Welcome Cam McCarthy - Welcome to Freo!

[Freomaniac]

Like his interview, a year out will make cam mac more hunger.

This is a great day meima.

For a long period of time he suffered at the hands of GWS. He had to live under the Tyranny of GWS. Similar to the conditions of Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

McCarthy is finally free from that prison. McCarthy Spent the last 3 years in the AFLs equivalent of Guantanamo Bay Prison.

Now on This glorious day... It has finally happened I have been dying to say this....



HE IS FREE AT LAST!
HE IS FREE AT LAST!
OH LORD HE IS FREE AT LAST!


Welcome home cam

Need a new thread now that it's official. Welcome Cam McCarthy to Freo.

Traded today from GWS, plus picks 7, 34 & 72 in return for our pick 3.

We've had to wait on this trade for a year, but now he's here, the heir to the Freo forward line. Purple's definitely his colour. The Freo site has a few nice videos & articles for you to look at if you have any doubt of the talent of this kid:

This is UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!!

 

[holy diver]

I hope the year out hasn't softened him up.

Welcome aboard.

 

[Scham]

Sounded like he's a bit short of breathe. Is he an asthmatic or does he need to give up the durries?

I have read that he smokes on bigfooty before.

Must be true then.

I've read that Jack Watts is a female on Bigfooty a few times.....

lol

You think there's any current pics of him with Nic Nat? I didn't think so. Gotta shoehorn him in somehow.

man their obsession with nicnat is borderline weird.

 

[Frank J Moose]

Then why the **** did he sign an extension.

Bryce Gibbs signed a 4 year deal at Carlton and has asked to be traded after one.

You don't realise what you really want to do until you have committed yourself to another path.

 

[beetz]

It's a shame Cam couldn't play alongside Pav for a year.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Can't believe how well this has worked out so far. Cam wouldn't have made any difference to us this season, and we wouldn't have had 2 additional players if GWS had agreed the trade.

Pick 3 could turn out to be a great, but early on this is good work by Lloyd.

 

[PurpleEyes]

That trade is brilliant. More than what I hoped for.

We have locked him in early, got a couple of extra draft picks, pick 7 still gives us access to a quality first rounder and if you do the bidding system points calculations it was equivalent to 2,234 (pick 3) less 1,644 (pick 7), less 542 (pick 34), less 19 (pick 72) = 29 (equal to pick #71).

Well done Freo, Thank you GWS for being fair in 2016 & Welcome aboard Cam!

 

[ilikepotatoes]

So realistic expectations for next season? If he can equal what he provided last year for GWS I'd be happy.

 

[se17enteen]

Cam gets first dibs on the #29 before the draftees. Question is, will he take it?

 

[QS]

Well done. Solid trade. Feel like this is similar to the Dom Sheed trade we did, e.g. good chance Freo has identified a player they want, figure he will be around at pick 7, plus filled a need with McCarthy. Meanwhile, our blokes are playing angry birds...

Pav would've just got in his way.

 

[Dump Truck]

Between him, Ape, Kersten and Tabs I'd want to see 100 goals with one of them kicking 40+ themselves next season.

Hopefully whoever we pick offers a hell of a lot more than Sheed.

Big ask for what is practically a new forward line that hasn't played together. Hope you're right though.

 

[Taylor]

I'm just hoping he can average a goal a game.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Officially stoked this has finally happened. Lloyd and Co are hunkered down in the bunker making shit happen this year... Looks like being our best trade period in, well, ever.

Gee not asking for much..

Go and wash your hands with toothpaste!

Welcome home cam

[Wally Walpamur]

Loved the bit in the Q & A where he said he wanted to earn the respect of the players and he'd be giving his all to get himself fit and play his role. When players play with a point to prove, watch out!
