Can certainly kick a goal, decent lead mark or duck back, covers 50+ metres easily.

Many thanks CakeWalkin@Nicks.

Jamo and Dylan podcast on YouTube was where he said it if anyone wants to have a listen.

If it was on the cheap (like, very very cheap) I'd consider it. He's more of a Mihocek type forward than a genuine tall, but he's got talent. Dunno about his headspace

Thanks for that Moeydw

On very very low salary / Rookie list worth a punt.
He can actually kick 50 metres which a lot of our forwards can't - he is far from the answer but could be an important piece.

 

[jonmacTrag]

Due diligence about both his health issue and headspace needs to be carried out. He certainly has some assets but we still need someone to smash into those forward packs.

 

[manicpie]

Sign him up now as well as 2MP and B.Brown and lets get rid rid of all the dead wood medium forwards and the hack we have now

 

[magpies42]

Rookie list at a stretch, with reduce list numbers even that will tough

 

[jsdsgn]

Never said a more definite NO in my entire existence.

 

[jonmacTrag]

I do love an open mind.

 

[10571z]

Far out people love clogging the list seriously.

Stop trying half asses stop gap fixes...

Already left 2 clubs halfway through seasons, mental health, never shown much...

 

[Doc1763]

No, just no

Who mentioned needing him?
Just reporting the facts.
Pull your head in.

I remember saying this when it was reported we were looking at Jeremy Howe...

I know McCarthy is a different prospect completely and comes with his own set of baggage. If the club were even to think about considering him it would have to be as a supplementary rookie selection after a full summer of being closely monitored.

 

[jmac70]

Is he any good?

 

[gouki88]

Is he any good?

He's shown flashes. One season he kicked 35, the next he kicked 25 (in Freo). There's talent, but other question marks

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I would be open to let him train with us over the summer to gauge his attitude and willingness to work on his game, and to improve. If he looks to be working hard, with a eagerness to really be part of the team and fit into the expectations of the club ethos, then give him a base contract or rookie/Supplementary spot at best.

 

[Big Bryza]

Big talent. Huge question marks off field.

If he came over, trained his butt off then you'd like at him as a pre season rookie list player.

means we will target him - give huge salary etc

its a great idea. ticks a lot of boxes. maintains our ability not to draft taller forwards. continues trend to get brittle people - either mental or physical - into the club. gives Cam a chance to get a game as he has no competition for a spot. probably meets cam's expectations that we will overpay him.

I cant see a loser here

Mark you really have to see the darker side here ROFLMFOAO.

 

[Taylor]

Are there any players contracted for next season that you'd like to offload to Freo for a salary cap dump in exchange for McCarthy/pick #1000?

i remain an optomist. I can't see a loser in moving Cam in. Judging by the $550K we are paying Mason next year, I figure Cam can ask for $700K with extras if we can source them. I think everyone would be happy with an outcome like that...
