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.

I am hearing rumblings of a war chest at Arden street  😂

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.

Possible trade Eishold, Godfrey, Hopgood, Bartram and Spencer for Cerra

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
