Traded Adam Cerra traded to Carlton for pick #6 and F3

[freo_leo29]

Lmao at Bell playing hardball with Melbourne but accepting that from Carlton.

We have you Langdon for a steal though

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Who wanted that bet it would be pick 6 only?

It’s no straight swap for Luke Jackson, is it?

 

[Blues_Man]

the key word was Cerra was out of contract. That is the key situation.

Had cerra been still contracted, Freo would of asked for a couple of 1st rounders or a 1st rounder and 1 or 2 second rounders

But he wasn't..and Freo fans expected that and more .

 

[WilloTree]

Do you think I'll lose sleep over pick 50?

Why would it matter? I thought you didn't want him? This is what you wrote:

"lol, Cerra won't get you more then pick 18 next year and a fringe type from Melbourne. I don't even want him at Carlton, we need speed and size through the middle and he possesses neither."

 

[Blues_Man]

Erasmus will be better than Cerra anyway

Who ?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

2 first round picks, lol..

 

[richoatthedisco]

We did tell you, Freo fans.

 

[freo_leo29]

We were gonna give Cerra and 8 for Jackson and change


If only

I didn't care either way, still don't.

All I cared about was not trading 6 + 25 which we did thankfully.

"It will be pick 6 only and you will like it"
Skull face

It is pick 6 only, you counting a future 3rd as having value is lol

 

[Hogwild]

You're just embarrassing yourself now

You're just embarrassing yourself now

Tissues are in the mail

 

[VeinGlorious]

Sorry Freo

 

[FlowersByIrene]

The only indictment on Freo here is that he's on substantially less money at Carlton than he was offered at Freo. You have to question their drafting and development strategy if players are taking less money to leave. Please pick a WA kid this year Freo.

 

[Freomaniac]

if you can pick a few like young, serong & brayshaw from this years draft it'll be a great core in 3-4 years

only if they stay put though

 

[CakeEater]

Freo offer < Carlton contract + paperbag

Yeah but we dont have any visybility on that though.

 

[Freomaniac]

McGovern and 4th rounder

jeeze, that offer is bordering on reportable lol

I get that you're probably a troll, but there were several realistic posters on both sides saying that the deal would end up being something like this.

Just because some Freo posters thought it would be 6 + 25 + other swaps didn't make it any more likely than Carlton posters thinking it would be for 6 alone.

Fremantle got the best deal they could for an uncontracted player who was committed to leaving and Carlton paid a decent price for him. It's likely Carlton end up being the winners, but that isn't a huge shock for a player of known, AFL quality who most clubs would want to have on their list.

I hope Fremantle can find someone good at the draft and when we come to deal with each other again, a similar result can be reached no matter which direction the player is going.

Agreed. 6 and 25 was the preferred by us but as long as 6 was involved I don't think you can say Freo were bent over.

 

[Overhang]

Took a long time to get to, is unders for Cameron, and came after threats from Geelong about the PSD. And much sooking. I wouldn't call them ''great'' to deal with, but ''OK in the end''. Dawson might yet reach that category for Sydney if the final trade is OK to Swans fans!

Lets not forget he was a RFA and the swifty GWS pulled we're they actually weren't willing to offer Cameron the contract you ended up matching, you only matched for our draft hand and had no interest in actually signing Cameron for the dollars at steak otherwise you would have offered him this contract before he requested the trade.

Sure mate.

Yeah preferred of course, but I was saying all along 6 + 25 was really unrealistic. I offered to take any amount of money that is wouldn't happen, no takers...

No, that's a stupid - and incorrect - analysis of the situation.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

It favours Carlton but its not outrageous. Cerra is a very good player but he's not a star.
Probably a second instead of the third would've made it about right.

Dockers have a pretty damn good draft hand now.

I'm sorry but a realistic take on the trade does not belong in this thread.

 

[WilloTree]

I didn't care either way, still don't.

So you're happy you sent out Pick 6 and a third for someone you don't want?

What a strange mob these Carlton folk are.
