List Mgmt. Cam McCarthy Requests Trade to WA

[go_the_dockers]

Would you guys be at all open to trading Weller if it meant getting McCarthy?

Obviously fair enough if you don't want to lose him, just trying to gauge your opinions on it as there has been a bit of talk about it on our board.

I think Weller would go around pick 8 in this draft. So I would want at least a top 10 pick and confirmation GWS would take that and change for McCarthy.

C'mon - you know what this thread is referring - someone for our mids to kick to

I actually think Bennell will make Mayne look a whole extra grade better next season, plus he is out of contract so big year coming up.

I'll buy anyone who invents a time machine and brings mid-2000s Pavlich to 2015 a beer.

If you take Pav from there we wouldn't have won many games since...

Oooh baby not bad.

 

[dominguez]

and how many clubs have sent players to the draft in the history of the AFL ?
i always hear this threat of sending a player to the draft but if hes out of contract and states he wants to come home, then its down to 2 clubs i reckon

Nick Stevens and Jade Rawlings spring to mind but it doesn't happen often. It's also rare that the best young player in the competition requests a trade though, Des Headland was pick 1 and requested a trade 4 years later and cost us picks 3, 19 and McPhee (who was very highly regarded in 2002).

Finally we say something! That's about as open as you're going to get from Steve R too.

I'll admit I have a bit of an investment in GWS, but the way they're treating McCarthy is just so sad. I've said it before that even if he was wanting a trade to WCE I'd feel the same way about his treatment (but perhaps not so strongly). I'm surprised the AFL or AFLPA haven't stepped in here yet. Though I guess with the amount of articles appearing on the AFL website about it they're kinda helping. If the AFLPA do step in though, Pav will have to make sure he distances himself from it all because of an obviously strong conflict of interest.

 

[DOCKERZ]

Luke Ball another

 

[Halfbaked]

May as well chuck Jesus, Ablett Snr & Plugger in there while you're at it.

Would look great but there is more chance of me sleeping with Miranda Kerr than the Dockers playing with that forward line.

Happy to be wrong on both counts...

A friend of a friends brother knows Miranda Kerr and for the good of team she is thinking about. I have been told we may need to throw in a debutant poster as well.

 

[yoong]

You know we are getting serious if Steve is involved.

 

[Deathly]

Pick 22 and next years first round for McCarthy Fremantle are going to offer,

Yep i can answer this

Western sydney is massive and it just depends how you look at it. WS has 5 million people to put it into context.

It is divided in the way of income groups and ethnicity. A lot of the ethnic groups whether it be Lebanese or vietnamese or greek tend to group and live in the same suburbs, which when you look at places like bankstown causes some issues.

Also when you head out blacktown way there is a lot of public housing and lower income areas which can add to problems out there.

Then you have homebush (which contrary to many peoples beliefs is actually western sydney) this is where the Olympic precinct is and is right next to posher suburbs such as ryde and north ryde.

I live in the south west in an area called Camden. Its very Australian out my way, still lots of rural farms and countryside,.and my wife gets to the airport in sydney in 35mins early in the morning. I love the area i live in and wouldnt live anywhere else. Great community lifestyle.

Expensive areas of Sydney

Cronulla - overpiced and snobby
Many and northern beaches areas - overpriced and snobby
Closer to sydney - 1million for a run down weatberboard piece of shit in an concrete jungle.

Me in camden - well priced, beautiful scenery and all the emenities i need.

So it depends on how you look at it and where you live, but i love living in western sydney [emoji3]

Unless there was a sudden increase in population or everyone lives in WS, Sydney itself only has just under 5 million people as of mid last year.

Probably a head count...

Footy players today reflect Gen Y'ers attitudes to life. They want it now and they want it all.

(I pass no comment on that, cos that is for a whole other thread).

Well I will. Don't blame the Gen Y's, they're just doing what the system set up by Thatcher, Reagan and Keating-ish told them to do. Be an individual, get the best deal for yourself, community and society are a myth.

I'm still coming back to this thread regularly and hoping to see the page count ballooned by five with woop woops and celebrations.

In the meantime it's fairly masochistic

You and me both buddy, it's been a long couple of weeks. Hopefully we can celebrate come Friday.

Wellers worth would be between 9-15 imo. Don't know any club who will give that up though.

I think Weller would go around pick 8 in this draft. So I would want at least a top 10 pick and confirmation GWS would take that and change for McCarthy.

Not disagreeing with you guys, but surely McCarthy after kicking 35 goals with 2 years on his contract is worth a bit more than Weller who has only played 3 games and is out of contract next season? Where you've both rated Weller seems about right but illustrates that people suggesting pick 22 + next years first rounder is way under market value for McCarthy. I hope the Fremantle Football Club actually has a reasonable deal up its sleeve, seems strange to lure a contracted player home and with a couple of days left in trade week not have a genuine offer on the table.

Nah won't be a problem if we source Pav mid 2000 from a parallel reality (we just have to stop him meeting Pav 2015)

Weller is certainly unders for McCarthy especially considering our needs. Then again I don't rate him like the majority do on here.

 

[Proud SJW]

I think you guys should fold and agree to trade Barlow. He wasn't that good this year and Bennell can replace him?

I'm thinking I could get this thread to 180 pages, just by posting an inappropriate (but extremely apropos) response to you, and everyone else who has suggested this.
Go. Away.

I think you misunderstood the society quote.

The point of that quote is that "society" is made up of individual people and their families, so by expecting "society" to "do something", you're actually taking money away from those people. There's no magical society bank account.
