Going by the Brownlow the top 50 midfielders are the top 70 players in the league and include ruckmen and wingers?

    Why not, we have no idea what our salary cap pressure is, if we can fit him in the cap with out risking losing key players you get him.  The best thing about our side is the age demographic, not to many players that will play on Saturday that won't play for another 4-5+ years.

    Well if this morning's news on the AFL site is correct, we know Weideman won't be part of any trade for Cerra.

    Still won't rule out the club being able to get it done though if he nominates us.

    With Carlton announcing their coach now wonder if this now plays a huge part in Cerra’s decision. 

  • Quote

    I'm a big fan of this kid but I have never been confident of this happening.  

    I've always thought he would be holding off making his announcement until the new coach of Carlton has been named.  Going to a new club without a coach named just reeks of either a fat contract that's too good to be true or a player desperate to get out of his existing club foe certain reasons. 

    So its not something that Fremantle would want or he would want to be seen doing.  I'm sure they're both in agreeance here.

    Now that Voss has been named, I'm just waiting for his confirmation to the press along the usual lines of "I've spoke with Vossy and I'm super excited with his plans for the Carlton Football Club and his vision for the future.  It's something I want to be a part of"

    I've heard he's as good as ours from someone who would know (for whatever that's worth)

    I have heard the same. But have no idea what we are planning to give up.

    we're either going to be incredibly cheeky with picks to get 1-2 really good picks somehow, or we may have 1-2 players we think may be willing to go to Freo

    You mean that person “knows” that he will nominate us. I am pretty certain no deal has been done with Freo yet.

    I was told of two young players who may be involved in trades (neither are locks in our best 22, no-one from the 2019 draft trio)

    Take it with a grain of salt however, just passing on the message

    are we talking like James Jordan/Tom Sparrow type players?

    Wouldn't we just give them a future first rounder and possibly a second rounder?

    I sincerely hope not as I rate these 2.

    But the reality is if Cerra does nominate us it's likely it will be those types....

    Part of me then hopes Cerra doesn't nominate us as I do t want to see these guys leave unless they wanted to move anyway. Which there could be a chance for Sparrow being a SA boy.

    I still think Tom resigning points to us getting Cerra

    It was a very strange time to do an albeit excellent contract extension if they didn’t need early bargaining chips

    Are these of the Chandler/Bedford/Baker variety?  I'd be loathe to see Jordon or Sparrow go. Jordon's been very good this year and Sparrow has gone up a gear in finals which is exactly what we want (c.f. Gary Rohan).

    Unfortunately, to win flags you have to be ruthless. 

    If giving up Sparrow and Jordan for picks to help land Cerra is on then it's a no brainer.

    Cerra would be unbelievable for us. He is a top 5 pick pick and I watched him multiple times live in his draft year. We're in our window now so ruthless decisions have to be made. 

    Not sure why anyone would be upset to lose Sparrow/Jordan if it meant we could get Cerra.

    I wouldn't. I know both Sparrow and Jordon are rated extremely highly internally, but Cerra is better then them.

    Every year you need to find ways to better your list.

    Getting Cerra makes our list significantly better.

    I wouldn’t like to lose Sparrow or JJ. Not sure either of them would be keen on a move either. 
    On the other hand if one of them is keen on a move and we can somehow land Cerra and keep a half decent draft pick this year then I’d back JT to pick up another similar player in this years draft. He seems to have an eye for inside mids.

    Any chance we can get Freo to pay part of his salary going forward if he comes to us..? ;)

    aka Treloar at Doggies..

    He would already get less $ from Melbourne than Carlton.....Freo will definitely not be paying ANY part of his new wages lol.

    I don't doubt Cerra is a talented player.

    For me it's about role and team balance. Petracca has publically praised both Spaz and Jordan as allowing him to be a better player for the roles they play on the team. 

    Will be interesting to see where Cerra fits in the team if he does come.

    For me it all depends on the price we need to pay Freo and how it affects the team. But I will say I trust out FD, if we are chasing Cerra there is a good reason for it.

    Interesting times.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
