At this stage of the season the MFC has bigger fish to fry before they turn their attention to recuiting players from other clubs.

The recruiter would never mention player they wish to recruit because it may distract the playing group from the job at hand.

    You do realise that a recruiters job is to spend the whole year dealing with other recruiters, players and managers to suss out potential trades? They won't pause simply because we made the finals, quite the opposite. We are a destination club and Freo are on holidays. 

    I say go hard, keep it quiet, as you say, and let's see if Cerra really wants success.

    Talk about destabilising a Club and list!!

    Forget it snd let us build strength the way we have which is going to last!

     

    I think you need to re-read my post. I get that most people skim over comments and draw their conclusions. But if you examine it closely, you will see that the only players where you may get some luck in trading for Cerra are those with a WA connection. I said Brayshaw is doubtful given his immediate family is here, do everything you can to keep LJ  (is he a rare commodity) and for Rivers only if he wanted to move. 

    How is that destabilising?

    Interesting this was mentioned by Tom Morris in the Jack Gunston article.

    Melbourne also flirted with the possibility of going after Adam Cerra, but with limited draft capital the Demons would find it difficult to do a deal with Fremantle for the slick midfielder. Carlton remains the strong favourite to get Cerra.

    It's well known you have to pay overs to prise a player out of his current club. And his manager will be making MFC well aware of that. "Show me the money!!!!!" Do we have the cap space?

    But ...

    Carlton??? One of two clubs in turmoil?

    Also ... flag contender. Never say never.

    Damn. I was picturing Rick Grimes from Walking Dead. Could see "Rick" being this upset when we leak goals.

    Makes me wonder if our chase in Cerra means we'll be looking at another midfielder to bring in perhaps?

    We need money to pay for up and coming players, so it is a no for me.

    It's interesting. If rumours are to be believed a number of clubs from GWS, to Sydney, to Collingwood have cap issues. 

    I think we'll look to be aggressive this off season, flag or no flag. We're in our window now and if we can add an elite user to our midfield that can play inside, but mostly outside and improve our ball use from stoppage, it'll add an extra dimension to our game and give us more options.

    I'd be looking at one of the NSW clubs. Both are stacked with talented kids in the 21-25 age bracket.

    The major thing is convincing them to come. If we get that bit sorted, we'll find the trade capital to make the rest work.

    Your time to shine.

    Yes, I was thinking about Chook too. He's normally all over this stuff...

    I've said it 50 times in other threads but I'll say it again. But wouldn't bringing in Maynard to then release a Rivers or Salem into the midfield mix strengthen two positions with one move? Cheaper than bringing in a Cerra type too.

    I reckon Salem is too slow for the midfield and just too useful off HB with setting up play

    River is obviously untried so far, but might be worth a look

    Fair points. Just feel there's greater upside with what Maynard would allow us to do.

    I reckon Rivers has great wing/midfield potential. Also wonder if we might see Brayshaw return to the midfield next year after being defensively educated on the wing.

    I've been thinking the same thing myself with Brayshaw, he has proven himself a true team player this year on the wing and has probably done everything the coaching staff has asked of him despite what others may think.

    Rivers yes, Salem no at this stage in his career.

    And there is a good chance bowey will end up as a mid, given that’s where he played as a junior.

    And we have captain Jack sparrow and Jordan in rhe mix too

    @Pennant St Dee or other WA Demons heard anything on the Cerra front?

    Nothing regarding a trade of late, heard earlier in the year he was Geelong bound, but doesn’t seem to be the case. 
     

    Nothing to do with Freo just he and his partner wanting to return to Victoria by all accounts

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
