[Feva]

Well done Baggers - great deal!

With alot of father/son and academy picks next year, will be about pick 50ish

 

[Red Bull]

Walsh Cripps Cerra

 

[Coona Blues]

Great job team. Fair price, the naysayers have NFI. Happy birthday Adam, welcome to our club. Wanted you in the draft, this may be even better, you missed the development vacuum.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Get in!!! Cerra done, now I can kick my feet up and enjoy the rest of the trade period stress free. Huge get, great price.

 

[Tommy Alvin]

Massive YES to this trade.

Adding Hewett & Cerra to our midfield is an automatic improvement.

I reckon Crippa and Walshy might be sharing a quiet beer with a grin right now.

[Newton Blues]

Great get! Cerra and Walsh for 12 years. Wasn’t pick 6 anyway with Collingwood and Bulldogs jumping in front with F/S so pick 8 and a future pick 50+

 

[Love the Drake]

We've got him! Great news to get it done so early (relatively).

Welcome Adam.

 

[Matty411]

Everyone looks better in Navy Blue. That goes doubly for Cerrrrrra.

Can't wait to see our new #5 in action in Round 1. Will compliment Crippa and Walsh beautifully and give us some beautiful delivery i50. Can imagine Harry and Charlie are licking their lips at this recruitment.

 

[JrDr]

Adds up to pick 4-5 depending on where we finish next year. Sounds fair to me.

 

[TerryWallet]

Very good.

Fair deal for both clubs (surprise surprise). Pick 6(really Pick 8) in this draft was not enough. The elite talent goes about 4-6 deep apparently.

Rapt we didn't have to use a good 2nd rd or future 2nd rd pick.

We needed a gun wingman and landed one. That is great work by young Curly and crew.

 

[La Dispute]

Well done Austin.

Sounds like he bargained pretty hard, and we don’t have to sacrifice any further picks in this years draft.

Pick 6 and future 3rd, quite possibly 50+ is a great deal for one of the best young players in the league.

Looking forward to Cerra hitting Harry lace out.

 

[THEYSEEMEROLLIN]

Fantastic!

 

[RPCB]

Except for Adam Cerra?

Love it, great trade!

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Welcome to Carlton Adam Cerra!!!

Now comes the 'bad' news....you gotta shave your head tomorrow

Well done to Austin.

 

[lukep_86]

The price you pay is forgotten. The benefits you see are week by week.

So my wife keeps telling me

 

[Freoboy in Melbs]

Congrats Blues fans. Happy Birthday Cez. Looking forward to 2022. All the best.

 

[btdg]

Well done - I like that we got it done early for once, leaving time to play around with other trades and ideas. Who knows what shakes loose from here on in...

Pick 6 plus future pick 54 (lower after academies) looks fair to me on both sides

 

[lukep_86]

Great deal, stoked with this. Even better that it's been done fairly early in the trade period

 

[Cripps2Walsh]

Stoked.

Great trading baggers.

 

[MacTosh]

Good clubs just get the important deals done.

Now stand our ground on SPS.

 

[Ruckus]

I just cant get around this for this price, but oh well welcome Adam.

Would've been rapt to draft a player of Adam Cerra's quality with pick 6, but with this trade, we've hit fast-forward on four years of development, and get a player almost as guaranteed as possible to become an integral part of our team, and most likely among our best handful.

That Cerra is a known quantity, of good character, wanted to come to us, and fits our needs as well, make this something of a no-brainer trade, I reckon - even at this price. I expect we'll have long forgotten his 'cost' after what is hopefully a long career in the navy blue.

 

[T2B_]

Awesome stuff!

Freo have been pretty good at pulling maximum value in previous trades, so to do it for that is a great outcome.

 

[norway blue]

Wow. Fantastic news and Happy Birthday Adam .

I wish having a signature showing myself I am right made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but I'll leave that for you. I probably would have taken it to the draft.

Could certainly have taken it to the draft and probably gotten a more than handy player. But the list strategy is clearly on covering the poor development or lack of progress from guys like SPS, Dow, LOB, Fisher, Setters etc. who should have been the ones taking us up the ladder now. Had a few of those players really come along, we'd probably not bother with Cerra and would instead be hitting the draft for young KPPs to develop.

In an alternate timeline, ignoring Cerra here would have made sense. But we're obviously looking to give Voss and Co the tools to push for finals in 2022, not ask him to perform a mini-rebuild over the next few seasons.
