Crazy move in my opinion. 

Yes Carlton are a bigger club than Freo, but they are in a world of hurt and long-term I would much rather be at Freo and try help them win their first flag than be on a sinking ship. 

Carlton aren't close (in my opinion) - perhaps some bias given I'm in WA. 

Anyways, he's an awesome player and will be a great addition to any club.

    This article indicates we could be another possible home for him. Would have to give up something good to get something good. 

    Cerra is a seriously good player, and still young. He would be a brilliant addtion to our midfield mix

    While Carlton are clearly ahead, Melbourne are the only other viable alternative as a home for Cerra. But the Demons would need to lose a player of note in order to consider Cerra, which is unlikely.

    I can't see us giving up anyone, unless Rivers or Dogga get a sudden attack of homesickness in the next month or two.

    And that sounds unlikely.

    Current 2nd rounder (is that tied to Hawks?) plus future 1st? Not enough?

    Player plus future 1st? Who and what gets it done?

    Brayshaw and second round pick

    Does anyone know if we had an interest in him prior to being drafted by Fremantle? Players like Rick Lever & Tommo were two that eventually found their way 'home' to us.

    Some great young talent there you can build around.

    Their list is fine. Their administration is a shambles. It's a power-hungry boy's club that's eager to make decisions when what they need is stability. 

    They're about to replicate the same mistake they'd just finished making by replacing a young developing coach with an old angry one. It's ludicrous.

    Maintaining stability is a proven recipe for success.

    can't see how we can go close to affording what he's worth in salary cap space nor satisfying freo in terms of trade collateral

    certainly wouldn't want to lose the likes of jackson or rivers to bring him to the demons

    Rick? Lever... is that his nickname?

    Anyway we should have a red hot crack at Cerra just to put the price up.

    In days gone by, there'd be a post or three that would suggest three of our spuds for Cerra + a decent pick. 

    I think we've made it.

    Wouldn't break the bank for him. While he probably offers the outside ability we need, we have 1 too many midfielders currently + no picks and a tight cap.

    I dont think anyone would be interested in moving away from the Dees at the moment. Cerra would be a great acquisition and there are number of player + trades that will get it done.

    The one that is most logical would be one of Brayshaw / Rivers / Dogga given they are all WA boys. Brayshaw's immediate family is here (as is his GF and her family) so doubtful he would want to pick up and move. Rivers and Dogga however, may look to move back home purely given how COVID has displaced everybody here in VIC. 

    I would look at Rivers + 2nd round pick for Cerra only if he indicated that he wanted to go back home. Id do everything to keep Dogga - that kid is going to be a star.

    I don't really understand. Why are we the only other viable option, if we're not an option unless we lose a player?

    The second Rivers hit a centre bounce he'd be regarded as a better midfielder than Cerra

    would need to be a gun player going the other way or a pick around 5 in the draft.  plus cap space is an issue when Clarry signs on a long term contract soonish. and LJ etc

    Massive blow to Freo. No idea why youd want to go to the worst team of this century in Carlton. After Williams, Saad and Martin, not sure how they have cap space either but I guess 2/3 of their list is rubbish so they would be on low money

    Losing Rivers or Jackson is unacceptable. No deal.

    Actually I would prefer to go to North, they have some good young talent coming through and are not a complete rabble of a club

    Rivers?!?! 

    Kid is a gun, how many kids you see slot into the best defence in the league and play as consistenly as him?

    If Rivers wanted to leave, i'd want a HIGH first round pick for him at the minimum.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
