He is contracted next year and he will be 31 in 2027. As much as he deserves good money I wouldn't be desperate to sign him until he is 35.
On the other hand, is only just about to play his 100th game and has improved every single season

I’d actually take a contrarian view myself. He’s been a regular only since 2021 and quality rucks are playing well into their 30’s at the moment. I’d go into 2029 with triggers for 2030 without second guessing the decision.

He’s also every bit a $1m player given he’s currently the number 2 player on our list (and top 3 league wide behind only Xerri and TDK) so if we can get a deal to work for six figures given his output I’ll take that. He really is a more complete Grundy so far in 2025 with not only comparable ball winning numbers to 18-19 Grundy, but the marking prowess that Grundy never had.
 
Rowell bought a house in Kew?

Us talking to the AFL around rules using a 2026 first rounder for Rowell?

I'm glad Cameron is ours and I hope we keep him but I also hope the club is still a little spooked by the Grundy situation, enough that there is a tipping point.

As for the Kew purchase... it's happening gif
Ever heard of an investment property ?

$900k a year for Cameron?
Has everyone forgotten the Grundy situation?
He was a 2x AA when we gave him that deal and entering his prime.

I like cameron but we can’t give him a long term deal at his age.

He’s already contracted to 2026.
I am happy to give him a deal on improved terms (not $900k) until 2027 /28 max.
He’s 30 on July
By then he will be 32/33 come the end of 27/28.

What are “improved terms”? He could very well be an AA & B&F winner this year at this rate (early days)
 
Dropping $2 million is a shrewd investment.
real estate is pretty expensive around here.
My friend's mum the cheapest place she could get was Mernda and that was close to 1M for an average house. Can only imagine closer to the city.
 
Cameron holds his own with TDK who seems to be worth more than a milion per year.
Darcy should be paid what he's worth.
I read in one of the comments that he is on 400k which surely can't be true.

He made a stupid decision to sign that 2yr deal last year when we were into him

He was never going to get games in a midfield that had Rowell, Anderson, Flanders’s and Humphries who occupy the inside mid roles.

He should seek to leave really come seasons end as he’s unlikely to play many games in 2025.

I agree, he should have. Good on him for backing himself, but the writing was on the wall.

On the flipside, that bad decision could work in our favour as Davies sitting in the ressies all year, and with no contract, on the back of fairly limited opportunities for 2 of the 3 years prior, makes it tough for them to argue he's worth much in exchange.
 
He's been mentioned on here the last year or so. Personally, I think 3 players over 193cm in the midfield is too tall. I'd prefer a smaller player with lots of pace. I don't think he'd be in our thinking but that doesn't mean we aren't into him

Yeah it's not exactly a tiny midfield is it?

But when we package Davies up with Rowell (180cm) or Humphrey (185cm), plus Nick it evens out a little.

Ok, I may be clutching at straws a little. But hey, you never know!

He's playing out of his skin.
Deserves a good contract. Just about our best player ATM.
