List Mgmt. Pick #5 - Welcome Adam Cerra [Traded to Carlton for 6 & F3]

[freo_leo29]

Any reason why Melbourne hasn’t been mentioned as being interested in Cerra?

Midfield is pretty stacked already

Oliver, Petracca, Viney, brayshaw

True but I reckon Cerra brings something different to those guys

I’m thinking more the Hogan trade where Melbourne end up with the picks and Freo and Carl/Rich gets the players.

Personally feel if we have Jackson instead of Cerra we have a better balanced list with out sending our development backwards. Melbourne couldn’t afford 750k a year if we threw Cerras money straight at Jackson.

If we lose Cerra I would throw Chapman or Young into the guts.

I can go back to the start of this year and show you posts (outside Joao) that liked what Crowden could bring and he wasn’t called The Spleenrupturer because Freo supporters didn’t like him. He showed plenty as a pressure forward with a strong, long kick.

Giro played like 10 games as a skinny 18 yo rookiein his first year and I can again show you posts where people excited about what he could bring. He then did an ACL so was going to miss the whole next year. You can’t give him a 1 year contract extension given no one dominates straight off an ACL so he stays on the rookie list for an extra year, that’s perfectly fine.

The contracts for both were perfectly fine

I have no issue with Crowden and he has been serviceable and can kick the ball well both feet. He has improved since his first season.

Giro was a rookie pick. His contract extension was prior to ACL but I wouldn’t have signed for anymore than 1 year on the rookie list. How he managed another 2 years being the most one-sided player I have seen in more recent times. Like I have posted previously WAFL players have him worked out. In the WAFL he runs around getting himself into trouble so he can kick on his left. He also kicks checkside rather than try with his right. In my years of playing A and B Amateurs I saw heaps of team mates develop their non-preferred better than Giro.

A two year contract for Giro was a bad list management decision. He is good for the time trials though.

Ok, maybe but the club would have been pretty high on him given his start, still, it’s the rookie list for an extra year, it’s a non issue

Isn’t he on the primary list? I thought our rookies were as follows:
- Hughes, Bewley, Schultz, Watson, Banfield cat-a
- Thomas cat-b

Definitely on the Primary list:

Young duo sign on

Promising Fremantle players Taylin Duman and Stefan Giro have signed contract extensions

www.fremantlefc.com.au

“Giro will complete his pre-existing rookie contract for the 2019 season and will be elevated to the senior list for the 2020 and 2021 seasons as a part of his new deal.”

This is why I shouldn’t voice my opinion on things. I’ll say it’s a mildly poor list decision but not as bad as old mate was saying

What would be everybody’s thoughts be if we lost Cerra and picked up Jackson with the picks?

Assuming Lobb is staying I would keep the picks. Happy to find a KPF/ruck prospect late in the draft or next year, or Williams or Andrews can float through there if we picked either up as KPF/rucks if we decided to use a first roundpick.

Fair enough but we also have Valente and O'Driscoll who are midfielder plus Bewley, Frederick, Walker and Henry who could play wing where Cerra spends a bit of time.

Unheard of for a bigfooty poster to exaggerate.

Giro played 10 games in his rookie year. Won all the time trials and is quite quick. But he has always been one-sided. Not a big issue but a strange contract decision for mine and I felt the same at the time.

Hughes has been toiling away for years on the rookie list.

They are doing the same thing with Schultz at the moment, which if it comes off is good list management.

Schultz may have some suitors (apparently Hawks) putting some pressure on this strategy.

If Giro only a one year rookie contract extension he prob wouldn’t be on the list right now.

What happened to SPS? He was highly rated even in discussions for the number 1 pick. Since he’s been in the AFL he’s been a nothing player.

Has he been poorly managed and a change in club & coaching would turn him around? Or is he just an ordinary player?

He got Carltonned !
Good luck Adam if you decide to go to Carlton, what a shambles .

Not bad for a bloke (who during the game) people were saying had put the cue in the rack.

Cerra delivered an impressive 30 disposal and two-goal performance, while also finishing with eight score involvements, six inside 50s and a game-high 586 metres gained.

He put his body on the line quite a bit late too

 

[FreoRicci]

What deal? SPS as steak knives is an OK option.

Fourth rounder, nothing more. Should be separate from a Cerra trade. BUT knowing our weak list management team, probably will be SPS plus a second rounder

Would love to go trade with them.
Ask for a Jackson or Weideman.

 

[muckypup]

Pretty sure 99% of us really want him to stay but are mentally making excuses and justifying his loss in preparation for his potential departure.
(There’s probably a psychological term for this that I can’t think of right now )

It's a "cope" to use an American internet slang.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Probably his best game to date which was funny when reading match thread comments

 

[Taylor]

Coaches vote game?

I’m one of his harshest critics but I’m giving him 5 votes this week. He was very good .

 

[wild side]

Had a very good game today, him and Wilson were our best I thought.

Agreed, thought Andy was good too but lacked polish today.

If this happens just wind up the club

He responded well and I agree was our best.

this would legitimately make me re-think my membership. And I’ve stuck through some absolute rubbish over a long journey..

 

[freo_leo29]

He couldn't hit a target in the first half but was definitely our best on in the second
