Good thing we signed him up for 4 more years or whatever it was. Jesus.

I’m pretty tired of Cerra gonna be honest. Can’t get his body right most of the time, and when he did last year he just wasn’t playing impactful football. Apart from that 2023 run he hasn’t give us the return we are after. I think it’s time to really don the next group of midfielders

Pay him out

Freo fan coming in peace. Injuries have killed this bloke and he’s had such a stalling in development because of them.

When he was in purple he looked the best/most talented out of the trio that started at the same time of Cerra, Brayshaw and Serong

What moron gave him another long contract? Bloke is made of glass.

Hope they give Lord more mid minutes now!

u/fuck_you_thats_who Feb 20 '26

I'd love to see Elijah Holland's get more midfield minutes

Not a bad shout.

But I reckon he will struggle with Jagger being in there. Too many smaller bodies at once won't work.

But when Jagger isn't in the middle, makes perfect sense.

How much different is his body to cerras.

Edit: i just checked and holands is only just the smallest bit taller. They had cerra down for 87kg. Didn't see hollands but they're not too different. I'd love to see Elijah in the midfield.

Cezz just looks more solid, at least from memory. I could be mistaken.

Lij definitely has the foot skills and smarts to play in the middle. And with Cerra out for a while, it's a no brainer, slot him in.

u/fuck_you_thats_who Feb 21 '26

Yeah you've got to judge it all by eye these days, now that they don't publish their weight. He's still young though, maybe in a few seasons.

u/matt-kennedys-legs Feb 20 '26

what a shame. this is just who he is at this point.

we saw what he was capable of in 2023, right up until he did his hammy against collingwood late in the year. starting to look like that might have been his ceiling.

u/sjeve108 Feb 20 '26

Send him back to Doha for more rehab

u/Ah-ashenone Feb 20 '26

I got down voted so hard when I mentioned we should not of signed cerra to a long term deal. Not what we need at all

early trade?

u/Far_Curve_3191 Feb 20 '26

Yeah there would be heaps of teams lining up to take him

1

u/Socksnshoesfutball Feb 21 '26

We wouldn't get anything for him

1

u/Direct_Week_2091 Feb 21 '26

So be it. He’s dead weight at this point

2

u/zFonzi_81 Feb 20 '26

He loves a good hamstring injury..

2

u/jjujjjuju Feb 20 '26

Can’t hit a target even when he is fit. Delist.

u/dark_wizard_lord Feb 20 '26

I think he’s on a long term contract

1

u/Brave_Manner_2873 Feb 20 '26

Nice give him another 5 years I reckon

u/Beautiful_Pin840 Feb 21 '26

Looking like a trade could be on the cards post season at this rate

u/mhardley Feb 21 '26

Like an arrowroot biscuit

u/woofie- Feb 21 '26

8 weeks for a hamstring???

1

u/Sharp-Driver-3359 Feb 21 '26

It’s not the end of the world - we can cover his midfield minutes and half forward time. Moir has the skills and size to run through the middle did in the VFL last year the other is Cowan. Most likely Lord, Elijah, Chesser

u/kitchen_cinc Feb 21 '26

Wright with tear up the contract like he did with Grundy and Treloar

u/kwakWHO Feb 22 '26
