Cam McCarthy requesting a trade to WA most likely Fremantle woah big news!

Fremantle finally get one of those key forwards they've been looking for. GWS still have Cameron & Patton & probably 50 other first rounders to cover.

Wonder what GWS will ask for for him?

Really?

I had a sneaking suspicion when GWS drafted him that was going to be the play down the track.

I may have even posted it somewhere...

Yep, here's the proof

It's hard to know what Freo could give them that would be satisfactory. Two first rounders and a quality young player (though Ross doesn't play many of those), I guess.
Some Freo posters have been saying either their first/second round pick along with a Zac Clarke as backup for Mumford. Think it's fair. GWS would then trade that pick though most likely as they need more experienced players, they already have enough young talent coming through & great depth.

Apparently GWS deny that McCarthy has requested a trade back to WA.

Barrett (who announced it) has gone to Twitter saying to be clear McCarthy's manager told him that Cam had requested a trade back to WA & that it is on record...

Don't know who to believe...
And Barrett is a d*ck...

Ahh like how GWS last year denied Boyd was going anywhere. ..

why did he play last week when there was effectively no reason to play him?
The rumour is that he strained his calf at training earlier this week and hasn't trained since, so had nothing to do with playing last week.

Being reported by a number of media outlets now and Eagles fans are getting worried that the club hasn't denied it.

well he'll be the difference unfortunately. No Priddis, just can't see them winning now. He would have gathered 30 touches, 15 contested, 7 clearances and setup a couple of goals too.
As you said, Hawthorn are quite simply the luckiest team of the modern era.
Agree - WCE can't win without him and Masten especially in wet conditions that would suit Priddis.

Hopefully the rumours are just that. Remember when Gaz was a late out for the 2007 prelim, and Johnson wasn't going to play the 2011 GF, and... ??

yeh true.
I don't get the mind games though. Coaches as good as Clarkson would already have plans in place if Priddis were to miss so it's not going to effect the players mindset at all.
If anything, it helps to switch on the opposition just that little bit more.

Priddis in doubt for tonight's QF. Does Hawthorn ever not get a charmed run with opposition injuries?
And apparently Smith passed his fitness test

It is incredibly bad eggs to wish injury upon anyone.... but **** I hope he is no good and a liability tonight and shoots himself in the foot (or knee as it is) for the rest of the finals

They'd wanna be careful if they make a sub before him...
Imagine if they are forced to sub him early.... and then in the cold wet conditions a Cyril hammy goes twang soon after

The Hawk fans would probably complain that it's unfair the AFL only allowed them 1 sub and that they had to play in the cold
