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

Can’t we have both ?😌

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. 

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.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
