I like Alleer the most if we can find a solid lock down player to replace Jones. His intercepting is lovely.

I don't think we have anyone like Cerra on our list
Better disposal than both those boys, can rest forward and has a wider frame, so will end up bigger than both
Pretty much a complete midfielder. Behind Walsh, but not without similarities. His disposal sets him apart, only potentially Stocker has the attributes to win the ball and distribute at that level. LOB offers the disposal skills, but his prime role is as a link. Williams has better disposal than many give him credit for. Durdin will bring the disposal standards up as well. Then we look to perhaps Cuners as a mid with quality skills. (Must acknowledge the disposal skills of Saad and Weiters from defence)
Big call on comparison, but yes, was Mundy’s successor theoretically and will be very similar for mine. Does have an excellent frame to grow in to. Going to be more “bull” than some expect.
Some Dow similarities, but Dow has nowhere near the consistency or composure. Kennedy different, when time allows good disposal skills, but the job often call for just getting boot to ball, at least under our structures it does. Really hoping Crippa returns to extraction machine and our stoppage crew can create more space for improved distribution. Kennedy and presumably Hewett to provide link, defensive and blocking support with Walsh and Cerra providing the distribution. Ideally LOB steps up to be on the end of some of those chains.

Better kick, not better hands than Walsh.
Better mark, has massive hands
Apart from a replacement for SPS, the best thing about getting Cerra is that it shows we are still a destination club, even after a complete basket case of a season.
Adam stands 188cm / 87 kg, he ain't a flyweight either.
Well balanced mid with a beautiful kicking action, penetrating, precis & to team's advantage
Yup Adam & George will add considerable depth and support to oue engine room, now for Peter Ladhams hope Vossy is in his ear, we desperatly need a ruckman.

I only jump on here around this time of year and to be honest it's the same story every year. I honestly believe some posters are more worried about winning trade period instead of a premiership. We're here to win flags not trade periods. Yes it helps, but on occasions we need to pay overs to get what we need.
Most seem to have a good history of trades here, which teams in recent history have nailed trades and won flags and which haven't nailed trades and won flags......and go.

Another 10kg and he'll catch Petracca. He can live at my place, Ill fix that for him easy.

Every club both wins and loses trades. Few win flags.
Trading in the AFL is borderline impossible to judge anyway. You're talking about players whose form fluctuates week to week, season to season. Being traded for other players, or for picks who then translate into players. And because every draft is a new pool of players, the value of a draft pick changes year to year.
Further complicating it, some players are more valuable to certain clubs based on factors like list needs, or location/flight risk.
Sometimes you see a trade and go "Holy s**t that was terrible" or "Jeez that was a steal". Most of the time they're just thereabouts, and the relative success of the trade is tied into the success or failure of the team.
