If true, then they may lose out in gaining a maximum deal Melbourne
Yeah look there is no way we let go one of our two Coleman medallists to get a 28 year old midfielder. That just simply won’t happen. Not in any world. Key position players are so much harder to get as all clubs know.
Charlie, Harry, Weitering, Cripps, Walsh, TDK are off limits. We want to improve the team while we are in a premiership window, not reduce it. If Melbourne don’t want picks and maybe a player like Cerra (though I’d be hesitant to part with him given his age and scope) then we sit back and either bow out of the race for him or we wait and see how untenable that situation has become. If he can no longer front the playing group then there’s no way he can return to them
amicably next year. That hurts their trading power despite his contract status. Bottom line is if the trade requires any of the 6 untouchables above we abort and move on to other targets that improve us.
