Adam Cerra


Alex Flood

Recommended Posts

He’s out of contract & yet to make a decision on whether to stay at Freo or come home to Victoria. This is obviously known now but rumour has it that Richmond are keen on him.

Just wondering if you guys think we should look at getting him & if so what would you give in return ?

Brayshaw is the much better player out of that Freo midfield. 

It depends what Cerra'd cost us. I know some of the WA posters like him, but I'm not a big fan. 

That said, we're clearly looking to add outside polished to our midfield (see Merrett), so if Merrett is a no go, maybe we do look at Cerra. He's got a great name.

The one thing I know is the more we keep winning and the deeper we get this year, the more appealing we will be to a player like Cerra who might be assessing his future.

I don't think we can afford anymore high priced players. We need to look at our own. Weideman would be the only one on the trade table ATM but he will be given every chance to prove him self.

Cerra is about the become a star. Another excellent game today/tonight. I’d love him in red and blue.


He’d be a huge target for clubs like Bombers and Kangas. Hawks probably also could offer a first rounder.

Imv at this time MFC are unlikely to have the trade picks or players to get Freo interested.

All I can say is that you have no idea what you're talking about if you're not a fan of Cerra. 

Genuinely no idea. 

You obviously haven't watched enough of him.

Cerra doesn’t really fill a need for us. He is going to be a star, of that I have no doubt - really like the kid (not many flaws). His ball use is something that we could use, but we drafted Bowey and Laurie for that. Cerra would come at a high cost and he plays in a position where we are already very strong. We need to fill our weaknesses at this point. Money better spent elsewhere. I’d perhaps look to move on a big dollar forward in exchange for a proven wingman to compliment Langers.

Too expensive in terms of cash and draft picks I’d imagine.

A third A grade mid is a huge expense. Particularly when we have Gawn, Viney, Harmes, Langdon and most likely Gus on the books.

Unless we find value in trading players out I’d imagine we look towards free agency, even if it’s matching and getting a discount.

Plenty of other holes we need to fill with draft picks or cheaper trade acquisitions.

Great player, who would complement our current midfielders perfectly.  Would need to robe Peter to pay Paul to get him over though.  Clubs will be falling over themselves for a player of his quality and we won’t have the draft currency to compete.  We’d need to give a quality player to get him and free up the cap space.

You've always seemed to like opposition players more than our own mate.

I said Brayshaw was the better player and I'm not a big fan. Doesn't mean I'd say no to Adam, but in terms of doing what they do, Brayshaw has taken his game to another level this year and his level is significantly higher than Cerra's thus far. Doesn't mean it can't turn, but it is what it is at this point.

Seriously why are we discussing the trade/draft period right now, when we're 10-1 at the halfway mark of the 2021 season?

if there has ever been a season where we don't have to start thinking about the trade/draft period mid-year, it's this [censored] one!

I like the idea of building a dynasty and improving every year. That's why I like these sort of threads, even when we're in the position we find ourselves in now.

I hate how we start a thread on every single player that would be good at the dees.

Yeah, it sure is inconvenient to not click on a thread and having to scroll another 0.5cm to the next one.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
