Player Watch Darcy Cameron

[sideswipe]

I thought it was reported that we requested that but it was part of the post trade shamozzle without it being clear what went down in the end?

It was always a strange concept - Pies in fire sale mode due to a salary cap crisis, but wanting to front end payouts that would go into the salary cap?

The shemozzle was confusion over us being liable for every year of his contract(sounded pretty confused) versus a shorter portion of his deal. Later on, after the trade deadline when the clubs were still working out who was paying what, one of the concessions the Bulldogs gave us was to front load some of our obligations.

To me it makes sense - just from a list management, not to mention peace of mind, standpoint, you'd want to get an opposition player's future payments off your books asap. Do that by backloading current players!

Thanks **** for that.

The length sounds questionable but I suspect it was required to somewhat offset a 4 year offer from West Coast on much bigger coin.

What a steal when we got him
from Sydney 6 years ago

I remember around the time Grundy moved on Bucks on SEN stated that Cameron would break out and everyone would be surprised at just how good he is. Took a bit longer than I expected and just so good.

I remember that too. It was On the Couch.

What a revelation he has been and a total steal at the price we paid for him. He is a gem.

He can tap it to Nick.

 

[Pistol Night]

He can tap it to Nick.

The minute the game is over and both are injury free will be the best part of this game

So our non existent midfield now has two in the state game?
