DD, a straight swap Cripps for Cerra? I don’t think that’s realistic at the moment, Carlton would never entertain that.
Naughton probably ungettable and would require a lot more than just Cerra.
Could Logan McDonald be gettable, in a 3 way club swap that would send Cerra to a Victorian club where he is likely to want to go if he leaves, which I think he will.

Unfortunately I doubt it. With Franklin coming towards the final season or two in his career they have obviously drafted Logan with that in mind. Plus Logan stated he would be loyal to whichever club chose him and would remain a one club player. 

I think Cerra has been a late developer, his body is only just starting to look like a midfielders body, he was highly touted as a No 1 pick over there so they rate him highly. If we can’t land a big one we need to get a first and second round draft pick and get the next big thing in WA instead of selling the farm to bring them home after they have been drafted over east.

If Fremantle do get low draft pick/picks for Cerra possibly leaving I think they will look to on trade those picks for established players, Longmuir and the whole club for that matter won’t have the patience to draft some quality WA youngsters and wait four years for them to produce.

Freo could do worse than to look at Cam Zurhaar. A WA boy who would give their front half some real grunt for maybe a second or third round draft pick to NM in return plus I think he's out of contract at the end of this year.
