Now that Lyon won’t be blooze coach, Cerra will 100% sign with Carlton

let’s focus on trading Narkle and using our excellent draft picks for the draft

I wonder if that dynamic played a role.

I was watching Footy Classified last night and Lyon looked as though he was hedging a little

When I hear this - I think dan hannebery - we dont want a dan hannebery clogging our list (and taking the spot of a potential young gun with upside). Swans are very smart and there'd be a good reason they're not going over the top to keep him. Players like him dont last much past 30 and have a huge drop off with injuries, speed - the game will pass him by pretty quickly.
Why? Because they both played for the Swans and similar age? They are not similar.

Hannebery played 15 games with his last year at the Swans. He averaged 18 touches a game (down from 24 the year before, which was down from 30 the 2 years before that). His tackles had dropped form 5 to 2.5, clearances from 5 to 2.4.
He was on a clear large decline.

Parker played 23 games this year. He averaged 27.9 a game which was a career high and 6.3 clearances which was 0.1 behind his career high on 2017. Along with making the AA squad and picking up 34 touches, 5 tackles and 8 clearances in the Elim final.

Not even close to the same. Parker was elite this year and putting up career numbers. Hannebery had injury troubles and was in a massive decline.
 
It doesn't sound like things are done with Cerra yet. Why would he still be meeting with other clubs if Carlton was a lock?

Matty Clarke didn't rule it out on the Road to the Draft podcast either.
I reckon we have definitely started some form of conversations with Cerra, Has met with and had zoom tours with multiple clubs in melbourne, wouldn't be surprised if we were one of them
 

Rabble....
The other Scott brother I'm predicting.
Oooh yes please. Scott will destroy what's left of Carlton and scowl his way through his million dollar yearly salary and leave Princess Park a smouldering ruin in about three years. Perfect.

Anything to keep him from taking Hocking's job too would be joy.

I'm not sure its possible to get the club in a worse state, It would be very impressive

Its a similar scenario - Sydney are trying to offload him because they know his best footy is behind him and they're investing in their young group coming through. Its exactly what they did with Hanners - its a smart moneyball play.

Hannerbery and Parker play similar midfield roles that is taxing on the body and even though Parker wasn't injured this year - guaranteed he's been banged up - he's a similar age profile and at that age these types of players are more prone to injuries.

He has no upside - he's played his best footy he's been good since 2015 - he's peaked and is due to decline. We may get a good year out of him but why pay him $600k to be another slow player in our already ageing midfield - all our mids looked banged up and slow this year. I'd rather we didn't fill a list spot with an expensive ageing midfielder when that spot could go to a new young player at a lot less $ with more upside and potentially a 10 year player
 
Why would anyone want to seriously go to Carlton? The joint is an absolute rabble at the moment. The hotel quarantine in Vic has been run better than that football club. You'd be silly to go there
Probably why Cerra has gone from a "certainty" to having tours with other clubs lol

The way they treated Teague would have scared a lot of people off and if it didn't, it should have. Absolute butt hole of a place.
 
Depending on what gws do I reckon it’s extremely possible

If GWS don't use pick 2 which becomes for on Callaghan supposedly on this top 4 scenario we and we are banking on that we may as well trade for pick 2 GWS gets pick 3 if they do not want a player in that top four.

We are basically saying trade for pick 3 because GWS are not going to pick one of the supposed top four but what if GWS do a separate trade with another club? There would not be that much in a 2 versus 3 and GWS will want to get value. We just want to get who we want so we may as well trade with GWS and Gold Coast if it comes to that so GWS gets pick 3 and we get pick 2 if all parties are happy that way we get who we want which is the main thing at least or someone better at a price we are willing to cover.

I can't see the point with flirting with this situation on if a club does this or not when we are hardly ever in this situation to take this opportunity if it is what we want and suits us most and other clubs are happy to trade for their purposes. The only thing is if GWS trade 2 to get 3 and extra can they trade pick 3 again for something else if it suits them or does AFL HQ run a police state in this regard?

Parker is the type that will slow down very quickly. Swans are very smart operators/
