List Mgmt. Cam McCarthy Requests Trade to WA

[Steinfreo]

Did I miss something, Ibbo didn't play the 2013 GF.

He was injured from round 18. We missed him.

Shit sorry. Was it Suttie that was very bad in the Granny?

He done his shoulder before 2013 GF doogies shoulder.

 

[Allikat]

Yeah our list is still fairly precariously placed right now. You are probably right about Ibbo as well, I guess seeing as we plucked SCOS and Spurr and from what I read somewhere Faulks is actually looking solid at VFL level. We seem to be able to identify backmen ok. Ibbo cant play on Gorillas either.

That'd be me that mentioned Faulks in the VFL. Would've been BoG last game I saw him play. But not super outstanding enough to warrant another look at AFL.

 

[meima]

Don't expect GWs or gold coast to give you something for free they will better each other out who go to top 8 first with their list ,game plan than freo getting a flag.

R8 vs. Adelaide: kicked 4.1 from 9 kicks (6 marks) as the 2nd tall.

R15 vs. St Kilda: kicked 2.1 from 3 kicks (2 marks) as the 2nd tall.
R16 vs. Gold Coast: kicked 1.1 from 4 kicks (2 marks) as the 2nd tall. (Subbed off)
*dropped for 2 weeks*
R19 vs. Essendon: kicked 2.0 from 7 kicks (5 marks) as the 3rd tall. (Subbed on in Q3. Patton returned by now)
R20 vs. Port Adelaide: kicked 1.0 from 4 kicks (1 mark) as the 3rd tall.
R21 vs. Sydney: kicked 0.0 from 1 kick (1 mark) as the 3rd tall. (Subbed on in Q3. Patton injured in this game)
R22 vs. Carlton: kicked 0.0 from 5 kicks (1 mark) as the 2nd tall.
R23 vs. Melbourne: kicked 0.2 from 9 kicks (3 marks) as the 2nd tall.

Certainly a solid year until fatigue took its toll (actually very average after R11), but in most situations he was playing as the 2nd or 3rd tall alongside Jeremy Cameron and Jonathon Patton/James Stewart and a resting ruckman early in the season when Mumford was playing. My concern is that he will struggle as the #1 key forward with only Tabs/Apeness and maybe Pav if we're lucky as support.


Only 7.5 from the last nine games of the season. That's Taberner-esque!

Im not 100% but i think from memory he was the sub a few games later in the year

 

[apuchar]

yeah he was. Some people reckon he was being punished because he made it known he wanted to leave. Not sure how true

 

[Lachy96]

Im seeing josh bootsmas name pop up alot at the moment too. 190cm and 22 yrs old in good form at peel. Any word on freo pickin him up?

 

[scon]

Anyone can pick him up.
He's about 34 kilos.

Nah seen people talkin bout him and it makes sense we are light on key defenders

That went waaaaaaaaay over your head, didn't it?

Serial though, I'd like us to get him cheap if possible.

Yeh well youd just draft him

 

[RickSanchez]

Cheap wasn't the right word, I meant with a late pick or rookie pick.

 

[scon]

Cheap wasn't the right word, I meant with a late pick or rookie pick.

I think cheap is correct.
I liked his dad in Purple and if he's cheap enough(zero) we could give him a go.
WAFL watchers seem to think there's a potential return there.

 

[Okinakashi]

I saw him play a couple of Peel games.

Kid can play. Has a massive hoof on him. Would definitely be worth a look.

 

[Docker Dolph]

Duffield had a shocker on Gunston in 13. Ibbo would've been huge that day for us if he'd played and been in form.

It was Dawson. It was in a write-up the other day.

Duffield actually did a decent job on gunston after he was moved onto him

yeah except for the one daydream in the goalsquare.

 

[mightydockers]

yeah except for the one daydream in the goalsquare.

yep, such a soft effort... where was the dive?

 

[Borderline]

yeah except for the one daydream in the goalsquare.

**** I'm not the only one who still cringes at this? That killed us, 1 minute before 3 Quarter Time and 3 or 4 points down, **** me.

 

[PapaJ]

If got choice I also want to keep Ibbo too bad if you look at gws what they want is intercepted marker at the back to improve their list and give them time to developed another, which we need to do if Johnson still around. Gws got bulldog captain for unproven talented Tom Boyd.

I don't want to be a pesimist, but I really question MJ's ability to see out a season now. It's back issues and that's the sort of thing that just doesn't go away. Despite looking pretty good on the track (by all reports), he was not all himself at the end of the season, and we know last season he finished a complete wreck.

Point being, we just lost Luke, MJ is there, but he's basically going to drop into the McPharlin bracket where he's going to need proper management and will always be a bit of an injury risk. We've got to hold onto Ibbo, AP (who still hasn't signed) and any other tallish back and if anything add to it (see below). Trading an Ibbo for Cam would give us a net gain of not much if anything.

Im seeing josh bootsmas name pop up alot at the moment too. 190cm and 22 yrs old in good form at peel. Any word on freo pickin him up?

I think so, absolutely, but he'll have to nominate for the draft and he'll be up for grabs for anybody who's interested. If he makes it to the lower rounds or the PSD, then we'd be mad not to take him I reckon.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

I think we are due for some more manager-led noise "McCarthy wants to be at freo next year, not GWS"

 

[Okinakashi]

My guess is that things are moving in the right direction.

Once the negotiations start stalling, we'll hear more from the management.

No news is good news in this case.

 

[enoenoeno]

How about Talia from the Bulldogs, seems reasonable and would only require a 2 / 3 pick
