Tohill has signed with Collingwood.

A look at Dandenong Stingrays and Melbourne Football Club Next Generation Academy prospect Toby Bedford.

The MFC welcomes a new indigenous player to the fold. I just hope that when he makes his debut for the club that we do better than Gold Coast on his debut with them - it was the game against Essendon at the Docklands when the Bombers kicked 15.4.94 to 0.1.1 in the first quarter.

I think it’s great acknowledgement for us.” – David Noble CARLTON In: Mitch McGovern, Will Setterfield, Alex Fasolo, Nic Newman, pick 71, 2019 3rd round pick (tied to Adelaide) Out: Nathan Kreuger (state-league player), Shane McAdam (state-league player), picks 26 & 28, 2019 2nd, 4th & 5th round picks Reaction: “To be able to bring in Mitch McGovern, Will (Setterfield) and Alex (Fasolo) through the door, we think we’ve done reasonably well.” – Stephen Silvagni COLLINGWOOD In: Dayne Beams, Jordan Roughead, picks 41, 44 & 57 (Fasolo compensation) Out: Alex Fasolo, picks 18, 56 & 75, 2019 1st round pick Reaction: “It’s wonderful to see a player of Dayne’s calibre return to the Holden Centre. He is an elite midfielder and we look forward to the impact his talent and experience will bring to our squad.” – Ned Guy ESSENDON In: Dylan Shiel, 2019 2nd round pick (tied to GWS), 2019 4th round pick (tied to Fremantle) Out: Travis Colyer, pick 9, 2019 1st round pick Reaction: “We had decided that we wanted to add another quality midfielder to our list and Dylan fit that requirement perfectly. He has very strong values that align with our team and club values, including a desire to continuously work to improve both on and off the field.” – John Worsfold FREMANTLE In: Jesse Hogan, Rory Lobb, Reece Conca, Travis Colyer, picks 14, 31, 43, & 65 Out: Lachie Neale, pick 6, 2019 3rd & 4th round picks Reaction: “Signing Jesse (Hogan) and Rory (Lobb) is an excellent result for Fremantle.

We’ll get some high-end draft picks and some really young talent and they need to come into the right environment.” – Craig Cameron GWS GIANTS In: Picks 9, 11 & 19, 2019 1st round pick (tied to Essendon), 2019 2nd round pick (tied to Carlton), 2019 4th round pick (tied to Gold Coast) Out: Will Setterfield, Rory Lobb, Tom Scully, Dylan Shiel, picks 14, 47 & 71, 2019 2nd round pick Reaction: “This is a difficult trade period for us, that’s obviously become apparent. We’ve obviously got a very talented list, and that talented list costs significant money.” – Dave Matthews HAWTHORN In: Jack Scrimshaw, Tom Scully, Chad Wingard, 2019 3rd round pick (tied to Port Adelaide), 2019 4th round pick (tied to Western Bulldogs) Out: Taylor Duryea, Ryan Burton, picks 15 & 35, 2019 3rd & 4th round picks Reaction: “I think you’ve just got to use everything available to you and work as hard as you can and create an environment where people can hopefully improve and develop.” – Graham Wright MELBOURNE In: Steven May, Kade Kolodjashnij, Braydon Preuss, picks 23, 28 & 62 Out: Dean Kent, Dom Tyson, Jesse Hogan, picks 36 & 46 Reaction: “We addressed three areas this Trade Period – a key defender in (Steven) May, a mature-body ruckman in (Braydon) Preuss and some run off half-back in (Kade) Kolodjashnij. Overall, we have addressed our list needs and improved our draft hand.” – Josh Mahoney NORTH MELBOURNE In: Jared Polec, Jasper Pittard, Dom Tyson, Aaron Hall, picks 47, 48, 49, 55 & 61 Out: Ryan Clarke, picks 11, 31, 62 & 68, 2019 4th round pick Reaction: “Obviously through this period we’ve got four players in.

