Now that the futures have been picked we can put names to the various picks and players that were traded in 2015, 2017 and 2018.

2015

Two trades - one with Gold Coast and one with GWS

Gold Coast

In

Pick 3, pick 10, pick 43 

Out

Pick 6, pick 29, future 2016 1st round

GWS

In

Pick 7, Bugg 

Out

Pick 10, 43, 64 (this pick was used along with others to match a GWS Academy Bid for Flynn, so I have not included in analysis)

In summary, if you knock out the pick 10s and the pick 43s as they came in and out in both trades this is the result

In: Oliver (4), Weideman (9), Bugg

Out: Callum Ah Chee (8), Darcy Tucker (27) (GC must have traded with Freo) and Will Brodie (9)

2017

In

Lever, Pick 35, Future 3rd Round

Out

Pick 10, future 1st round, future 4th round

NB Two trades took place in 18 which effect the original deal, Adelaide also traded a few times with Carlton in 17 and 18 

with st kilda, we traded adelaide's future 3rd (46), plus our second round pick (36) and we got back pick 28

Adelaide then traded our 4th round pick (67) via Carlton to St Kilda

In summary, if you include the 2017 trade and the eventual outcomes of the 2018 trades

In: Lever, Petty (37), James Jordan (33)

Out: Lachie O'Brien (Carl) (10), Liam Stocker (Carl) (19), Bytel (41), Parker(47) , Robbie Young (67)

2018 

The GC and Freo trade did not involve future picks so it is far less complicated

In: May, KK, Tom Sparrow (27)

Out: Hogan, Brett Bewley (59)

Summary of all trades (in order of best to worst):

In: Oliver, Lever, Weideman, May, KK, Tom Sparrow, Petty, James Jordan, Bugg,

Out: Hogan, Lachie O'Brien, Stocker,  Callum Ah Chee, Darcy Tucker (GC must have traded with Freo), Will Brodie, Bytel, Parker, Young, Bewley

Who knows how well KK, Petty, Jordan, Sparrow vs O'Brien, Stocker, Bytel, Parker, Young, Bewley will be, (I think Ah Chee, Tucker, Brodie and Bugg are depth players at best)

If you take all of them out

We got Oliver, Lever, Weideman and May for Hogan.  Take a bow Melbourne Football Club.

    Great work, thanks for the time and energy you put in.

    If I may add a small adjustment, in 2015 pick 29 which we traded to the Suns was used by them to pick up Joshua Schoenfeld at pick 34.

    This was pushed back 5 spots due to academy picks for Mills, Hopper, Kennedy, Hipwood and Himmelberg.

    Brilliant analysis. Beautiful eye for detail. You forgot to mention Jimmy Toumpas at the end of 2015 with Port Adelaide.

    I forgot to mention the Football Department didn't want Jimmy Toumpas to leave. What a sliding doors moment for him. I'm sad for him that it didn't work for him at Port Adelaide

    I find that very hard to believe.

    Jimmy was not part of the Dees future. Poor pick, poor development. Good Luck Jimmy wherever you are

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
