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

[boncer34]

You do know Carlton are going to appoint a coach by the time the trade period starts?

Rest of your post is gibberish really.

Who's it gonna be?

Melbourne have really shot up in discussions for Cerra recently havent they, According to Jon Ralph they are now his preferred destination... while also claiming that there is no way the Dees get the deal done.

We want Picks that will help us get Neale. Not Picks around 18 haha! Will be fascinating to see how they can get it done

Clarkson

I've missed this.

We won't give 8 for Saad, we can just use it on him in the draft.

Well essendon didn't ask for two firsts did they? my point is we don't need to offer more than pick 6 because he would get to 6 in the national draft. We accepted 8 for saad because we got 40 something back which is better than just picking him up at 8. Hopefully u understand now

Thats why they aren't gonna get it done. Just think its interesting that Melbourne is now the preferred destination, If he is to believed

Clarkson

I'm pretty sure he has said no to Carlton twice

The preferred destination narrative is just a smokescreen that Cerra agreed to join Carton weeks, if not months ago.

And what makes you say that, You're own personal wish that he is gonna come to Carlton. Nothing is set in stone mate. I agree that he will most likely go to Carlton but to say that is 100% is delusional

Not true sorry mate.

Yes, and Oliver agreed to join Carlton as well.

With all due respect I agree with you nothing is set in stone. The logic Melbourne cant get it done also makes no sense - they never dick us around, in reality I cant remember any side they have dicked around in the last 5 years. But I do agree Melbourne need a 3rd party. However, without a coach Carlton are just not an attractive destination. There is no guarantee pick 6 is on the table - again media group think.

Freo walk an interesting tightrope if the want Neale back. I dont think this is done and dusted.

I'm not saying it can't get done, that was apart of Jon Ralphs report. Melbourne can definitely pay the price somehow. I would still like to see my boys take a punt for Cerra but all signs point to us grabbing Narkle and hitting the draft

 

[Juice030103]

Dont blame him. Melbourne have a terrific side that i think will contend for at least 5 years. Hope they can get the deal done for him

 

[sherrif]

Plus there is no certainty Carlton are prepared to offer pick 6. Not if you go on the Saad deal, one minute they are in, next day they are out, then they are back in again. I would much rather deal with MFC who have proven time after time to be more reliable at getting their man 1st time around.

As I said earlier I think Melbourne is much further down the track than the media give them credit for - not that I was aware of JR's comments. This is not a done deal. I think Melbourne will reignite a few conversations from last year.

There is no way that Carlton won't offer Pick 6 and more. People forget that they stuffed up as they could have had Tom Papley. Cerra rounds out the midfield and allows Cripps to play forward. He is perfect for them.

Does that mean the last place he ends up is the Dees

 

[Gratees]

Based on the medias track record... Yes

Melbourne have some cheap trading cards; pick 33, 42, 52, future 1st, Weideman.

Not to mention an ace (Jackson) if he requests a trade. They wouldn’t let him go unless he asks to go Though.

Some clubs want points; Collingwood, Western Bulldogs.

I’m sure Melbourne will find a way if he nominates them. It will need to be inventive though.

Carlton will have a coach by late October/ early November.

No need to stress.

What about brayshaw and 2022R1

Idk, I didn't say they couldn't get it done, that was the report. I'm also not a Freo fan so I can't tell you whether or not that is acceptable or not. If Melbourne really want him they will find a way

An unproven first year coach (maybe) and an unstable board.

Time to stress.

Very interesting you mentioned part of the Saad deal - super straight forward was it?. Maybe you would have been better quoting the whole deal. Maybe they did pay less? I actually agree with you had Saad been contracted it would have been 8 plus more. But he got to the club of his choice.

I think Melbourne will extract Pick 13 out of us and will top it up with a later pick of their own.

Dude, I know that wasn't the whole deal. I chose to post the crux of the deal rather than the intracacies. So Carlton also got pick 48 and an exchange of unused picks. That's pretty much meaningless.

Plenty of optimism around Collingwood who are in this exact position.

We’ll be fine.

Cerra has the potential to be in the Petracca/Oliver class in a few years time and why were going to struggle to come up with a direct trade which reflects this value. He would take Melbourne's midfield to another level.
