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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
