News Adam Cerra nominates Carlton

[Jimmyonesix]

We currently have the 13th youngest list, so there will be plenty of competition for spots when adding the likes of Cerra and Hewett

While I also want more speed, I will take footskills over a quick ball hacker

We do have speed/zip that can rotate through the middle and when you look at someone like Port or the Dogs, their starting mids arent blessed with speed

Is
That before or after cas betts Murphy gone .. I thought we would become one of the younger sides again

 

[thylacine60]

every breath cerra takes, every move he makes, we'll be watching him - and brutally comparing him to players taken pick 9 and onwards.........forever.......

No matter what freo get they are the loser -- Darcy Brayshaw serong cerra good core for 200 games ..
they've lost Neale wheeler Langdon - payed up for Bennel and hogan and lobbe -- they must hate this time of the year

Yup Cerra is a loss for Freo and some luck for us , Dockers definitely lose depth and class from their midfield.

Cripps is both a blessing and a curse in this regard, feel like we need the speed more then most just to cover his ability on the spread.

Can't hurt to add cerra to the mix, hopefully they all buy in to Voss and improve across the board.

As per current list, with those players gone

And it will get younger before start of next year

Carlton offer 6 only Carlton's best alternative is a good player with Pick 6

Freo refuse pick 6 or Carlton's offer and their alternative is trade return worse than 6 from another club or lose Cerra for nothing

Who has the power/leverage here?

Finally!
Can we swap you in for Austin?

Oh, can't you see
You’ll be a Blue in #3

I am literally confuzzled. I am not sure if you are or are not a footballers arseh*le is a good thing or bad thing? What happens if you have no arseh*le? That could be highly problematic ..

Then you're full of s$#t?

 

[Uncle Fester]

The freo board are reasonably convinced that cerra is worth 2 firsts. This year and next. They are clearly delusional. The other main theme is 6 and carroll who they clearly want back….

Looking forward to welcoming Doris

Probably just overrating their own like a lot of us do

If those 2 picks were mid teens then they might have a point. Pick 6 plus another first? They’d be having a laugh

People talk about how Cerra doesn't miss targets but only goes at 68% disposal efficiency despite only getting 35% contested possessions.
They also talk about him being a 2 way runner but he wasn't in the top 5 runners in any game this year so generally he is running less than 13 kms a game. Even Dow managed to do this in 1 game.

I just worry that he isn't that hard finals style footballer.

Only 68% for an inside outside mid, I’ll take it, better than most elite mids.Next!
Not inside the top 5 elite two way runners, better than most elite mids and only 21 year old, I’ll take it, Next!!
Look at his highlights or any game at random, puts his body on the line, never shirks a contest, always bounces back up ready for the next contest after being hit hard, with a vigour very few on our list are willing and able to!

Reminds me of our Coach.
They will plug in and electrify our static and somewhat spiritless unamplified group, prepare for Hendrix, when you put ABBA on the decks……shit just switched to 11.

The problem i see with getting Cerra for a realistic price is that we gave too much to get Saad last year. We paid overs last year and teams will expect that this year. Pick 6 is about right for Cerra. Nothing more

 

[The Fantom]

I wonder if those criticising Cerra have watched him play? Serious question.

Me, I’m a footy nut, I watch nearly every game. Saw a lot of Freo this year, Cerra is a a gun. The game against Richmond late in the season when a spot in the finals was up for grabs. He killed it, 33 possessions and two Brownlow votes. He’ll have what it takes to play finals. We’re getting a good player here and you should get excited!!!

Clearly they don't get that they have no leverage.

There are certainly some New Radicals in here tonight...

I can hardly bring myself to watch Carlton games each week...

This time of year on BF is like an episode of the Young Ones...

Rick: "Guys! Guys! Look at us! Squabbling, bickering, like children! What's happening to us? We never used to be like this!"

Vyvyan: "Yes we did."

Mike: "Yeah, he's right, Rick. We've always been like this."

2nd rounder get's it done. If we get bent over, I will be sending an extremely terse letter to the Club.

if Freo hold their ground, we walk him to the PSD and focus our effots on The Bont with the top 5 pick we get for SPS.

This is a strong POTY contender for mine.

Sums up this place perfectly.

No but you could second SoS to help Austin

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

He is an average midfielder in the MOST common position in AFL with more players coming through in that area than anywhere else.

Here is a list of the TOP TEN for the last ten years from 2018 - there is honestly BARELY a miss in that list (outside of Carlton terrible performance).

At a quick glance we are looking at around 70-80% chance of getting a seriously good player.

... 70 to 80%?! Wooow. There's 100% chance that pick 6 gets us a 'seriously good player' if we send it to freo for Cerra.
