That and also his name is spelt Cerra which everyone knows stands for Certainly Everyone Really Reckons Away so obviously that plus the name of his dog, Fido, (Freo Is Dying Off) means he's definitely gawn. Bookmark it.

I think COVID has made it harder to say he is staying due to the fact that they can't go back and see their families anymore during breaks or injury layoffs as readily as before.
So my take on it is if our club could guarantee that we could manage his family time with visits while in Melbourne and flights back home when injured or on byes etc it would be easier to retain him.
But with lockdowns and restrictions he is not allowed to see his family even when in Melbourne , We could see Cerra as the first casualty of Covid .
And for that reason I think he maybe Gone.

Club should pay for the fam's flights to WA and give them free accommodation when they stay here.
Under present rules they would have to isolate for two weeks before they could even see him.

You know who I feel sorry for in all of this. JLo and his teammates who clearly know he’s gone but have to lie to the media when asked.
Make Cerra lie to the camera til the end of season. Grow some balls instead of hiding behind coaches and teammates.

Yeah, there has to be something culturally that draws people back to their hometown family and friends. Maybe we just like our families less. haha. Maybe we are more likely to make new friends? Who knows? I won't pretend I have any idea why, but I've never heard the word "homesick" used for any US college or professional athlete and it seems like any player at any club not in their home state is speculated to have a "go home factor". It's fascinating.
Not that it means anything but Ricky "Chicken" Nixon (who does have some good footy sources) thinks he is staying.
Where did you see that?
Ricky Nixon. I thought that particular Neanderthal had permanently disappeared into his cave and left us all alone!
A mate has him on Facebook and messaged and asked him. Like I said, not that it means much. Bloke thinks he's a celebrity, serious tickets on himself.
That's just crazy. The next thing you're gonna say is you don't have any car tires or colors. Madness, I tell ya!
No we don't but we regularly go to the shops in our thongs.

Being reported Bolton has re-signed with us, so that particular trade/swap is off the table...
When you compare AFL to the US there's about a 3% chance that you'll be drafted by your home town team in the NBA. Where as a Victorian playing AFL has a better than 50% chance of staying home. We're also drafting players much younger than in the US, and paying them much less money.
If someone is drafted in the top ten in America they're probably paying for their family to relocate at some stage too. Not really an option in Australia unless you sign a deal like Buddy's.

For all those breathing a sigh of relief that Bolton has re-signed I don't get it, he would still be better than at least half of the players that pulled on the Freo jumper last weekend. He is 22 with blistering pace, has won 2 GF's already and would have fit with our talented U23 players well.

He is a bit of a party boy who could easily turn into a lot of a party boy back in WA with his mates. We've seen that happen before.

because Richmond won't have the picks for a Cerra trade so the most likely way of it happening was a swap with Bolton (with or without extras). Probably don't have the $ now too. Was about Cerra more than Bolton for many of us

Nah it wasnt. Bolton is;
A) Match winning at this best, invisible at his worst
B) Already a multiple premiership player (less incentive)
C) Extremely expensive to bring over in picks and salary cap
People dont want Bolton because our history of trading players is predominantly negative and it had all the markings of a Hogan situation.
Richmond can afford the draft capital for Cerra without losing Bolton pretty easily

My point is Cerra is hiding while making his teammates/coach answer questions about his future.
Mundy during his 350th game had to answer the Cerra question.
Young during his rising star had to answer it.
Serong yesterday had to answer it.
Everybody who’s given an interview on tv or radio had to answer it.
JLo every week.
Where is Cerra?

I'd assume Cerra's being shielded by the club because they don't want too much pressure on him. Sensible.
