Cam Mcarthy wants out of GWS!

Damo just reported on the footy show.

Massive news.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Great news for us. Freo probably aren't too confident about Hogan so they've been going for McCarthy all year.

[stuie 7,374]

Wasn't totally listening, but did they say he wanted to go back to WA?

[dazzledavey36 55,994]

Wasn't totally listening, but did they say he wanted to go back to WA?

Yep for family reasons.

Was a hardcore docker supporter even to this day. Mentioned it on a radio interview earlier on the year.

[Canplay 635]

Great news for us - hope he costs Freo plenty

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

If I was Fremantle I'd go for him over Schultz.

[Hulkamania Brother 52]

Hope this diverts their attention from Hogan, though I doubt he'd leave us tbh lol

[daisycutter 29,921]

forget the great syrian migration for a moment, but the great franchise migration is ramping up

[whatwhat say what 23,651]

Great news for us.

[What 18,810]

GWS were always going to bleed players. That franchise will never work. Even when they start winning regularly they will be lucky to get 15k to home games

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

They have to bleed players due to salary cap pressures

It will. Definitely great news for MFC. West Coast are also stocked up on forwards. This is fantastic.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,329]

He's a walrus.

[Mach5 4,768]

He's one of the best interviews I've heard.

Unintentionally hilarious.

A very different cat.

[Adzman 2,154]

I really hope he eats into Freos cap in the long term. I hope he gets 4 years back loaded, making the hogan move near impossible.

[DistrACTION Jackson 10,429]

I don't see why everyone is so worried.

There is two outcomes for Hogan wanting to go home:

1) We build a strong team and play finals and hopefully challenge for the premiership over a number of years. Hogan stays.

2) The club falls back in a hole like before. Hogan goes.

I'm fairly confident in the way the club is run now so I'm confident he will stay, at least in the short to medium term.

[Pipefitter 2,225]

Cant find the tweet but a few GWS players out with Cam posted a photo calling Damo out as talking garbage again. He hasn't got one right for a while.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Yeah gws and players tweeted he aint going anywhere.

[Demonsone 2,050]

Doesn't say much about the draft system... It appears that bottom clubs are getting early picks & developing them only for top clubs to swoop on them.. understand players may wanna go home etc. & club will be compensated...

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Cant find the tweet but a few GWS players out with Cam posted a photo calling Damo out as talking garbage again. He hasn't got one right for a while.

That's interesting, as Damo claimed he spoke to Cam's manager who confirmed he had asked to be traded back to WA.

Not saying what you've posted above is wrong, just interesting!

[dees189227 12,461]

AS much as people cant stand damo he is very rarely wrong. He was right about brisbane players clashing with each other when brisbane tried to deny it. GWS have put out a tweet saying its wrong but damo put this tweet out this morning. Damian Barrett ‏@barrettdamian 11h

Just so everyone is clear. When asked today, McCarthy's manager said: "He (McCarthy) has requested to be traded back to WA." On the record

Maybe Cam just hadnt bothered to inform GWS he wanted to go and his manager got the news out earlier.

[whatwhat say what 23,651]

murky, murky waters.

his manager is colin young fwiw.

[ILLDieADemon 804]

My conspiracy theory is Freo have hit list of young forwards from WA.

Hogan would be on top but he seems pretty happy staying with us as we are paying him quite well and have developing list around him.

So they go to McCarthy as he is in the shadow of JC and offer him a bit of money to be there star forward.

[P-man 13,367]

Can seriously play this kid.

Go get him Freo. He's not a bad consolation prize.

[Tall Timber 48]

It's a $700,000 offer according to Jon Ralph, and GWS have formally announced they have rejected manager Colin Young's approaches for a trade to take place.

There's your Hogan money it seems.

For now.
