We need to get rid of guys like Rowe, Jones, O'Shea, Mullett, Lamb and Wright - get some more games/pre-seasons into our youngsters and add to our midfield talent.

Seriously, If SOS gets 3-4 of them and keeps our draft picks I will be very happy.![]()

I believe we will trade our future first round pick this year.
reo currently only have 2 picks in this coming draft. Sitting at 6 and 78. If Murphy did in fact leave and we got say pick 20 for him, id package 23wb and 26adel and our next years 3rd up and offer that for Cerra. Low balling them? Maybe... but you have to take a minimum 3 picks in each draft. And if Cerra did want out and choose us, 2 picks in the 20-30 range in a strong draft could be a good get for them. I would then send pick 20 to Sydney for Lloyd.
Think next year will be the year we trade our future pick. We will back ourselves to move up the ladder. Too much chance we end up with a top 4 pick next year still. Think Josh Kelly will be on our list of people of interest come the end of next year so our 2019 1st will be required
Generally like/agree with what you post but this is some next level fantasy stuff.
Firstly Cerra is contracted like all draftees from last year, until the end of 2019, secondly, he is a gun, if the draft was re done tomorrow he would go 1 or 2, there is nothing to suggest that any mid in this draft will be as good as him.
Thirdly, the draft keeps going until clubs no longer want to make any selections, Fremantle can have as many pics in the draft as they want, if all clubs pass after 78 then they have 79.
Also 20 for Lloyd is a steal but not too far off imo, hopefully we ask the question.
Or we trade it this year because the Giants will match any FA offer for Shiel and demand it next year.

Agree about Cerra and i know all the facts. I actually don't think Cerra would go top 5 this year but that could be just me. No way is he better than Lukosius, the King brothers, Smith, Walsh, hately, Rankine imo. So best would be 8.
If he said he wanted out this year and picked one club, they would know they will get unders the following year. So 2 picks between 20-26 and a 3rd the following year isnt great but not horrible.
Freo will definitely want a few picks between 6 and 78. No way will they make up their quota after pick 78.
Wont happen and maybe the picks aren't quite high enough. But if they trust their recruiting team it could become a better outcome for them. In saying that, all of us here are death riding the wbs and adel as we think those early picks will be turned into gold by our recruiting team. So are those picks really that bad? Id be happy as hell to hit the draft with 23 and 26.
No. I dont think they will. They have too many stars on their list. They wont be over paying
If our club traded Dow for pick 23 and 26 i would vomit, he looks to be a fantastic player. Not much point comparing Cerra to Luko or the Kings as they are poles apart in styles and positions, i don't understand the rationale that this draft is always better when rating players, imo Cerra in hindsight Cerra should have gone 1 or 2 so not sure how you would let him slide to 8, but that is just a difference of opinion.
I would love him but Freo won't trade and i wouldn't either, make him see out his deal, he plays well and they get fair compo, i wouldn't accept less than a top 10 pick.
How would you like SOS to deal if it was Dow in the same position?
I came here to see who you guys were considering with your likely top 3 pick.
Then read Cerra for pick 23 and 26?! Haha.
You read funny stuff on others boards.
Well if he puts his hand up and leaves your mob, come back and say hi. Until then move on.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were some shifty business happening in this event, GWS matches the offer knowing full well they can't afford it, forcing Carlton to trade. The AFL knows this happens but turns a blind eye.
Am i being paranoid? I can see this happening.
Thats why i would love for us to trade it, lets offer it for Cerra then if you think he wants to come home. Gun mid, a pre season under his belt, a body of work to asses and judge him on and then when we go after Shiel there is no reason for GWS to match as there isn't anything to gain from it.
No worries but if the offer is 23 and 26 that would be laughable.
Some Vic club would offer us much better. 23 and 26 doesn’t exactly scream deal of the century.
Cerra and 6 for 1 and 23 is starting to look more like it but obviously you’d say ‘no way man... if he wants to leave you must accept our low offer’
And if he chooses one club it means nothing what others want to offer. So why would we give up 1? Your mob wouldn't
Yeah we probably wouldn’t but I’d also not be so stupid to say stuff like Cerra for 23 and 26 whilst trying to keep a straight face.
Also if he wanted to walk out after 1 year to go home and then demand the 1 club that just happens to be Carlton in a state of numerous Vic clubs then I’d say any picks would do for him because he won’t last in the AFL environment. Doubt your scenario is likely though is it?
Correct, said it was unlikely. You clearly had your foot up your own ass and missed that because you wanted to be funny.
I don't understand why you would say he wouldn't survive in an AFL environment if he choose Carlton. Its flogs like you that come onto others boards and think you can rubbish other teams and get away with it. You're actually pathetic. Now piss off!
Don't get the obsession with Cerra, last year everyone spoke of what a poor draft it was, now they're saying he'd go 1 or 2 this year. He's averaging 14 touches a game, I'm sure he'll be a fine player, but seems short sighted to me.
