I have a son the same age and heard through his friends that know Adam that Adam was shattered to be drafted interstate and was always coming home.That press conference video the club has put it is a must watch.
If you watch that and don't get excited, I don't know what will.
These are what got me counting the days for Round 1:
1. Cerra. He is a guy that knows what he wants. Obviously highly intelligent and very relatable regarding family bond. He seems to be the kind that is well liked as a person, as a teammate and as a coachable player. He also seems to see what we're all starting to see in the club. That shift into a new direction. There seems to be a collective that felt missing this season. He can see that and wants to be part of it.
2. Most impressive thing about that interview is not only what Crippa did in reaching out and talking to him, but it wasn't Cripps selling the club to Cerra, it was Cerra trying to get to know the club. His mind was already made up by then.
3. Another thing that got me excited was the comment that Cripps is "very excited about the Direction the club is taking". This spoke volumes. It said that Cripps wasn't really satisfied with the previous coach/coaching (which has been rumoured) and that he is very happy and is excited that we went for the Voss solution.
4. Melbourne was never really into the equation. He seems set on Carlton and saw himself only here.
5. For whatever reason I actually think his girlfriend and her family played a role in him choosing us really early on. I mean a Carlton supporting family and Carlton is the first and at the start only option, of course they would say a word here and there. So when we start to know who she is from B&F and Brownlow attendance, she'll always be my favourite.
54Very much hoping that the future third is a pick in the 50's next year.
Works the other way with FS. This year Daicos and Darcy will use up 6-8 picks.More than likely with the amount of Father Sons and NGA's in next seasons draft.
Cerrari.........🏎🏎🏎Yeah we got the Ferrari in Cerra. Fantastic. But Hewett's the one . The trusty ol FJ cruiser. Good luck to them both.
watch em dive under the seat when he's tearing it up with vanilla - a whole lot of vanilla with cherra on top.............Easily worth a first rounder
In your opinion, if Cerra didn't pick us and nominated for this years ND, what pick do think he would have gone at?I just cant get around this for this price, but oh well welcome Adam.
check his highlights in that link - the core strength! the delivery! you indignant brutes, you salacious precursors, you incandescent pipe-cleaners........
Look, I hope this is true. And I agree with the rest of your post.Very comfortable in saying Cerra will the best player/recruit from another club we have gotten since Chris Judd, absolutely. Some critics of this trade (from our end) will end up with a Baker's Dozen or so (egg) on their faces

BUT! I think we're missing a bit of respect for Sam Docherty here. Pick in the 30s traded for a captain and AA. He was an absolute bargain of a trade.
Cerra may well reach Doch's heights, but AA + Carlton Captain is a pretty high bar.
I am pretty sure the pick will be pick 8 after pushbacks anyway, just turned 22, with 76 games of quality development under his back
With our current list age and demographic, it was the perfect trade for us, I don't want us to be like Dodo where we feel like we have to fleece clubs in trades to feel better about ourselves.
With his precision kicking ability and ability to kick goals like a cork in an ocean (as Den Cometti was fond of saying) I honestly am flabbergasted at anyone we paid overs for Cerra.
I would widely guess the odds of Freo picking up a player as good/more talented than Cerra with the pick we gave up for AC (plus our future 3rd round pick) as around the 5 % mark ish

video?His 2021 is even better.
Think there was a big highlight video on the afl website last week. Maybe 4-5 mins or something like that. Don’t think it was just ‘21, but was decent watching.video?
Great chart! Are these available on a site or were they made manually? Would be interested at looking at some other areas
