Recommitted Cam McCarthy requests trade home to WA

[ManWithNoName]

This is starting to get out of hand

 

[doona]

Dockers. Full stop. What will they pay?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

there first wont be enough

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Nope, who can they give up?

 

[Toadvine]

Massive news and great opportunity for Freo to get the forward they've been craving for years.

Trade currency will be an issue...

McCarthy is contracted until 2017

[Marley10]

What is the point of contracts nowadays?

 

[La Dispute]

Would need a first rounder plus a good young player.

GWS hold all the power though given he's contracted.

 

[TerryWallet]

Dockers. Full stop. What will they pay?

They will pay McCarthy Pav's old Pilbara mine.

Then they will give GWS as little but as much as they can. Probably their Picks 1 & 2.

Great get by the Dockers. I knew they would land McCarthy as soon as i heard they had dumped the stopgap Schultz option a few weeks ago.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Zac Clarke and a first rounder?

 

[Lethality]

Win-win trade. Dockers would love him and GWS have too many key forwards.

 

[iBeng]

Huge for Freo, WCE shouldnt even be remotely in for it.

 

[vWestCoast]

Massive news for the Dockers

 

[Faz 2000]

Geez, really? This is out of hand.

 

[Suma Magic]

First rounders in 2015 and 2016?

 

[Komrade_Tiger]

It's been bound to happen, GWS have to whittle their list down over a few years and all those high draft picks that aren't getting games will look elsewhere

 

[scalesofjustice]

What a joke the AFL has become.

The players run the show. They wanted free agency when they dont even need it. Self entitled brats who are killing the very sport they play.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

1st rounder and Weller.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Our 1st round pick will be very close to enough.

A fringe player may also be offered.

If they want Clarke they will need to offer a 3rd round pick.

 

[popin]

Good young player, just what freo need to try win there first flag. Someone photo shop him in purple

 

[MightyPage025]

Zac Dawson

All seriousness which he nominated the Pies.

 

[Giant Pete]

Thankfully GWS stockpiled all those tall forwards.

Boyd gone.

McCarthy gone.

Patton's knees gone.

This is what happens when you steal players from other clubs, give ridiculous draft concessions and create a franchise out of thin air.

No loyalty. No passion.

I will love seeing GWS and GC get torn apart over the coming years.

Steal players? I think we are still doing ok for kpf's... What about you guys?

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Massive news. One of the nost attractive commodities in the AFL. Freo will be struggling to find a fair deal. This has potential to be an unwelcome distraction during Freo's finals campaign actually.

Tough couple of days for Giants supporters.

Yeah because it's only GWS and GC that have players walking out

Pick 18 or so will not be enough by any stretch.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Given he is in contract, no way GWS can accept just Freo's 1st pick this year. Needs at least a second rounder thrown in as well. More likely the 2016 first rounder as well.
