List Mgmt. Pick #5 - Welcome Adam Cerra [Traded to Carlton for 6 & F3]

[summerthebat]

that’s not the quote, unless you heard it live, apparently he said pick 6 and a future pick for a later pick.

E.g. pick 6 and future 2nd for Cerra and future 4th.

All things considered, that’s probably what it will end up being.

As much as we’d love more, it’s probably what will get it done. I hope this can be sorted out ASAP.

Its moved a long way from 2 x first rounders which was touted as his value on here when he announced his departure.

There are 2 factors that drive draft position; quality and demand.

Also Erasmus being a bottom ager putting up huge numbers and already listed at 188cm 85kg.

How Carlton think pick 6 only for Cerra and having an aneurysm about anything more than that is beyond me.

 

[Purple Jesus]

**** you Adam and **** you Carlton.

 

[Joose]

fu** you Adam and fu** you Carlton.

No point in getting angry with Cerra and Carlton. Blame our List Management people.

From what I heard Cerra made it plain that he did not want to go interstate yet our people took the gamble. This sort of thing will continue to happen unless we prioritise local talent.

Lets not forget that of our top end young talent - Sturt, Young, Serong, Brayshaw, Chapman, Henry and Logue - more than half come from Victoria so we are going to have to cross this bridge again in the near future. I am fully expecting to lose another 2 to the "go home" factor.

Easy. The pick 6 might end up a good player, it I have every belief the other pick will 100% land us a beauty. It’s how Freo operate!

I wish Logue wanted to go east.

 

[Joose]

I wish Logue wanted to go east.

Logue will be fine. Had a very injury - affected start to his career. A full season and he will be one of our best defenders

 

[freodog]

I always thought Cerra looked like he should be in a Carlton jumper. Maybe a premonition.

 

[Paracleet]

Cerra deal will be around 3/4 in draft index points terms I reckon. Not less than 5 anyway.

 

[wild side]

If the brains trust, and i use those words advisedly, pick Melbourne based kids this year, at the upper end of the draft, I'm ****ing done

 

[Cesoir]

I don't think I've ever seen as many people posting "if x happens, I'm done" as this year.

Even relatively (for us) rational posters.

Straight from the horses mouth, on video. He wants change from pick #6, as in pick #6 was too much and needed something to come back.

Lets see them carry it out.

It genuinely shits me everytime I see it.

I've done it before (in the Connolly and Schwab era). Got so sick of their BS propaganda, that I didn't renew. Of course the year was 2006 and we made finals for the second time in our history and won our first ever final. The next year I rejoined and my prediction (for 2006) happened - shite show, with Connolly finally sacked.

It bloody well better be. Anything less than pick 3 value and it would be beyond a joke. Put Cerra in this year's draft and you'd maybe take Horne-Francis 1st, but you'd be an absolute idiot not to take Cerra next with his exposed/proven form.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Idiots on Trade radio saying pick six and be happy with it or he should walk to the national draft.

Then proceeded to gloat about all the players ‘SOS’ traded in from GWS to Carlton while acknowledging that most of them aren’t even playing at all any more.

I’ll just add that SOS and Barrett are flogs.

Good call. 4th a junk and Carlton will probably use that for SPS junk

Win and they won’t. That simple. Be a destination club and not one to develop youngsters ala Ed Langdon

What grinds my gears the most, is that you NEVER see West Coast losing players that they don't want to lose. If they lose a player, it's on their terms!

 

[Square Peg]

I guess if a team from Moldova can beat Real Madrid away, Fremantle could become a destination club. Sport is that strange.

It's like they become addicts after arriving at West Coast.

The promise of success with actual proof of it happening in the past would help. You read about Ed just wanting success and being starved of it with us, well I guarantee that would go for almost all players.

This is so very true and that's why that elusive first Premiership can't come soon enough. We jut need one.
