Fair trade for both sides. Freo draft a key position gun with pick 6 and all forgotten. Still have Brayshaw and Serong so plenty of upside with their young mids.
Freo also got pick 19 for barely anything plus Brodie who has upside.
If you look at their trade period as a whole its a success.

Dont talk rubbish if you’ve got nothing to back it up with. We offered Cameron about 1 million more over 5 years than u blokes. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/af...s/news-story/6e4204740327cd61fc00cb92277f06bd

I'm not arguing the numbers, it's your analysis that's wrong. But this thread is not the place to argue over it. We are well off topic of Adam Cerra's trade.

Agreed. I think the disappointment from freo supporters comes from pre trade hyperbole.
Media were on a pretty strong anti Carlton tirade until Voss and cook were appointed.
Melbourne sniffing around, Carlton represented as desperate.
Classic bias from fans wanting inflated compensation for out of contract young players.
In the end the right deal was made.

Freo make out like bandits in yet another trade period.
Peter Bell is a genius.
At least it's not us he's fleecing this year.

The numbers tell the story…
I was really hoping for some melty frothy goodness from the Freo contingent but you all seem pretty well contained.
Is Chief holding you against your will?
Blink once for yes and twice for yes.

Considering you could have drafted Cerra instead of Dow who has done bugger all in comparison, I wouldn't be gloating too much.

They got a good deal. We aren’t very good at this.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
Check their board.
We blinked, right?
Let me put it this way. If the roles were reversed and we were Freo (vom), are you telling me you wouldn’t want at least 6 and 25 for Cerra?
I *in would. We got two firsts for Gibbs FFS! I was expecting two fists!

Both clubs have done OK out of this.
Carlton will obviously be very happy. They get their man and to do it whilst keeping both this years and next years 2nd round pick is a very good result.
Fremantle will be sad to lose the player obviously, for less than what they would have liked, but that's par for the course when the player is out of contract. Pick 6 is a good pick and they've got a nice draft hand now.

Their aren’t enough dumplings in the world to make me venture over there simply to earn a ban for razzing them about something of which none of us internet numpties had any say in.
Or is there

I am still flabbergasted that Adelaide paid up a year later. Baffling.

Yep sums it up. Bummed to lose him, but kudos to Cerra for choosing Carlton because it got us that awesome pick #6.

So contrary to the consensus here Cerra always wanted to go to Carlton over Melbourne. Gave them am opportunity to pitch but decided Carlton was the right fit.
Destination club.

Was the Giants matching not them offering the exact same amount as Geelong? They were willing to pay the cash and had the room, you don’t match otherwise.

I liked Cerra for sure but I don't think losing him will hurt much. It actually should be turned into a positive on draft day based on a couple of the WA forwards I've seen. I'm pretty sure that's why there was less haggling than normal.

Why Cerra chose Carlton despite “very impressive” pitch from Victorian rival
"They were grateful I gave them the opportunity."

The horse had bolted so to speak, if you really wanted to keep him (for that money) thrn you’d offer it before they make their decision to leave, Cameron was quite uncertain about leaving at that point.

You’d think the blues are starting to get a significant concentration of genuine talent on their books now.
Surely must be going to see some improved results this year you’d think.
