He did that a couple of times last week vs Brisbane.
You obviously don’t watch the Blues or Cerra a lot. Which makes your obsessive hate even stranger.
Crisp and
Crisp and Adams arrived at Collingwood as 19 year olds. Bit of a stretch to say they are "top up" players. Frampton is not best 22. WHE I will give you.
Nah, I watched that game. He didn't run down anybody - he did lay some tackles though (like he always does).
Have nothing against Cerra - certainly not hate.

You said traded in players not top up players. Crisp debuted in 2012 and played 3 seasons with the Lions before starting with the Pies in 2015. Adams debuted in 2012 as well and started with the Pies 2014. So they weren't second year players.
Again, strange that you would single out one subcategory of one aspect of the game to justify your position of Cerra
Strange
Howe, Frampton/Cox, Hill, Mitchell, Adams, Crisp, McStay, Lipinski, WHE
Doesn't matter when they were acquired, it wasn't part of your initial rhetoric
Yeah fair enough and I don't mean to be splitting hairs with you, but in some ways getting a 19 or 20 year old is pretty similar to drafting anyway - because you are putting all the development into them from a young age. Crisp played a grand total of 18 games for another club, Adams played 30. They are not really the definition of traded-in players. Likewise, either is Docherty. Someone like Saad on the other hand, had played over 100 games when recruited to Carlton so the development has mostly been done somewhere else.
And you two squeal about trolling and baiting, while posting this content
And how the hell else do you justify a position on a player except to single out an aspect of their game?
Just one aspect, seriously?
Cerra and Brayshaw were both drafted in the same year for the Dockers so I had a chance to watch them both closely - the difference couldn't be more stark. One player (Cerra) was more skilled while the other (Brayshaw) did everything he could to drag his side over the line. The aspect of Cerra that I highlighted was that he never performed a chase down tackle - the reason this was so noticeable was that a guy the same age and from the same draft would do 2 of these every game!
I hate to break it to you Arrow but Cerra is a cruiser. Yes, he's highly skilled. Yes, he will no doubt play 200 games and be a good AFL player but he's not going to will your team over the line. In my opinion he doesn't give 100 percent - it has nothing to do with him leaving the Dockers. There are other players who have left the Dockers that I tend to like because they actually do give 100 percent effort (Guys like Lloyd Meek for example).
My favourite non-docker player by the way is actually Mitch Robinson.
So now you want to compare Cerra to just one player, in respect to chase down tackles
All players have deficiencies, some more than others
Right now, Cerra would still walk into your side, chase down tackles or not
Yeah, he definitely would. And he'd walk into any side in the AFL. I said before that he was lazy and that is unfair and the wrong choice of words. Look, he's definitely a good player. Let's just move on.

I’m bored of highlighting deficiencies
It’s been 10yrs of the same stuff.
After seeing they had 16 players 25+ on the weekend I’ve realised they might need to rebuild during the Tassie set up and might not be a serious contender to the back end of the 2030s
Which is quite disheartening to their supporters.
I’m putting on my positive pants and boosting morale.
The pressure is off now and see them regrouping and making a charge!!
Blues to redeem rd 23 and beat the pies by 7
McKay will kick 3+

I’ve got a feeling captain Cripps is going to make a statement.
Has felt a bit guilty picking up his 25k pay check the last couple mondays.
30+ 2+ goals for Cripps.
Not sure why guys 25+ is some sort of crisis. Doesn't that mean we have a large core of the side who should be hitting their peak and have plenty of footy left?
The issue is we need to add to what we already have, and there is still time to do it. I don't like how this year has been, no one who goes for Carlton does, but I wouldn't be throwing the baby out with the bathwater and giving up, when most of our best players have a lot of football left in them.

Freo gang on fire tonight, as if they haven’t been in the same cycle since their franchise was created. I thought everyone in WA was in bed by 9:30?
It's mainly just banter. You guys were unlucky with injuries tonight. Best of luck next week.
