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.

    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.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
