but thats the advantage of being the sole decision maker and answerable to no one. he can ignore, or not even get, such advice before he makes these decisions.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Well i think it would be amiss of CC to not seek advice on Foley,s medical condition or any other player for that matter before deciding the best path to take contract wise.All speculation on our part though either way.

I consider nathan one of the superstars of our team.When he went down mid year we missed him,no end.If we were prepared to sit out kelvin moore and wait until he came back to see if he was up to it,then  nathan deserves the same...His ability to come back from this injury does raise some questions,however in the mean time he deserves nothing but our support,something i think the club has done by giving him a 3 year deal

Sorry but a 3yr deal is just 12mnths too much with Foley,s history.Would have been fine with a 2yr deal.

A 3yr deal?Should have been 2 at the most.

Agree crazy. Must be performance based.

It's not. If I were Foley I would tell them to GF if they offered me a performance based deal. Lucky for him he is dealing with morons though

Why? He should accept performance based considering his luck.

Have a look at my last bit again. If Cameron comes to me (Foley, easily in our top 10 players) and says "hey champ, sign this. performance based chief".....I would say 'get stuffed, I will walk to another club in the PSD then.' And Nathan could attempt to do that. Although he and his manager would know he'd probably struggle to pass a medical, so instead they decide to bend Craig Cameron over yet again. Foley and his manager walk away with poo eating grins slapping each other on the arse
Really,So if Foley and his Manager think he,ll struggle to pass a medical with other clubs, then don,t you think CC would have exactly the same info from our MEDICAL staff on Foley,s condition? :whistle

The same medical team that sent Richardson to retirement? And I believe Foley got his contract before he'd even been ruled out for the season. Could be wrong but that's how I remember it.

And al/smokey, you guys are wrong. Cameron has nothing to do with list management, it's not even in his job description. When cripples get great contracts and former Melbourne duds are recruited, we know it has nothing to do with Craig Cameron. He's doing a great job doing whatever it is he does. According to you two he just lets anyone else bar him decide on contracts. Craig Cameron Awesome Show Great Job

No, I am not. Milzy was a top notch recruit and all involved with getting him to Punt Rd should be congratulated, even CC. I was talking about Addam Maric who may still be here next season. Maybe I am missing something ;D

Look, Foley might be end up coming back from injury and finish up playing 80 odd consecutive games before retiring and no one will remember the risky 3 year deal given to him. However, I doubt Foley will be injury free any time soon ;D

Would be nice for once for Foley to be injury free for a change :santa

Foley is the impact mid we need. Dominates the centre clearances with the taggers busy minding Cotch and Lids. An injury free Foley is crucial to our finals aspirations in 2013.

The club that keeps giving.

This is why we need one or more of Conca, Ellis, Helbig, Knights or Arnot to step up quickly to fill the void. I think Conca and/or Knights are capable to do this but ideally we need these guys there to support Foley not to cover for him.