It’s good times for the footy club.” – Cameron Joyce PORT ADELAIDE In: Scott Lycett, Ryan Burton, Sam Mayes, picks 5 & 15, 2019 4th round pick (tied to North Melbourne), 2019 4th round pick (tied to Hawthorn), 2019 4th round pick (tied to Adelaide) Out: Jared Polec, Jasper Pittard, Chad Wingard, picks 23, 30, 48 & 49, 2019 3rd round pick Reaction: “We’re potentially bringing in six players who we think can have an impact next year.

We’ve got a lot of good young top-end talent. We definitely feel we need to improve it over the next few years … but there’s definitely no sealing on where we can finish next year.” – Sam Power *All pick numbers accurate at time of trade

You can now discuss Jesse Hogan’s 2018 performance here.

Off to Hawthorn.

Deal done.

Some crappy advertising on heavy rotation.

The club has a high opinion of Harry Petty who was tossed to the wolves when not ready in his one AFL game against St Kilda. He was recruited as a key position defender who also played forward in his junior days. With Steven May coming to the club and Jake Lever set to return, it might be worth trying Petty up forward.

Hello. Looks like it’s been a relatively quiet night tonight. People have somewhere to go or is this the calm before the storm?

• The penultimate day of the trade period saw five players move clubs, with Gold Coast heavily involved. • The Suns lost midfielder Aaron Hall to North Melbourne for pick 68, a pick that was then traded to Adelaide for a future fourth round selection. • Pick 68 was then immediately on-traded by the Crows to Richmond for forward Tyson Stengle. • The Suns also traded away former top 10 draft pick Jack Scrimshaw to Hawthorn for an exchange of future selections. • Gold Coast landed Geelong defender George Horlin-Smith for pick 59. • Tom $cully officially became a Hawk, traded for a future fourth round selection (considerably cheaper than his original price almost a decade ago ?)

Holey Moley. I’ve had a long, hard day at work and came out of a meeting to check up on what was going on in the world of Jesse Hogan and realised that today is no different to yesterday, the day before and the day before that ... Today must be GRANDHOGAN DAY!!!

But Scully for a 3rd rounder is fair.

Carlton and Gold Coast have used their mature age entitlements with the former trading theirs and GCS keeping them. McAdam is off to Adelaide while the Suns have taken Corbett. Nathan Krueger (South Adelaide) is off to the Cats. Chris Burgess (West Adelaide) and Sam Collins (Werribee) also join Gold Coast. There are still others around worth consideration.

“Gold Coast and Melbourne should finalise a deal on Tuesday that sends Suns defender Kade Kolodjashnij to AAMI Park“. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-15/trade-wrap-eagles-stand-by-offer-for-kelly The suggestion confirms other reports that the deal for Kolodjashnij will be completed independently of any deal for Steven May.

Fox Footy Channel Wednesday @ 7.00pm.

• Two days remain in the AFL trade period and a few dominos still need to fall before the Wednesday night deadline. • The likes of Lachie Neale, Jesse Hogan, Steven May, Tom Scully, Dylan Shiel and Dayne Beams are all contracted players yet to land at their clubs of choice. • Collingwood however, re-signed defender Tom Langdon who turned down offers from Sydney and Fremantle to stay with the Magpies. • The Western Bulldogs got a trade done, bringing in Richmond forward Sam Lloyd for pick 64. • Carlton list boss Stephen Silvagni said his club remains open to trading pick one, should an enticing offer come their way. • With tomorrow the penultimate day of the Trade Period and with teams running out of time to get deals done, it is expected to be a busy one!

Didn’t Jake Spencer come from Townsville too?

How does that happen when Hogan is contracted to the end of 2019?

You did mention Jack Bytel’s injury history which has affected his draft credentials. His problem that he has a lingering back injury and has hardly played this season. You would need a good medical report to take him in the draft.

I was reading this article in the Age, and if what Peter Ryan and Michael Gleeson are saying is correct (and both are highly respected in the industry) then it would be very hard to arrive at a different conclusion

I hear that Scully arrived in Melbourne yesterday to tour Hawthorn’s facilities. Apparently told the media he was just “having a look around”.
