Sumich was trading out Fyfe last month, now Cerra. He has NFI what he is talking about.
However we do and IMHO it's quite a dilemma if a trade of Cerra for Cripps is proposed. You can't have both and I'd be happy with either. Mundy won't be around forever and Cripps is a big bodied midfielder.
We let Neale go and got Hogan (I think?). That seemed like a fair trade at the time but it wasn't midfielder for midfielder. We all know in hindsight we should have kept Lachie but at the time we were desperate for forwards.
Hill for Acres appears to be like-for-like; neither have set the world on fire for their new clubs.
You could argue Ed Langdon is doing better for Melbourne than Aish currently but he was a middle of the road player at Freo.
If you can't get Cripps, no deal. If you can, you still have to fit his salary into our cap. It seems a big ask but the Slime managed to get Kelly. Any other deal is void and we're hanging on to Adam.
