some sort of AFL administered punishment, which being the first of its kind and being a Fremantle player would be a lifetime ban from the AFL. Obviously all subsequent player who do the same will have their penalty capped at 2 weeks wages and limited access to social events run by the AFL.

I would have thought that GWS would sue for breach of contract.

Right now GWS are operating under the assumption that he will at some point realise he has to come home due to his contract. According to Colin Young, McCarthy is not operating under that assumption.

As Colin Young said, there's a lot to play out between now and the end of the trade period.

Buckle up folks. This is going to get bumpy.

they would have to show damages, doubt they would get much.

well they could sack him i guess and then keep him on the list for his contract

In theory it would be something like that. Nathan Buckley did this to Brissy after he was drafted in 1991 but refused to go, played in the SANFL in 1992 (Not sure how that worked because Crows were in the comp by then), brokered a deal to go to Brisbane in 1993 as long he could be traded at the end of that year.

For two first rounders we better win a premiership in the next 5 years otherwise it's may be ugly.

In 2009 our first pick was Morabito
In 2010 our first round pick was Jayden Pitt
In 2011 our first rounder was Tommy Sheridan
In 2012 our first round pick was Josh Simpson

It's probable that McCarthy and Bennell will play more footy over the next 5 years than those 4 combined. And despite 3 of those players having no impact we played in a GF in 2013 and finished top of the ladder this year.

 

[Stuart88]

Just remind GWS what pick we took Fyfe with!

Or perhaps not having those 3, cost us a genuine chance at the flag.

This year we really needed that extra bit of talent and class to get into a GF but lacked it.

people grossly over rate first round picks.

A pick in the teens is a 50% proposition. Thats why *two* picks is roughly equivalent to a relatively known quantity of Mccarthy.

I think the deal will get done.

 

[dimesdimesdimes]

people grossly over rate first round picks.

if we are going into the next two drafts with picks 32,48,64
can expect some spuds to clog up the list for a couple years

we're had more luck with our 2nd pick in most years!
