Adam Cerra

Sadly, Adam Cerra has nominated Carlton.

I think it may have been a pragmatic decision made due to Carlton having the number #6 pick in the 2021 AFL National Draft.

Oh well....his loss...time to move on and target someone else to strengthen our team.

    There is still huge upside in JJ and Sparrow and our current list just won the cup.

    Cerra is not a huge loss.

    Yeah im feeling content 🤪

    The natural progression of the younger players on our list will strengthen it quite substantially.

    In the meantime I would be focussing on Max's & May's successors (3 to 5 years) and a key forward (King) in the next year or so.

    I loved the idea of Cerra from a fit perspective (skilful, balanced mid)

    But has the guy ever looked pick 5 quality yet? All his yearly highlight packages on youtube look solid at best.

    Anyone watched him close enough?

    Oh well move on.

    At least we can now focus on finding ways to move up the draft order.

    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. 

    I don't think there's anything wrong with 'overpaying' for proven talent - hell, we've been criticized for that as recently as last year. The problem is they've been spending big recruiting the icing instead of the cake. At least Cerra is the type of player they actually need.

    He's a seriously promising footballer. Doubt he'll ever be a game breaker ala Bont, Trac, Oliver etc, but well and truly worth a top 5 pick.

    Cerra is quite a bit better than Sparrow and JJ, but I love those boys too.

    I wonder if he will be better than Rivers or Bowey though 'A F'...they have a heap of development left in them.

    I doubt that there's any way we could have satisfied Freo's trade demands, or our own salary cap constraints, without compromising our current list (and perhaps aspects of our superb culture).  Nice but unrealistic dream!

    Yes, agreed.

    Ben King should definitely be a target for us. It just depends if he wants to play with his twin brother Max at St. Kilda.

    Given the Blues handed over pick 8 for Saad I wonder what they will end up giving up for Cerra. No way we could have really got involved here without trading out a few premiership players. No thankyou.

    I don't understand this 

    1. Why wait to now to announce?

    2. Why Carlton FFS - plenty of other Melbourne based teams with top 10 draft picks? Most of which are not the basket case of Carlton - he would be well paid at ay club - Why not choose one with some sort of stabilty?

    3. If his preference really was us - just announce it and then go to your 2nd choice of a deal cannot be worked out - it's not up to him to repay Freo by choosing somewhere else to work based on current employers wish for reimbursement 

    4. It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever - but we have one these🏆so WGAFF

    Despite my flippant comment about Carlton before, I do see the potential for them to progress next year; adding Hewitt and Cerra to Walsh and Cripps makes for a competitive midfield. The great unknown for me is what the coaching will look like under Voss 2.0.

    My understanding is that it will be Selwyn Griffith.

    Safe to say he's Welsh on his father's side then.

    Reckon it'll be their first & second rounder for him.

    Which is funny cause that's pretty much on par with what Freo acquired for prime Lachie Neale.

    I think your first line is a bit harsh Picket, especially given the post above this one.

    I think he went with them simply because we couldn't get a deal done.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
