If Cerra was always leaving due to wanting to be in Victoria, then ending up with Picks 6, 8, 19/22, Clark and Brodie is good work. With their list and the way it's being built, they're doing a great job of it.
Not really as you will be using these picks (8) ans what ever they get to replace the players they have lost with no guarantee to be as good
pick #19 is the bonus for the salary dump but i would question with Lobb & Cerra out of the team where they will finish on the ladder
They could be just trading their 2022 2nd rounder #25 (example) for pick #19 this year and taking a $500k salary dump
For Freo to win this trade Brodie needs to become a player
Whilst Gold Cost is being looked at as a fail just need to remember this
