I think there's appeal in going to Carlton with the opportunity to be part of turning the club around. Had we lost the flag I almost think we may have been a more attractive option, as he could've been part of the special team to break the drought. 

He gets to try and forge his own path of success at Carlton, whereas he's walking into a ready made superstar team with us.

I don't think the pull of the reigning premiers tag is as strong as believed. Would love to have him though!

It's so lovely to be able to watch all the run arounds of trade week this year as teams fight to grab their 'missing piece[s]'. We don't have any! Any one who comes in is cream on top or depth!

You are kidding me right? Every player plays to win premierships. The list of players changing clubs to help facilitate a medallion around their necks goes on forever. Not saying we will get Cerra, however 90% of players would change clubs in order to win a premiership over filling their pockets.

    We would have to move someone out. Only player I could possibly think of, that could get us maybe a late first or early second round pick is Harmes. Most likely a second round. We’d still need to move on a player aside from him, worthy of a top 15 pick. We simply don’t have any that I’d shift on for that, because then you’re talking Rivers, Fritsch, Bowey, potentially Jordan, and it all becomes too much for Cerra. The upside of getting Cerra would be to inject a player of his age and Ilk into our line up as a good immediate and long term move. But it’s only good in the long term if we aren’t giving up any of our future to get him.

    We really are out this trade. We cannot possibly get it done. I suspect Cerra probably wants to come to the Dees, but has concerns on nominating, then being let down.

    There's zero reason for him not to nominate Carlton now.

    I think he wants to come to us but realised it's a longshot with the trade value, so is playing it cool and letting it unfold.

    We'd need to pull off a Josh Mahoney special to make it happen, so hope the recruiting team had their notepads out when he was around.

    there is no chance we'd aggressively pursue him if we didn't know how we'd get the deal done, so i've got no doubt we'll be able to get it over the line if he nominates us

    How? NFI

    There must be a reason he has not nominated the Blues at this stage since the Blues have named their coach and have the picks.

    I dont think anyone would be interested in moving away from the Dees at the moment. Cerra would be a great acquisition and there are number of player + trades that will get it done.

    The one that is most logical would be one of Brayshaw / Rivers / Dogga given they are all WA boys. Brayshaw's immediate family is here (as is his GF and her family) so doubtful he would want to pick up and move. Rivers and Dogga however, may look to move back home purely given how COVID has displaced everybody here in VIC. 

    I would look at Rivers + 2nd round pick for Cerra only if he indicated that he wanted to go back home. Id do everything to keep Dogga - that kid is going to be a star. 

    No to Cerra for me but there will be others across the next few years as we are now a preferred destination team, thanks to this season and our performances across the Finals. At this point before next season, retain our 'purchasing power' with a future salary cap. Cerra ain't no Oliver, Petracca, Gawn, Dogga, Bowey, Brayshaw, Lever, May, Salem, Petty, Hunt, Tomlinson, Harmes, Smith (as a forward), Fritta, Kozzie, Sparrow, Rivers, JJ, Viney, Langdon or ANB, or the youthful others still developing at Casey.

    Adam Cerra would be weighing up being a first string midfielder vs for us being second string/maybe playing wing/half back. 

    in terms of his career it's a pretty big deal 

    What does he want to do? Play midfield in a team absolutely going NOWHERE

    Or play his role wherever that is in a team that is about to launch a Premiership dynasty?

    Seems an easy one to answer!

    I know this is a MFC forum so should expect bias, but people in here are seriously underrating Adam Cerra.

    Seriously talented 21yo and should absolutely explode next year. 

    Also, players get what they want %95 of the time these days. As much as I hate how much power the players have in the trade period we might as well use this to our advantage for a change. If he if he nominates us it will most likely happen. 

    Same goes for any FA's that might pop up in the next few years. The system is rigged for the rich to get richer. We should abuse this like other clubs have in the past.

    Poor Adam. Guess his manager decided for him?

    Much like we did to attract Level and May to our club, Carlton have offered Cerra hope, big $$'s and the chance to be an integral part of something special.  Can't blame the kid for going for it.  And realistically, I just can't see us trading a player out to get the picks required to satisfy Freo.

    Great to see all the other Clubs running around chasing their tails looking begging kicking and back stabbing and big noting about how good a destination they would be.

    Meanwhile back at the footy horcrux of the planet, MFC I'm wondering who is going to replace bloody Burgess

    My understanding is that it will be Selwyn Griffith.

    Cerra will be a fantastic player. But gee whizz carlton really need to start nailing their own picks before they improve. Constantly over paying in both picks and cap space for "proven" players will catch up to them. 

    You do wonder how much hope their list will have if they aren't making some serious impact in finals next year.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
