McCarthy giving GWS stress after Dockers put out feelers to him as a replacement for Pav. Latest update on this, a round table meeting with McCarthy's manager, GWS, AFL & AFLPA is being initiated by McCarthy's manager . The proposal is that , due to McCarthy's state of home sickness he McCarthy should be delisted by GWS fortwith. If this occurs McCarthy can be picked up by Dockers as a free agent come draft time this year. If I was GWS CEO my message to McCarthy would be ,front up now or face a Breach of Contract court case.

What possible motivation would GWS have to delist him?
Worst case for them should be he doesn't play this year and they trade for him at the end of the season.

Still two years to run on the contract...................................... make him sweat for the entire term.Tigaman said:
I hope GWS use their contractual powers on this one and end up with a deal at season's end. Some of these player manager's really need to have a look at themselves and less on their own bank accounts. Starting to make media gutter rats look like warm fuzzy teddy bears.

or McCarthy is allowed to walk as a free agent and GWS get nothing for him.

I they do make it as difficult as possible. He is not serving the term of his contract. Should have to wait until he plays two years in my opinion.
The only way that can happen is if they release him from his contract and Freo is the only party who can release him unless there has been breach of contract by GWS.year of the tiger said:
he is contracted for 2016 and 2017. So unless GWS release him from his contract how can he be a delisted free agent before the end of 2017 ?FitenFitenWin said:

OK. But in my quote of your sentence you stated that "Freo was the only party who can release him".
Just nit picking.
On reading the article in the paper here in WA I came to the opinion that a player can be delisted at any time by a club when such circumstances exist eg Medical reasons , Unbecoming Behaviour etc etc. Once delisted that player then becomes a free agent. I do not know all the in & outs of AFL rules in regards to a situation like this but the article did state that his agent was seeking a round table conference on McCarthy's future. Myself I do think McCarthy & his agent are bluffing so GWS have to call them with a breach of contract. Home sickness is not a recognised illness but they will associate that with it as Mental Stress Condition . No doubt McCarthy will end up with the Dockers but at what cost. Dockers offered them their two first picks last year & GWS knocked it back. Nothing worse at a club when some one wants out & is not putting it in full time when they are paid to do so.
