Cam McCarthy today:
However, McCarthy revealed to The West Australian that he would love to join the Magpies if possible.
Since being drafted in 2013 by GWS, McCarthy played 70 AFL games and move to the Dockers at the end of 2015 due to homesickness.
“I’ve always said that from day one, I was, like Collingwood,” he said.
When the whole Cam McCarthy “homesickness” ruse was peddled many people were highly sceptical. From memory they claimed it was deep depression and “displacement” (also known as softcockitis) and these subsequent events have only proven this.
Some of these Gen Y and Gen Z youngsters are very entitled.
Anyways we’ve moved on and have better players but it’s good we can see what really happened. Clearly not a full quid.
I'd be happy if he went to Collingwood and foisted himself on Eddie. I'd even chip in for the plane fare.
I thought Bonar looked really good for us on a half back flank before he did his AC joint. Ahern has been disappointing after a promising start.Well, 2020 seems not to have been a good year for anyone related to the Giants - neither our current players nor ex-players seem to have covered themselves in glory. Patton, Smith, Scully, McCarthy, Tomlinson, Marchbank, Ahern, Bonar, Plowman, WHE, Treloar all quite poor or injury prone. (OK, that's cherry-picking; Shiel & Steele have been good.)
Brings back memories of the great Mitch Clark!Soooo homesick for Western Australia that he was willing to sit out a year - now he wants to go to Victoria?
Unsurprised - I don't think he ever really recovered from his back-to-back ACLs.Ahern delisted from NM.

Plowman - he's the whipping boy for at least half your board! I agree that he's much better than the worst posters make out, though.Whilst we haven't exactly picked up diamonds from GWS, Plowman has been a very consistent defender for us. I think he is quite underrated.

I always liked the idea of Tomlinson being a Nick Riewoldt style centre half forward and just running the pants of a defenderTomlinson finished a long way down in the Melbourne B&F after Goodwin tried to play him as a winger most of the year.
He finally saw the light and moved him to key defence where he's a mile better suited.
