I'm also in the give Cerra a chance camp. He was front and centre in our turn around last year. He hit a purple patch and we flourished. He's got elements or other mids don't have. He started slow this year and I reckon was just starting to hit his straps when the first hammy struck. I don't think we should continue with all of Cripps, Hewett, Kennedy and Cerra, but I don't think Cerra is the one to go. Unfortunately, I think Kennedy would be my pick of those 4 to move on. Or at minimum, be kept only as a backup should one of the 3 go down. We are simply too immobile with all of them.

It might seem a little bit mental, but most of those names are in different roles. With that in mind, I would be hell bent on getting Bo Allan with our first pick in the draft. Then cross my fingers that one of the talls (Whitlock, Mraz, O’Farrell, etc) were there before we pick the first Camporeale.

Is there anything of value we could get from Freo? Maybe a second round pick, thus or next year?

Rob Inness is off to a flying start, he should fit in well at Carlton.
Callum Mills has a hamstring injury from training and may not play the GF if they make it, he has been ruled out for next week already.
I wouldn't hold my breath that he comes to us and does wonders, injury prone players will always find a way to get injured.
But a change is as good as a holiday they say, fingers crossed.

Whats everyone think of Martin being delisted? Geez i would have like to have tried to trade him. But i can also understand they wont give up much and we are doing the right thing by him.

But we are such a nice club. Wish we were a bit ruthless sometimes and not give players away. Other way around, and we would have been made to pay for him.

Apparently no trade value as his body is shot

Barring any surprises, three of these guys won’t be with us next year.

There’s an obvious three… it’ll put a dint in the culture, but at the end of the day, “the best ability is availability”.

We’ll start next season with at least 10 players on zero games - 11 if you include Binns.

Can't disagree with any of the departures. Akuei the only one that I would have liked to see given a little bit more time, but such is the nature of list management now. 3 seasons is about the limit. Kind of player you could see have a breakout VFL year and get another chance. Hopefully picked up by the VFL program.

I can't recall a player that offered so much potential but rarely delivered.

If he plays more than 15 games next season with another team I won't be happy.
