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.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
