No we wouldn't win anything out of it.

Aww man, you've just lobbed that up for a perfect smash but as a responsible moderator I really shouldn't do what I tell other people off for doing. :(

Zac Clarke plus round one pick for Cam McCarthy. Surely GWS have enough power forwards? After Mumford went down with injury they completely fell apart and urgently needs back up ruckman with experience.
 
As Heath Shaw said,"if you don't want to be apart of this club going forward then clear out"...If there were some one at freo making the same noises,I'd be saying the same thing too.You don't want half-heartedness in any kind of sport.
If your going to qoute the bloke use his exact words.
He said "if you dont want to play finals" not" if you dont want to be part of this club"
 
Nah, it's just a rumour made up by GWS to make him look like a mercenary

"GWS has privately accused McCarthy of trying to replicate Tom Boyd’s departure on a massive financial deal, but he says he is legitimately homesick and is not leaving for money."

Really report was 700k a season.
He is on 350.
He seemed perfectly happy (even signed a 2 year extension) until midway through the season then boom form slump and home sickness rear there head.
Me wonders if this was when freo approached young sunshine.
 
So he is on less? Hmmm makes it even more likely he saw dollars signs, and all of a sudden felt sick for home.
I would expect him to be on a fair way less than that, yes. If there were only 22 players on a list and they were all paid the same it would be about $450,000 so guys on $600,000 balancing out the draftees, but given the salary of the initial contract is determined by the draft placing and so many 1st round picks being on the GWS list there is an unnatural salary cap pressure there.

Are you implying that he got an offer from Freo and then started pretending to be homesick and play poorly so he could be traded at the end of the year?

I would never do such a thing.
Just pointing out he has been happy since he came to the club, even his very experienced manager organised a 2 year extension for him.
Now all of a sudden his form is down and theres a massive deal in front of him and now he is homesick.

Im sure its all coincidence. Which is fine and dandy.
Freo just have to pay through the nose to get him.

So you are implying that, you just don't want to come right out and say it. Got it.
 
Cant get anything by you [emoji57]

I was just making sure because I was wondering how Tayl0r saying 'I won't be surprised if the homesickness was a pregnant girlfriend' is "throwing out crap" and yet implying McCarthy is a deceitful lying tanker is all cool. o_O

At least theres coincidence on my side.

Just to add. Just like Treloar, maybe he was playing bad with the wait of the decision playing on his mind...
 
I understand he is under contract and blah blah but this is his workplace and homesick or not who could begrudge him for exploring the opportunity to earn some serious massive dollars.
Id ask to tear up my 2 year contract if it meant going to another workplace and being offered multiples on current deal.
I think many on here are making it seem like the dollar signs have turned him, well no shit but that doesn't make him not loyal or whatever. Just a young kid looking out for his best interests.
Every club would try to play hardball as would every club try to land a quality player.

This is the same gentleman who wouldn't believe a reporter (Barrett) quoting the players manager but takes a Jay Clarke tweet as gospel without source.

We are all looking for confirmation evidence, I'm not going to be walking back in here expecting an apology if Cam has pictures of a new baby on his suddenly reactivated twitter account.

Oh look its the one with insider knowledge. [emoji57]

And you wont. The move is only because of the money on offer back home.

And for the coincidence to work all you need to do is throw out crap about his character.

The move is only because of the money on offer back home.

Definitive statements like this just make you look desperate. It might be only because of the money, but his manager says he's homesick, Cornes says he's homesick and now Leon Cameron is saying he's homesick, so just maybe he's actually homesick.

How homesick are you if you sign a two year extension? If someone was desperately homesick, that wouldn't happen. The money is the factor here. His manager messed up and now he's trying to make up for it.
