List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency Part 10

[GhostofJimJess]

Maybe a slither of a chance in 27 , he seems well invested in life at gws no chance he’d break a contract

No doubt that he (Tom Green) is well invested now.

But who'd have thought three years ago that Bailey Smith, Christian Petracca and Daniel Rioli would be getting talked about in the trade winds? The latter is a father/son ffs.

And even if the lure of playing for a massive MCG-based club (with some family heritage) is not a major drawcard, the simple fact is that we can pay him way more than the Giants

Sorrento is the junior club of Tim Lunch. As an aside, Jake Aarts plays for Dromana.

Bring him back in I say

Got a lot of time for JA. Slept in the Punt Rd carpark while he was going for a spot

Dude always gave it a crack at least

 

[Stylo]

Isn’t Cuningham the guy they drafted with the pick we gave them for Yarran?

 

[tigerdan]

Common mistake but the word you are looking for is sliver. Slither is what snakes do...yes it's just an online footy forum and yes I'm pedantic.

You reckon that's bad. Wait until you see how many campaigners think that "his" is short for "he is".

Would of thought that’s ok

 

[THE_GUN]

So is it actually true cerra might be exploring his options? Would we look at him?

Pick #22 that we get from Graham



maybe

He’s young enough to be the midfielder we bring in for more senior depth. Cost will possibly be too high unless Carlton are looking to clear his contract from their cap. He’s not on big money though so that probably doesn’t make sense unless it was heavily backloaded.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Ken shoving up Hawthorn and why shouldn't he after Ginnevan's a-hole behaviour

It was a cheeky comment to a mate on twitter. Like far out. The whole issue is a massive over reaction. The world has gone completely soft

honestly cera isnt worth it hes an average mid with an above average reputation.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

If we pick him up, will that erase Chris Yarran from our history?

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Dusty is 34 and his body is broken.

Why the outcry?

Let him obtain his superannuation. He’s done enough for us.

Ive got no issue with him going to the suns. Hes done so much for us abd given so much, but like most people, its the way its all come about. If you want to go, just go. Don't do the whole retirement thing and then back flip.

[richoatthedisco]

cowardess!

Is that a female coward?

 

[Kyusss]

This!

Or the club has known for months he was struggling to get motivated and pondering a lifestyle change next year so they pulled the plug on this year retired him from Richmond sold a few shirts and here we are

If that's the case, then its shit by the club, we deserve honesty IMO

Either way, its a shit way to be handled.

yep so much this.

just be transparent with what is happening, don't treat us like idiots.

honestly cera isnt worth it hes an average mid with an above average reputation.

Cerra is an interesting one. He had his best year in 2023 when he got to full physical maturity, turning 24. But with all the injuries he went badly backwards in 2024. He is a Taranto and Hopper level player, similar speed(not fast,) better disposal, not as strong in the contest. But at his best he is a decent enough midfielder and is a great age.

It is a little difficult to see how he fits into our future though, given we already have Hopper and Taranto on long contracts, and we almost certainly have some premium young mids coming in the 2024 draft. Players that are likely to be more agile than Cerra. Cerra is possibly the type of player a team like Geelong might be looking to recruit, he might fit sensibly and usefully into their team. He can definitely play alright, he just seems to have a ceiling aorund that second level of "B Grade" midfielders.

The only way he could possibly fit into our team I think is if we lose Graham as expected, move Taranto into that high half forward role that really suits him with his 2 way running, and Cerra into our midfield with Hopper and 2 younger mids.

Itd have to be way unders. I can see the value in it but TT came across to avoid that hf role he got stuck in at GWS.

Yes I don't think Cerra would be high on Richmond's agenda. But if his guaranteed money wasn't too high, and maybe for a late 1st/early 2nd pick you would have to start thinking about him. But if that was the price you would have some other clubs interested in him anyway. Collingwood would be another club who may have an interest in this type of player. Melbourne perhaps?

We are probably better off trying to find fast and skillful types, but it is not easy to get the whole package in one midfielder.
