    Maybe WCE didn't want/need him?

    I'm very lucky to have every Giants game live on Sydney FTA, and while I don't watch every one, what I've seen of McCarthy doesn't really thrill me to bits.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

        Possibly, but when you declare you'll only go to one team in a two team city because you're desperately homesick then doubts arise. Even more so when it's the team you supported as a kid.

            Yeah, fair enough.

            Then there are turds like Mitch Clarke and Tippett who declared their homesickness, and on the cusp of returning to a club in their home city, suddenly jumped at a bigger offer elsewhere.

                Hopefully he plays again. Hopefully it is anywhere but Freo.

                    If a lad wants to return to the west then he also shouldn't limit himself to just one side like McCartney did.

                    I get that Footy isn't the 'be all' for every player and McCartney should take as long as he needs to work out whats important to him.

                                    For less money than he could have gotten elsewhere and after a significant level of service at the Crows.
                                    I think there is a bit of a difference.

                                        Agree about the level of service to The Crows. But he still limited himself to going to one team only. That was more my point.

                                                He cited homesickness and stated he'd leave by trade in 2014 or guaranteed the next year because he wanted to be close to family and didn't like the environment in GWS. He only nominated WBFC. Seems more similar with Cam, than different to me.

                                                    I think he would have played last season for GWS had Griffen not departed us. He only signed his original contract not an extension.
                                                    Seems very different to me but we won't agree on it.
