Are you sure? I thought he was out of contract. My mistake.

Either way, a third round pick would suffice. And I doubt we would prioritise him over Cerra. 

I'll need to double check but I'm pretty sure he is??

Good to know, I would put Gunston above Cerra in terms of targets.

I like Gunston and think it would be a screwed recruit.

But right now personally, if I'm choosing between an up and coming star of the future in Cerra or a guy who's got a bung back at 29 years of age then I know who I'm selecting.

    From Sam McClure article.

    While Cerra is said to be extremely impressed with Melbourne’s presentation, he is also excited at the proposition of playing alongside Carlton duo Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh.

    Presentation aside, we finished the season on top of the ladder. Was that the presentation? aha

    All this we’ve got no picks to get the deal done is my favourite.

    You would?? Excellent!

    That is it in a nutshell... no point presenting if a deal could not be worked out... I'd imagine it will not have anything to do with a straight deal between Melbourne and Freo - that appears to be self-evident.

    Disagree, I want to win a flag in the next three years. Gunston would be perfect for our quick turnover game plan - he is so smart. Mids we have.

    It’s pretty simple

    Melbourne receives: Cerra

    Freo receives: Our rolled gold assurance not to come back and raid their cupboard again during our next 5 powerhouse years

    I don’t doubt that at all.

    It's his body that worries me the most.

    They must be planning on getting rid of T Mac if the Gunston stuff is real

    Would free up a lot of coin too

    Or TMac, still unhappy about last year and perhaps playing second fiddle to Brown, wants to move on....

    Tmac has gone on record to say his form was bad and he understood where the club was coming from and that they’ve been nothing but wonderful to him when a trade couldn’t be done. And he’s played every game since. So I doubt he’s still unhappy.

    For the record, I don't think it's likely he requests a trade, but I wouldn't be totally shocked.

    Also, not sure those comments really mean much tbh. I don't recall any player who requested a trade coming out during the season and saying 'Yeah nah, I'm super unhappy, I'm outta here the first chance I get. Just hopefully get my contract value up rest of the season and then I'll burn this place'....

    T-mac's form has also dropped off. Perhaps this year was the best possible outcome and both parties are being realistic about next year

    would you pay $700k for TMac?

    He's not going anywhere unless he takes a 2 x $500k deal

    He's played the bulk of games this season, we're in the window - would be surprised if he seeks a trade.

    Losing that for Gunston is a big risk for the Dees, esp with ? over Weid.

    We could offer them an option to deal with us, if Jacko does decide to go home, at any time in the next 5 years

    I'd have thought our currency for Cerra wont be revealed until after the seasons done (obvious I know).

    However, I'd be looking at the upcoming players who play similar roles to our stars, especially in the middle. Players like Chandler and Sparrow who've shown they could be playing regular midfield minutes and forging their careers in a team without Clarrie, Trac and Jack... even Harmes and Brayshaw, if they want serious midfield minutes.

    To clarify here, are you suggesting Freo would possibly entertain any of Chandler, Sparrow, Harmes or Brayshaw for Cerra?

    Not particularly.

    More about who may want to seek opportunities elsewhere (due to limited opportunity at MFC) that might in turn give us more currency to get Cerra. I've no idea what freo would want.

    Gonna be interesting to see how we approach this. From what we know there are no impending departures. 

    Those fringe players that may want to go (Chandler, Baker, Lockhart, Bedford, Smith, etc.) are not worth much.

    Can't see Freo wantng to deal in the futures market? 

    What are we missing?

    We of course don't have to deal directly with Freo in futures dee-tox. Packaging this year's ~34 and next year's first-rounder (let's say 18) to a club for which such a deal makes sense, possibly gets us something in the range of 12-15. Freo might then accept that and one of our semi-fringe players as a list replacement. 

    We are also likely to have an exit or two, and one which could net us something in the mid to late 20s. If we off-loaded ~34, I imagine we would then want to keep a pick in this range, but the extra picks also help us to split and move up the order, or as a further pick-swap incentive for Freo. I think we can get something done.

    Not advocating it one way or the other - but if our list management team view Cerra as a key ingredient, then I'm not at all worried about future salary cap issues. And who knows, Fremantle still need to fix their key forward mix, and with Rory Lobb possibly out the door we may well see Weideman head directly out west.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
