News Adam Cerra nominates Carlton

[teknodeejay]

Will work very well with Walsh. Puts a lot of pressure on Dow now, especially with Hewett also.

SPS is right to move. He will be 8th in line for a midfield spot.

 

[Fat Kent]

Pick 6 (8) and maybe a swap of third and fourths if we're feeling kind or walk him through the national draft.

Walk him through the national draft to Norf or the Hawks?

North wouldn't take him. The risk would be the Hawks using pick 5 (7) on him but it would be unlikely.

North and Hawks aren't picking him in the ND or they would have already been in the conversation.

 

[HaydossJ]

Can't wait. Hybrid, two-way runner - perfect suit for the modern game.

Last 4 games this season:

27.0 disposals
4.3 clearances
7.2 i50s (2nd in AFL)

I think we will hand over something on top of pick 6, and Jon Ralph makes valid points in the article.

But it does seem to be written in the vein of 'Here are my many arguments for why Carlton should pay more than pick 6 for Cerra'. Which is an unusual article to write, is it not?

I don't really buy the media bias thing, but this kind of feels like it was ghost written by Peter Bell and David Walls.

TL;DR - article is in West Australian, so I guess the angle makes sense.

It’s interesting seeing what the various media outlets think will be the gist of the deal, nothing more than that though (and I’ve been guilty of being reactionary to them in the past)

Barrett, Rendell and SOS were all adamant pick 6(8) should be enough by itself, so not all media is banging the 6 + extras drum

 

[Penetrator]

4 mids have made the last two U22 team of the year. We will have 2 of them

 

[blueycarlton]

My vague recollection of that draft was Paddy Dow was very highly rated by most. Just hasnt progressed as most thought.

Dumb Carlton coaches would have turned Cerra into a Dow.
Now Voss has the chance to uno the damage and turn Dow into a Cerra.

 

[Cripptonite]

Good to get another classy midfielder to the club.

In terms of a deal, SOS said it perfectly on trade radio. Offer pick 6 alone, and wait for Freo to accept. If they don’t then we take him at Pick 6 in the National draft. No chance Hawthorn or North pick him up in the National draft.

If we give up anything further beyond steak knives, then we are pushovers.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Doch used to get his hands on plenty too!

I haven’t added Doc to any best 22 I’ve tinkered with the last couple weeks, just want him to be ok for now, that’ll do me

If/when he’s back in action though, I’d get him rock hard fit and play him on a wing

 

[RPCB]

Should've drafted Cerra in the first place.........was always going to be a more naturally complete footballer than Dow.

 

[Faz 2000]

Cerra is a good player. Hope we get him across without being fleeced and he continues to develop.

I thought he’s who we would get in the draft, too, fwiw.

We’ll probably supply 100 kilos of Kobe Steak to go along with those steak knives as well

 

[bmaurizio]

Yup he was my choice too , let’s hope Dow develops to be at least a consistent contributor.
There’ll be pressure on Paddy now, to to deliver the type of footy one would expect of a p3, if Vossy can achieve it, we’ll be set up for a strong campaign 2022.

 

[Kwality]

This sort of ridiculous post is exactly why people here have no idea how to value a player...

SPS was a top 6 pick with 5 years development and the ability to ride bulls. One top 5 pick is not even close to enough.

SPS has not got the upside that Cerra has:

AFL Tables - Sam Petrevski-Seton - Stats - Statistics

&

AFL Tables - Adam Cerra - Stats - Statistics

 

[Heres Waite]

Yeah SOS would of traded pick 7 for Kristen Jacksch, Mark whiley and Blaine Bokehurst
Austin has done a pretty good job so far

Umm ... SOS did make that exact trade and was the one receiving the pick 7. Great trade for SOS.

[StandByyourMan]

2nd rounder get's it done. If we get bent over, I will be sending an extremely terse letter to the Club.

if Freo hold their ground, we walk him to the PSD and focus our effots on The Bont with the top 5 pick we get for SPS.

Best thing I’ve read in a while. Thank you!

construction currently ongoing to build an overflow structure out back of the temple of should..........

 

[BlueTongue]

There's a bit of a difference between negotiating a first round pick for the player and him dropping into your lap though.
What if the Player Hawks want is gone by pick 5? Cerra might be the next best player available from their point of view.

SPS upside is ridiculous. The question isn't whether he has an upside it's whether he'll actually get there.

How did you think showing stats from each player was proof of one having more upside than the other? Lol
