Recommitted Darcy Cameron [Signed until 2029]

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

He is contracted and Pies are not interested in trading him
has to be an offer too good to refuse

Think it will be a offer too good to refuse but one that AFL gift us as opposed to one we create

Pies still dont have to trade him unless the offer is too good for Collingwood to refuse
they are in a premiership window for 2026 and maybe 2027

Only way i see it getting done is the Hawks 1st round and most likely another later pick
Its the exact same situation to the Barrass deal but Cameron is a more important and better player that the Pies need
They can just hold him and if the eagles are offering the big $$$ then they will pay the asking price with picks

Not going to be cheap

 

[VinnieB]

Marshall is worth at least as much as Cameron.

Do you watch football?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Do you watch football?

It’s closer then you are giving credit for. Especially if you go into next season knowing Cameron is 100 percent gone. The certainty of Marshall for the next 4 years is much more then the 1 of Cameron left

 

[THE_GUN]

Marshall is worth at least as much as Cameron.

No way
Cameron is up there with Gawn this year

If what you say was true the eagles would be going after Marshall as he would be easier to extract

 

[stallon]

Do you watch football?

I watch a lot of it.
Sounds a lot like you dont.

Not a single ruckman in the comp works harder than Marshall, hes more of your extra midfielder than an intercept marking ruckman like Cameron.

Marshall shouldve won an AA by now, but as he plays for the saints he gets ignored

This year yes, Cameron has been very good.
Before this year Marshall was so far ahead you wouldnt even mention them in the same conversation

Well you are trying to buy this years Cameron and not last years

 

[stallon]

Marshall hasn't gotten any worse.
Theyre still very comparable in value.

Marshall is far more proven over a few years

 

[VinnieB]

You do realise Cameron was in the AA squad in 2024 and 2nd in the Collingwood B&F.

But you say you watch football?

No chance they are comparable in trade value
Cameron is the rival for Gawn along with witts

If, as you say, Marshall doesn’t take marks around the ground like Cameron (Cameron is one of the highest contested marking players in the game), because he is more of an ‘extra’ midfielder, then why does he average fewer disposals, effective disposals, clearances, hitout wins, hitout to advantage, clearances etc than Cameron?

I’d rather Ned Reeves. At least he can win hitouts and has a high level of hitouts to advantage.

Marshall has had many games with another ruckman alongside him.

You haven't watched Marshall, thats all you had to say

Rubbish. You’re just embarrassing yourself.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Not sure what you’re talking about. Marshall is the same age as Cameron. This is in relation to West Coast giving pick 14 to St Kilda, Marshall to Collingwood and Cameron to West Coast.

Or, the St Kilda guy suggesting a late 1st round + 2nd round from West Coast for Marshall.

And also, the West Coast have plenty of cap space and are in dire need quality players with experience and leadership. You don’t bring that in, you end up like North. Add tot hat they are in dire need of a ruckman to help their young midfielders, so would be crazy to not look at Cameron.

That's stupid. Wce are not going to play finals in the time Cameron has left. What they need to do is draft better than they have and build for the future. Cameron doesn't do that at all.

they really need to get a proper Ruck though
They have 2 terrible players rotating in the Ruck that should be playing VFL / WAFFL
Williams & Flynn are stealing a salary on an AFL list

Of course they do but they need a younger ruck not a 30yo.

 

[THE_GUN]

Of course they do but they need a younger ruck not a 30yo.

Eagles have about 4 young rucks on their list but 3 are delist material with only Archer Reid looking like a good prospect
Cameron would be good for them while Reid develops into that role. Ideally they should find a 25/26 year old Ruck but they want an A grade ruck to help their young mids from getting smashed every week

Marshall's 20th currently for score involvements in the AFL(could push into the top 10 again by the end of today).

Cameron's currently 111th.

So it depends on what your coach values more I guess. Defensive marking around the ground to stop opposition advances, or impact that leads directly to scoring?

Marshall was better than Cameron the past 2 years but because apparently the Collingwood B&F is some 'sacred' trophy in the AFL, Cameron somehow gets more clout for it.

Cameron's marginally better this year but it's not very far apart.

Rubbish

Cameron's last 2 years have been 2nd only to Gawn and has nothing to do with pies B & F
You just need to watch games to see that

I do.

He's good around the ground, decent in the ruck and good at intercept marking.

Doesn't have much impact on forward plays after the initial stoppage but that appears to be more due to coaching and game plan than anything else.

He's a very good ruckman but it's hardly daylight between him and Marshall currently.

Marshall just plays in a shit side with a B-grade midfield. He'd look much better in a top team.

Cameron is a bloody good foward when played there
He played foward earlier in his career when playing WAFFL and has done stints at Sydney and Collingwood when required and playing 2nd ruck at times.

Whilst Rucking his role is more to intercept mark in defence rather than run foward due to their game style and personal
Both Marshall & Cameron available you take Cameron every day of the week and that why he will cost the eagles plenty if he is traded.

But do the eagles really want to trade the currency required for a 3-4 year Ruckman and it will cost min the Hawks pick plus something.

Depends how much of a stink he kicks up being underpaid, as well as if the rumoured others exploring other options, thus enabling him to get paid, I guess.

Collingwood are entitled to hold him to his contract, he signed it after all and if they ask for too much, then I imagine WCE will pass and wait until next year when we can pick him up OOC for minimum chips.

Collingwood being rumoured to be into Neeves, whilst already having Camron, may indicate something is in the works already.

Reeves won't be wanting to move, just to play in the 2s.

Has nothing to do with it as he is contracted

Its the exact same situation to Tom Barrass and the trade would be well and truly pointed out by Leppa
