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.

they've sold him on the same thing we did lever - come home, be part of a bright future, be paid a heap of cash

Get to take September off?


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. 

Why are we still devotimg words to this guy? He has chosen MONEY over fotballing sucess

MOVE ON ALL

Looking forward to pumping Carlton next year

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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
