Could North Melbourne be the ideal landing spot for Fremantle midfielder Adam Cerra?
The 21-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and weighing up a move home to Victoria.
Veteran AFL recruiter Matt Rendell believes Cerra would fit in perfectly in the young Kangaroos midfield.
“You need to pay a big quid to get him out for a start … I would be going to North,” Rendell told SEN Flip.
“In two or three years, they’re going to be awesome if they can keep all of their players.
“Ben Cunnington’s got a couple of years left tops, they’ve got Luke Davies-Uniacke who’s young, they’ve got Jy Simpkin, Jaidyn Stephenson, Tarryn Thomas in the midfield. Will Phillips and Charlie Lazzaro
THE SNAG IN CARLTON’S PURSUIT OF CERRA
“Phillips is going to be a gun, trust me. His under 18s, he got from contest to contest as good as Matt Rowell and was a year younger. Give him a year or two.
“I think they’re going to have a super midfield here. I think they have a really good blend of in and out mids and I think Cerra could slot in beautifully.
“I suspect it won’t be next year, possibly the year after they’ll challenge for the eight and the year after definitely in the eight.”
