Ozguy that's u speaking, u don't know the man. How much is happiness worth? In NFL players have sat out a season, LeVeon Bell sat out a year in Pittsburgh to get a better contract. Geelong's 900K figure could have been negotiated with availability in mind. A lot depends on JC's mindset and he has stated he's prepared to sit, that's not what Paddy said, he said I want Adelaide to get fair value.
Why would we have submitted the FA request then? I think it was borderline if they could match or not and we tried our luck. It didn't work.
He was still contracted to GWS at the time. They didn't want to trade him so he sat out the year, still contracted though.
People keep saying it be we have. Delidio publically nominated geelong. Richmond wanted too much in a trade so Geelong had to pull out and delidio went to gws instead.

With all the talk about the pick 11 we traded in from GC last year drifting out, I was certain it was guaranteed as pick 11.
London to a brick that if GC still held it it would be, now that we hold it it will be pushed back due to compensation picks.
On Cameron, absolutely love to see him in the hoops very good player. I’ll be livid if we give anything other than cap space for him though, when a Gary Ablett, Buddy Franklin, Tom Lynch etc cost the destination club nothing more.

The discourse was that GWS wouldn't match so they could get a good compensation pick
Yeesh, that didn’t work so well for Cam McCarthy.
He might want to get some better advice than sitting out one of his prime seasons as a player.

I doubt very much any team with cap room doesn’t take him
Crows and Roos have bulk cap room. Even if he told them to go jump I don’t think they would not take him
Then you have the drug cheats with 6 and 7 that can jump up.
You can’t gamble on him getting to you in the draft I wouldn’t think

He'd already lost money under your previous contract, then you low balled him with your new offer when you had the $ to match our offer all along.
Way to keep players.

I think that it was locked in as pick 11 regardless of where GC finished, but once the session was over and other things came into play it was then like any other pick and will move relative to FA compensation picks, academy bids etc
But there's 8 other clubs in Victoria, GWS should look to get the best compensation and trade Cameron to a team with higher draft picks and aren't contending, such as Essendon. It's unbelievable that Cameron has nominated Geelong when there are 8 other clubs in Victoria, he shouldn't have a say where he goes. GWS should choose where he gets traded, if he wants Geelong, Geelong should through 4 draft picks at GWS, this is outrageous.

Would a club be willing to have Cameron running around listlessly for them, like he's done this year with GWS, because his heart is elsewhere?
A player on just under a mill per year, structured in a way that manes it nigh on impossible for other clubs.. but most importantly, if Cameron refuses to entertain other clubs, moving to live in western vic near Geelong, there is ZERO chance another club picks him up. Zero.
No club picks a player on 950k a year who doesn’t want to be there. Name one example. Just one

This is now a poker game, for Geelong to win and they could win big, will depend on how in lock step JC & GFC are. We could be breaking new ground with this one. From what I can gather (+gut feel) Geelong will not be as easily accommodating this time round.

He's given them 9 years of service, and he got a dud deal at the end.
Then they low balled him when, hey presto, they had the money to match our offer all along.
No wonder he wants out.
Agree
I don’t think the club expected them to match, given they offered 150-200k less per year. Can’t blame Geelong, that’s outrageous on GWS’s behalf.
I don’t think Geelong view a 28 yr old free agent worth more than 12. Think we may have a tougher stance than we did with Danger
Alright mate, don't be hypocritical now
It was sarcasm mate, you move along

But you happy that Kelly nominated WCE and only WCE? Wouldn’t even take Freo’s calls.... double standards...
It's sarcasm, go check out some examples of sarcasm. Same thing happened when Dangerfield, Ablett nominated Geelong too
Its called FREE AGENCY... He can choose to go anywhere he wants...
Kelly wasnt a free agent and WCE paid accordingly...
He's a restricted free agent though, GWS have the right to match any offer and retain him.
