List Mgmt. The Official Cam McCarthy Superultramega Thread - Deal done!

[salim malik]

Roll on Pre season. This will be the best 4 months of watching the boys train in our history.

 

[rodney hoo]

Dangerfield sat out for a year after he was drafted. You know, that bloke who just won the Brownlow, AFLPA MVP and the Coaches' Award?

Gorden Tallis sat out for the Brisbane broncos in the super league war in the early 90ies , he came back and led them to premiereships.
Lloyd has done very well here IMO.

 

[poshman]

Squeeze them a bit more? Have you learned nothing from our old days of trading, it's a big footy gold mine trade.

We now get 4 chances of our players being better than Pick 3. McCarthy could be that himself, let alone pick 7, Pick 34 (Kersten or Hamling maybe) and Lachie Neale II at 71.

Only in the sense that GWS have so much and the pick 3 due to academy selections is very valuable to them. But I am satisfied with the trade. Hoping now for Mayne to accept a deal asap so we can secure another pick and or hill.

 

[Gekko71]

Imagine how Cam's feeling right now.

Lifelong Freo supporter, born on the day of our first game, all he's ever wanted to do is play for the Dockers. And now after sitting out of football for a year, he gets to live his dream.

Welcome aboard mate. Hope you have a long career with us, couldn't be happier for you.

Oh you've got me all sentimental now!

McCarthy strode to Freo's gate,
his face was tired, but bold;
He meekly asked the man of fate
for admission to the fold.

"What have you done" asked Bondy, "to deserve admission here?"
"...I plied my trade for charlatans, for several painful years...".

Freo's gates swung open wide,
as Bondy rang the bell.
"Come in and meet the guys", Bond said:
"...You've seen enough of hell" **​

Welcome home Cam.

happy we got our man, wow longest trade rumour in the history of sports finally put to rest

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I am hoping you are using sarcasm!

Nah, not being sarcastic. It was the most bizarre pre-season training campaign I have witnessed.
The re-hab group did more running than the main squad; I would sit in front of the scoreboard on which Ross positioned himself and watched the assistants handle all the sessions. Sometimes Dave Mundy would take control.
There was no sprint work whatsoever.

 

[Granny Val]

Youre misunderstanding him Val. Theres no vitriol at all in fact its classic tongue in cheek from Keyser.
As for the tanking joke, thats all it is.
But honestly Val, I watched nearly every pre-season training session and nobody did any running above a light jog. ... absolutely amazing.

OK, I stand corrected. I thought Keyser worked for WAToday, but I obviously got that wrong. I can handle a joke, but sometimes I am a bit slow on the uptake.

I can see Basil now " The Fremantle Dockers prove once again to be the masters of trade week ".

 

[freo_leo29]

I appreciate that you took the opportunity to point that out to me.
I dont believe you are correct though.
GWS play six man forward line and that is the case with Bulldogs too.
Plus, our five man structure is nominal; many times they all push up to the centre line and further, leaving zero players in our forward line.
We went with a six man structure in three games this year and won all of them, indeed our best games.

Bulldogs didn't play a 6 man forward line in the finals, smith stringer, Dickson, Boyd were all heading up the ground throughout matches.

Hawks don't play a 6 man forward line, poppy, Cyril, hill all head up the ground throughout the matches.

Sydney don't play a 6 man forward line, loyd, Rohan, buddy, Tippett all play up the ground

I would certainly argue that no team in the league plays a pure 6 man forward line, just wondering what would you consider a 6 man forward line and what would you consider a 5 man forward line?
Is it players not going past the fwd50? Players not going past the centre? Starting inside 50 at the bounce?

I've been posting on here for 10 years and that is hands down the worst insult I've ever been given

We line up with five forward for the bounce and while they move players up the ground they are still on most occasions in advanced to very advanced positions coming back out. Our guys are no where near as advanced of the ball coming back out.

New facility for our training stalwarts to familiarise themselves with too!

But that's all true so I can wear that.

Being included with the likes of crumpet face and mutton chops not so much. It's just downright nasty and the sort of insult I'd expect from a height challenged ex-worst mod ever

 

[free at last]

Finally this saga is over!

Welcome to freo Cam!

We should have a pretty quick and mobile forward line next year....

 

[Eski3]

Imagine how Cam's feeling right now.

Lifelong Freo supporter, born on the day of our first game, all he's ever wanted to do is play for the Dockers. And now after sitting out of football for a year, he gets to live his dream.

Welcome aboard mate. Hope you have a long career with us, couldn't be happier for you.

To quote Andrew McDougall:

"Once he has a pre-season with Freo he's going to be even fitter and he's looking forward to round one. It's just a great day for Cam and his family."

Please No dont resign him

"What are you looking forward to about coming to the Freo Dockers?

I am obviously very excited. It’s sort of a numbing feeling and it hasn’t really sunk in yet. Especially being part of the Dockers, a club I have supported since I was born, and the whole family has."


Holy s**t, I legit got goosebumps reading that. Can't imagine how excited they all must be.

 

[freodog]

All this talk about us ripping off GWS in this trade don't realise yet that we just gifted them 2 top 10 draft picks (1 at pick 3 non-academy player, then another when someone Picks an academy player which they will match).

That being said I am stoked to pick up McCarthy and the additional picks will mean we should get the other deals done!
