He must be wondering what he’s gotten himself in to!  

Congrats to cats landing Cameron a ready made ff... When u include Lynch going to the tigers after the won a flag.. not to mention Daniher going to to the lions a prelim team...is this what free agency was designed for to allow successful clubs to raid the best talent ... grant it the lions have climbed up the ladder..  something isn’t right ...

That’s the issue bottom clubs will pay overs to attract players... the system is actually working against bottom teams even more so!

GWS matched so Geelong has to trade for Cameron.

GWS has sent Zac Langdon to West coast for 2020 pick 54.

And GWS has sent that pick 54 back to Freemantle for Jesse Hogan. Effectively Langdon out, Hogan in. A far cry from Freo paying pick 6 and 23 for Hogan only two years ago.

Oleg Markov has made his way from the Tigers to the Sun for a future 3rd round pick.

Adelaide haven't matched St Kilda's bid according to trade radio with Crows set to receive a second round compensation pick currently 23.

Expect to see some questionable trade in the Crows favour from the Saints.

Dunstan for pick 85.

Why would they not match it if that’s all they’re getting? They probably could’ve got more by trading him. Odd decision.

I think his drug bust completely stuffed his trade value (and his salary expectations). A second rounder is the most they could expect so Pick 23 is probably the best they could hope for in the circumstances.

You aren't going to match a bid if you don't want to keep the player at the club though.  

Clearly pick 23 and Dunstan for  Crouch and say pick 85 is better than trying to do  a trade with the Saints who aren't going to cough up a first rounder for Crouch.

You take that risk and force a trade that benefits your club more. 

What’s the point of the system if no one ever matches?

Not if you really want that player to go for Salary Cap room or perhaps cultural reasons.  

Saints have now officially showing interest in Adam Treloar. 

 

Saints loading up for a flag tilt. Fair play to them for attracting and securing established talent. Would gladly take every player they’ve traded in over the past 12 months. Let’s see if it pays off in the next few years or if they crash and need another rebuild. They’ve definitely gone past us now.

Yep. They've done extremely well.

About to add Jack Higgins also.

The Saints position is a really good example of what you can do if you manage your salary cap well and recruit well. they've got a really clear understanding of how they want to play and they're recruiting accordingly. 

I think they're really only lacking some polish off half back and they should be ready for a serious flag tilt

Brad Hill reported on $900k?

Stef Martin bound for the Western Bulldogs. 

As per AFL website article the Giants are demanding a mid first round pick from the Bombers for Caldwell after being selected at pick 11 and putting two years worth of development into him. Perhaps I have a degree of shadenfreude when it comes to Essendon but this is music to my ears. Their behaviour and demands when it comes to the trade period is bordering on ludicrous and has done for years, its nice to see some pressure applied back to them.
