Brayshaw out for Cerra doesn't really change anything. I am a Brayshaw critic but Cerra doesn't even play on the wing. Not worth the trade capital for what won't really be an upgrade.
Cerra plays both inside and outside mid, is quicker across the deck and is a better ball user than Gus. He’d be an upgrade no doubt.
I read that article and for somebody with an impressive stat like that, it was confusing to not see him feature in the top for kicks that resulted in a mark inside 50. I think that means he's making the right decisions but not hitting the target. Yeah?Currently, 70% of Brayshaw's kicks inside 50 lead to a Dees score. That's the second best conversion rate in the league. He's a bit of a whipping boy around these parts but it's unwarranted in my view - he's sacrificing part of his game for the team and it's making us better than last year.
Not necessarily. If he was consistently missing targets I think there'd be a lower percentage of those kicks that led to a score. To me it says that, regardless of whether our forwards mark the ball or not, he is putting the ball in a position for us to score, not to the advantage of key defenders or towards a situation where we are outnumbered.I read that article and for somebody with an impressive stat like that, it was confusing to not see him feature in the top for kicks that resulted in a mark inside 50.

He doesn't play on the wing. Potentially annoying the playing group by forcing out a contracted player for a minor upgrade if that isn't worth it at all.
Why would improving the list (even with a so-called minor upgrade) “annoy” the playing group? You’re primary aim is to win premierships, not play with as many of your best mates as possible.
Shipping off players for minor upgrades is never a wise decision. Can destroy a playing groups trust in a hurry. Not to mention the chemistry players have built on the knowledge of each other game over multiple years.
See my reply to schmutt above.
I would say a bit of both but mainly through the draft. Richmond drafted a super crop like martin, cotchin, reiwaldt, rance then brought in some good players through trades like houli, grigg, caddy and prestia then finished their work through the draft with good role players. Though admittedly they did make a few trade blunders on the way.Dynastiess are built through the draft, not through trading.

Brod himbro it isn't so called, it is true. You've said he can play on the wing when he literally doesn't play there for Freo at all. Trading Brayshaw for a guy who doesn't even play on the wing would be so stupid.
Would love a Langdon-esque money ball pick to put in a back pocket.
We need a really strong, dour small back that can take the most dangerous forwards ala peak Nev.
I like Lockhart but not sure he's currently up to it and he's regularly out of the team. Bowie some years away and may not ever have the body strength to take on Danger/Dusty types up forward.
Salem and Rivers are more attacking half backs.
I would say it's equally important.
All teams are built at the draft and finished at the trade table.
We need Joel Smith, he's the closest thing to Frosty we have. They're actually the same, just replace frosty's speed with Smith's vertical leap.I get the concern but the strides Lockhart made as a defender in his first full time year doing it were pretty impressive. Fairly confident he has what it takes.
Also, don't forget my boy Joel Smith, just saying.
