Apologies guys, I'm gonna hold fire for now. Only very very sketchy rumours at the moment, really would not be worth posting. If things get any more solid I will post for sure.

Surely that disclaimer is enough for no mud to stick, should this sketchy rumour not eventuate

 

I suspect some rumours should not be publicised until after the Finals are concluded..?

 

Compensation-wise, I think a combination of Weid & next year’s 1st rounder in a multi-team trade for Cerra could come close to it.

Cap-wise, Jones would be on a solid wage, and T-Mac is coming out of contract and will not being re-signed on the same outrageous salary. It could be done.

The biggest trouble for me is figuring out where we’d play him? Can’t have too much class though. Might send someone like Harmes out of the 22.

I have a feeling it won't be one way traffic.

Waiting until after finals suggests it may be someone exiting

Just for the record, TMac is contracted until 2022 and I had an inkling his salary was pretty high next year..  That doesn't change the essence of your post as the club will find a way to do the deal if that is what they decide.

There is no way that Harmes will be pushed out of that team - he's too good a player

Oops. Not sure why I thought T-Mac was out of contract. Maybe because Weid is.

Anyway, Hibberd & Melksham should be coming out of contract soonish I’d think, and would be due for pay cuts.

Quite right.  Hibberd OOC this year and Melksham OOC next year.

Boo we want info (solid or not)..... :)


This doesn't really relate to Cerra but Jackson and Rivers can now tick off playing a winning "home" final in Perth in front of 60,000 fans.

Another reason for them to stay.

 

He wouldn't even get a game! 😂 

I've gotten carried away and I don't care #grandfinalbound

Don't care anymore

Carlton will have to wait for several more weeks to secure Adam Cerra’s commitment as potential bidder Melbourne makes its premiership charge.

Cerra is in no hurry to make a decision on his future even as he is expected to nominate Carlton after the Grand Final, with the Blues well placed to get him home to Victoria.

The Blues will remain nervous about Melbourne’s intent to pull off a trade heist for Cerra given their wide open premiership window and his close friendship with Demons wingman Ed Langdon.

There is no rush for Cerra to make an official decision. The Blues, with the No.6 draft pick, have the capacity and determination to trade that selection to the Dockers for Cerra.

The trade period starts on October 4, nine days after the September 25 Grand Final.

Carlton also does not have a coach or chief executive, which adds to the uncertainty about the club’s future.

The Demons have no plans to trade Luke Jackson and the Herald Sun understands the contracted key tall is happy to remain at the club that has him under contract until 2022.

So, without a first-round pick, it would seem impossible for the Demons to get a deal done on Cerra.

The Demons would have significant appeal to Cerra if he could get there, but his No.1 priority is remaining to be closer to family and friends and he knows he needs to request a move to a club that can broker that deal.

Adam Cerra has to choose between Carlton and Melbourne.

Cerra remains in Perth and will attend the Dockers’ best-and-fairest as he enjoys his holidays in West Australia.

Jon Ralph spreading chook food for poor Blues fans... 

If there's no decision for the next 2 weeks, then we're likely on.

Oh, and why would you join a shambles club without a coach?

Probably have accepted that he goes to Carlton.

We simply have no draft capital for Freo.

agree. he keeps writing articles about Cerra with no insights whatsoever. we all know that MFC don't *currently* have anything or worth pick-wise, but that doesn't mean that we can't get it. [censored].

Does Ralph provide anything? 

The amount of nothing articles that circulate the news outlets are soooooo tiresome. 

He provided absolutely nothing new in the above. And he has no idea whether or not we can facilitate a trade. Why would he use the word impossible? 

How many times do we see a player nominate a club of choice, only to be denied? Rarely if ever. 

If we've met with him, the longer he waits to nominate, surely the likelihood of him wanting to come to us goes up given we're still playing.. No? 

Ralph is such a facepalm.

No coach or chief  exucutive.....Who at Carlton has actually expressed strong interest in him? The reporting on this subject seems wishful thinking from Carlton affiliated media. Nobody in their right mind would currently choose Carlton over Melbourne.  Will come down to more than money and draft picks....I would say Cerra will select us and then we will get to work to arrange the swaps required.

 

Left-field thinking...maybe they're offering him a combined role - playing Captain-Coach, CEO and President?

Isn't Ralph a Carlton supporter?

Or am I thinking of another journo?

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
