Josh Addo Carr Contract Discussion

[Spacecub]

Interesting reading in the article posted on LM contract discussion that he snubbed a meeting with Madge the straw that broke the camel's back,we have 1.5 m to go to the market and players have to say how they can help WT,s get to the semis and Also JAC is not on the radar (this could be a smoke screen) however it shows Madge is not going to sign a player to fill a hole and that the big C word comes in to play that strikes fear into most males COMMITMENT to the club and playing group.

MADGE HAS A PLAN.

I could be wrong, but I understand it was his manager that first postponed and then cancelled a meeting this week. That is what the club reacted to and pulled the contract accordingly.

The whole situation was explained by our new chairman last night on MMM...the full interview with Geyer is on Facebook....came across as a very impressive bloke....probably the best we have had for ages

Well initially we said Matterson was going nowhere as well, and if JAC wants out of Melbourne, as usual it maybe all up to his manager

The storm wouldn't bend over like we do.

Certainly a lot better than the one that he replaced.

Lol happy this has been put to bed within 8 pages.

Storm involved though, professionalism.

Can't post it but Storm CEO today stated JAC going nowhere and has committed to seeing out his contract. (Herald sun)

Is that like when a CEO says the coach has the full backing of the board?

Nah it sounds like JAC will see out his contract.

As much as I would love to have him here, it would be nice if players and clubs actually honoured contracts

 

[rustycage]

JAC is the perfect fit for our club. Like Brooks, Nofa, Lawrence and Marshall, he loves the club. Manly had their run a few years back with a similar mentality albeit, amongst that lot, they had a lot more to offer ability-wise.

How many times have we heard that

Bloody oath! He should never have been allowed to leave. If we didn't have such a dope at the helm at the time, who couldn't see JAC's obvious raw talent, he may well have stayed, but he took the opportunity of playing regular first grade with the Storm and let's face it, who wouldn't? Probably the biggest mistake the club has ever made and one which has bitten us on the arse time and time again, but what can ya do? It's all history now, but I would love to see JAC back here again one day. If his desire to be with family in Sydney grows stronger throughout the year, maybe the Storm will consider a release at the end of next season. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Comes from Weidler, but sounds like Joss is already planning an Matterson:

Josh Addo-Carr was made a promise when he signed with the Storm that he liked the sound of: the club was about family first. It's why he is giving serious consideration to walking away from the final two years of his contract there.

Sources who know Addo-Carr well say he is at a point where he wants to put family before everything else. If you think it sounds like the situation that Latrell Mitchell is facing on the family front, you are right. Mitchell is expecting his second child. Addo-Carr has had a change in his personal life.

Without going into the details, Addo-Carr recently got custody of his five-year-old daughter. His partner, who is from Sydney, is pregnant. The pair have no family in Melbourne. His family is from Sydney and he is determined to bring his kids up around family.

The Storm sat down with Addo-Carr and his agent, Chris Orr, in Sydney on Friday.

"They confirmed their position around his contract and their desire for him to stay and extend,'' Orr said. "Josh spoke openly about his feelings on a number of things. He is not due back [at club training] until the middle of December."

Did they talk about Addo-Carr's family situation? "He certainly spoke about his family and feelings around that," Orr said.

The Storm went public to try and shut the story down, using quite emotive language, something we don't associate with the club.

"Where the talk is coming from, I'm not sure, but I can say hand on heart Josh is committed to Storm as much as we're committed to Josh," chief executive Dave Donaghy said.

Addo Carr is not committed to the club. He is committed to his family. He doesn't have a deal in place to move on.

While there are denials, the Tigers could be home once again. The Tigers have said they are not chasing him, because he is contracted to the Storm.

Addo-Carr clearly wants a change. Should he be given that opportunity, Sydney clubs will start looking at how they can fit him in. He is also good friends with Mitchell. It's difficult to know if any club could snare the pair.

1 - Mitchell
2 - JAC
3 - Talau
4 - Mbye
5 - Nofo/Thompson

Obviously unlikely to happen but that’s a darn good backline.

@Masterton said in [Josh Addo Carr wants out at Melbourne](/post/1086299):
"Without going into the details....." then proceeds to go into details. Classic Weidler

 

[old_man_tiger]

Read the quote from the Melbourne CEO very carefully... I'm tipping him to move on but no idea to where

 

[Telltails]

Dare to dream - LM and JAC ? Its like self inflicted torture.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He doesn’t get me buzzing like Mitchell did, idk. He’d be great to have. Quickest player in the game. Daylight second.

I agree, but getting both would be amazing.

 

[ElleryHanley]

You would think the Storm would release him given he has kids involved / custody just awarded.

Their problem is they just released Chambers AND Scott. Two internationals in that back 5 already gone.

Wingers don't have the same impact on a team that a fullback does!

With the storm releasing all these players, & potentially JAC as well, I can see them signing Mitchell.
