Cerra was coming if they could get it done. There was much confidence they could. They couldn't. So he isn't.

Thanks for the intel

do you mean we couldn’t agree personal terms with him or compensation with Freo?

I would’ve deeply enjoyed giving Peter Bell the Dodoro treatment. Especially after his nonsense with Hogan. But it would’ve been really unfair for Cerra knowing he might end up in the draft, and it would’ve opened up our list for poaching.

The Hawks going all in on Wingard and forcing out a good young player in Burton was the best case result and hardly guaranteed

We need Casey players.

We had a blessed run with injury this year and are cutting a lot of depth.

Jones, Jetta, Vanders, Lockhart and potentially Melksham. All of them got a bit of game time this year and were ready if needed.

I was happy that all these players were there for depth this year and likewise happy that we are moving them on now.

The weird thing is that with Brayshaw, Harmes, Jordon and Sparrow all being best 22 (or 23) we are actually light on for inside bulls at Casey!

We will also want to draft a young kpf and young ruck at some point soon.

Agree. And allows us to go for inside mids down the order who might be a little bit of smokey. Like Howes and Knevitts who are bigger bodies and have no real exposed form and see what happens. If they dont come on, so be it.

Carlton looms as one potential candidate for Lewis Young as it searches for key position depth. 

The Blues have also been linked to a possible play for West Coast's Jarrod Brander.

With Cerra and Hewitt, it looks like Carlton will get every player changing clubs in the AFL.

The Brown paper visy bags must be working overtime!

all in the same year as they re-sign Cripps and McKay long term and with Walsh due to be signed on again. 

they're either doing something very very dodgey, or noone else is getting more than rookie wage.

This is the most bland week of the season given we just won a flag. Give us some spice.

A decade of rebuilding has meant that I'm programmed to check this forum every day for news at this time of year.

We all know that we are going to do sweet f&$# all this year but are all still here.

I hate being a creature of habit.

How ordinary are the delisted senior players across the competition? I'm glad we won the flag and don't require a lot of pieces to go again. There's not a great deal on the market.

Apologies ‘Chook’, I initially thought this was a joke post in vein of “make no mistake, he was going to play for us if he signed a contract with us, but he didn’t so he won’t (play for us).” Keep the rumours and riddles coming!

Don't know if already mentioned, but Gold Coast are in a world of hurt. Rumour is they have severe salary cap issues, despite their poor list. Look for them to potentially trade out some of this year's picks. Not sure if we can get in on the action, but will be something to keep an eye on.

If that is true then our competition has some problems.

Yep.

Even if we wanted to potentially add a depth player there's literally nothing that sticks out in the current market.

I suppose they are delisted for a reason.

was reading about a salary dump trade GC/North were looking at which would be roughly be as follows;

North Melbourne acquire Daniel Macpherson (paying majority of the wage) and Pick 19

Gold Coast Get either late 3rd of 4th round.

Would the AFL approve this trade?

Something doesn't add up

How were they potentially keen on Treloar last year, and now how a salary cap that's stuffed to the point they're forced to do salary dumps?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
