This was from Tom Morris?

I think the media are spitballing until Cerra comes out and nominates.

I must admit I trust the club whole heartedly but this is going to be a tough one to get done. Carlton have to be the logical option for Cerra.

Wait till after The GF….

He's requested a trade to the Eagles apparently

Pick 105 will get it done. Lucky a club still wants him.

During last year’s trade and draft period and even on the night of the draft itself, I was gobsmacked by the audacity of some of the trading. There are lots of things that can happen that we have little or no chance of predicting at this point in time.

 

Exactly, and that's why it's nonsensical, let alone poor journalism, for Ralph to suggest we can't get a trade done.

Who would want to go to Carlton they turn good players into rubbish it's their culture. Walsh is the only exception to the rule but give him time I'm sure Carlton will drag him down to under performing as I said it's their culture. Cerra is ours. The only question is who along with our future first round will be swapped for him. Weid is a certainty maybe Jordon maybe Sparrow?

His opinion on the Pickett future pick swap, has already proven he has little imagination for this kind of stuff.

The fact Cerra hasn't made a decision on which club, is evidence we're well and truly in the mix. he's known he was leaving all year. 

 

Could easily be waiting on Carlton coach?

Just like we did? Things do change, I think landing Cook is as important to Carlton as getting Jackson was for us. Great get, as important (if not moreso) than the new coach appointment.

Gee you talk a bit of sense here Dwight, which is strange for this site.. My exact thoughts. If he wanted to go to the blues he would have come out by now and announced same. This also leads me to think we are a big chance and he will wait until we WIN the GF. I have trust in our back office to get it done some how.

Dr Gonzo we did not get Jacko. The AFL sent him to us to sort our mess out. Thank goodness he did.

Dazzle is right though, would be silly to nominate a club before knowing who the coach is. Might just be waiting on that before announcing.

I won't lose sleep over it if we miss him, would be a good get sure but we can do without him.

he would very much be guided by his management before making such a declaration

it would certainly be in his manager's interests to extract the best financial deal, so why not create a bit of competition and delay to pump up his deal

nothing to be gained by him in showing his hand at this early time

Why would he wait on a coach. The coach will be no good who ever it is. Carlton will be rebuilding for another 20 years they had their chance to rebuild properly but they chose Martin, Williams and Saad. I'd be amazed if Cerra wanted to waste his career at Carltank.

Cerra has pretty much openly stated that he just wants to get home to Victoria and also wants Freo compensated well.

Choosing Carlton isn't exactly the worse case scenario. They've recruited a HIGHLY successful person in Brian Cook and it seems Voss is their man to coach.

Their list isn't exactly bad as some are making out to be. You've got a 10 year key forward in Harry McKay you can build around and then Sam Walsh who's an absolute star in the making. Weitering also is a future All Australian full back and adding Cerra makes them extra competitive. They still need to add a few depth which they have already with Hewett who imo is a better pick up then Saad and Williams purely on the fact he's come from an extremely well drilled culture and we'll give them great two way running in their midfield.

From our perspective I simply cannot see how we please a Fremantle due to their high demand. Jackson and Brayshaw are completely off limits so that just needs to be ruled out.

If Cerra wants a smooth transition home then Cerra for Carltons pick 6 makes sense in a way.

This coming from someone who absolutes hates Carlton to the bone. So it actually pains me to write all that.

Well said.

So many people are unaware or ignorant of the things that the AFL did under Andy Demetriou to save us from extinction.

We were an absolute embarrassment. A rabble. Broke, with a terrible playing list and clueless "leaders" in the boardroom and in the footy department.

The AFL decided that we needed saving and sent Jackson in. They gave the subtle nudge to Roos to join us and also helped us pay our own "tanking" fines.

We owe Demetriou a huge debt of gratitude.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
