Freo wants two first round picks. Do we even have one? 

We have a future first?

Freo won’t be counting on that one being a top 10 pick I wouldn’t think.

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 

Salem is not slow he has pace, kicking is quicker then running

Wouldn't be totally shocked if we traded out a Harmes to GCS, or a Sparrow to Adelaide if we won the flag, in order to bundle up some picks.

Just a gut feel...

Sparrow will be a gun, tough as Viney but a better kick, and has pace.

We supposedly wanted two first rounders for Hogan when he was the next big thing as a key forward. Freo then decided to split one of their first rounders and offered us the worse one. They're going to be difficult because Bell seemingly wants to win trades rather than get a mutually beneficial outcome. That was shown again when second rounder swaps had to be involved in the langdon trade.

If Cerra nominates us we'll have a lot more leverage with the only risk remaining being Cerra walked through to the psd for North or Collingwood to take him. Freo would forego any compensation so I can't see that as being likely. 

I thought this would be a dull trade period for us but it could get interesting.


Exciting that we are in the hunt for Cerra, absolute class. We need to get industrial with our trading to get up the draft order, think how many times over the years the hawks, tigers and cats have got overs for their surplus role players purely because that player was in the squad of a team at the top of the ladder. Our players are worth more than in previous years, of course you don't want to unsettle the team balance but if given the opportunity to bring in Cerra sacrifices mutual sacrifices will need to be made. 

GC will be crying out for semi established midfielders to build around Rowell and Anderson. 

We have some amazing SA born young talent on the list would the crows want to bring some boys home in attempt to fast track their rebuild.

Essendon and the saints need help on the inside.

The blues could literally throw 700k at anyone, why not Bradke? ****I joke!!****

I have full faith in the club and the decision makers that the right calls will be made, we have untouchable players like all clubs.

We already have the cake and I believe we have the icing as well.

Adam could be the Cerra on top.

Robbie D'orazio I assume. 

Cerra's manager.

Thanks for clarifying that @wheaters31...I was starting to wonder if an ouija board was involved in the process.

Apologies if this has already been covered, but how can we afford this bloke?

I really don’t want to lose any of our required players over the next few years due to cap pressure, Collingwood style.

Adam's gone on record saying he'll accept afterpay

Pretty sure Treloar did the same but then Collingwood couldn't pay the $5 late fee.

Cerra is signed sealed and delivered. No need to worry because because I got my info off Dr.Evil

Is Lachie Neale possibly back to Freo our way into having some play with Cerra?

Thanks! Ah sorry Clint - it was more a question around whether you had any thoughts about the mechanics of how we could be part of getting Neale back to Freo, and Cerra across to us.

Not really. I'm sure Richo and Tim Lamb will be on it.

What do you guys think we will genuinely get for Weid if he does go?

Do we take a chance and move on a player like Harmes?

Hearing rumours of Sparrow to the Crows, what pick would we get in that deal?

Neale being in play for Freo means they will want Cerra out asap so they know what they're working with to get Neale in.

Only thing we currently have is a future first and no team would realistically gamble a future first for a team that could be top 4 next season.

On Cerra as a player, i haven't seen a lot of him so i can't say i'm excited about potentially losing a tough kid in Sparrow to potentially make room for him. Especially if he comes in on 600k + when he's 21 into a side that could be premiers.

I do like however, is that he's 21 and played 76 games. Sparrow is 21 and played 26? Granted one was a pick 5 and went to a team that was in a complete rebuild and the other was pick 27 and came into a team that made a prelim.

However, Cerra is hitting an experience level peak that Trac, Oliver, Salem all hit 2 years ago. Getting a 21 year old in who clearly we rate if we are after him and his demands are 600k + who could be entering a boom period in the upcoming 1-2 seasons is very smart recruitment.

I already did in next year's team thread.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
