Adam Cerra Biography

Thursday, 3 March 2022
Adam Cerra explains the reasons he chose Carlton as his club of choice when leaving Fremantle.

"They were really young and stacked with talent. Some of the players who are coming back from injury now, that weren't even playing much last year, they just add to the group and its depth," Cerra said.

"Hearing about the group and the boys, they seemed really motivated. With all of the changes, to be able to join Carlton now, you feel like you're a part of it and building it from the ground up."

Carlton officially secures the services of Adam Cerra, with Fremantle receiving Carlton's pick No.6 and a future third-round selection.

"With Adam, we're welcoming a real classy on-baller whose best football is still to come. He?s rarely missed a game at senior level since stepping into the AFL environment as an 18-year-old. He knows where to run to get the footy and when he gets it, good things happen," Blues list manager Nick Austin said.

"We were really keen to bring him to our football club for everything he brings to the table. He sees the game really well, he's a student of the game and he has a real drive within himself to continue to get better."

Griffin Logue says he will try to convince in-demand Fremantle teammate Adam Cerra to sign a contract extension.

"I've never seen a man hit more opposite foot passes lace out to the forwards while in traffic," Logue said about Cerra.

"Anyone would like to play with him as much as possible. I'll probably try to get into his ear and try to get him to stay."

Tuesday, 26 January 2021
Adam Cerra is poised to move into a more prominent inside midfield role in 2021 after an impressive pre-season that has seen him add strength and build his fitness base.

Wednesday, 5 September 2018
Adam Cerra signs a new two-year contract extension to remain at the Dockers until the end of 2021.

"I’m really excited for the coming years, we are a young group and it was really exciting when we were playing well and I’m sure we will continue to build on that," Cerra said.

"I’ve made a lot of really close friendships here, there was 10 of us drafted last year and I’m close with all those guys."

Monday, 9 July 2018
Adam Cerra earns the 2018 round 16 AFL Rising Star nomination after collecting 23 disposals against Melbourne at TIO Stadium.

Fresh from being the No.5 pick in the 2017 draft, Cerra has already become the subject of conjecture with media speculating about his future with the Dockers.

"You can't really have much control over that. They'll say what they think … so you can't get too built up on it," Cerra said about the AFL media.

"I'm loving WA, I'm loving Freo and I'm loving playing with such a young group of boys."

Wednesday, 20 June 2018
Adam Cerra insists he is happy at Fremantle, but won't look at signing a contract extension before the end of the 2018 season.

"I’m loving my time in Perth, loving my time at Freo and really enjoying football so that’s something I’ll more look to the end of the year to deal with but at the moment I’m just looking to focus on footy," Cerra said.

"I made that commitment at the start of the year."

Monday, 16 October 2017
Injuries are the only reason draft prospect Adam Cerra isn't in the conversation to be this year's No.1 pick, says Essendon great Darren Bewick.

In eight seasons as coach of the TAC Cup side Eastern Ranges, Bewick rates the classy midfielder the equal of any player he's mentored.

"Adam just has a great understanding of the game and his skills are at a high level," Bewick said.

"He can play inside and out, he can play half-back, and I put him forward one day and he kicked 3.5 in a half.

"He's a (future) 200-game player that's ready to play AFL football now."
