Richmond has done okay: Dion Prestia, josh caddy, Toby Nankervis Freo also: Hamling, Hill, McCarthy, Kersten Saints couldn't get any interest for McCartin, so stuck with the brittle cant play loser. They didn't really play in the draft but set themselves up nicely for next year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstanley Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 3 hours ago, BookMan said: Trade wrap for SYdney? Gone are Tommy Tradebait... He was ranked 4th or 5th best midfielder for us...and u can't keep em all... It's a loss, but not a great one. heeney is to come into the midfield and supposedly callum Mills also...Though they could be reluctant to move him from down back Nankervis...No great loss... Xav Richards. He was offered a contract. No one else wanted him. He can stay at Sydney or go into teh draft. Sydney have picks 9, 19, 46, 49 & 52 Not sure how much difference pick #9 to #14 makes...but there it is Overall...not much of anything. Not really sure we were looking for any particular player. We have all the required players on the list, just some need to step up and perform. I'd believe that talk of trading Tippet out to save some $$ was on the mark...and i'd have been okay with that.. We still have that idiot Sam the Gangly Giraffe on out list...Injured more than he plays....and Alex Johnson should make a comeback next year... If the Swans wanted pick 9 instead of 14 there must be a player in the academy that they are after. Their thinking would be that he will disappear before pick 14 It will be interesting who they pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Make of these what you will, but for the life of me I fail to see how the Saints got given an A+ They got 1 good player in Steele and the Hawks first round pick for 2017. Brown is a list clogger like his brother at West Coast. Trade verdict: How did your club fare during the trade period? St Kilda In: Jack Steele (GWS), Nathan Brown (Collingwood), picks 23, 36, and 2017 first-round pick (Hawthorn)Out: Picks 10, 68, and 2017 second-round pick Win: A mighty hand at the 2017 draft, more hard-bodied inside midfielders to build depth, an experienced key defenderLose: A presence in round one of the 2016 draft 2016 draft picks: 23, 36, 50, 86, 104 What couldn’t they get done? Nothing. The Saints were stealth-like through the trade period, getting involved in deals where they were required and emerging better off each time. Nathan Schmook’s verdict The biggest winners of the trade period after working with a desperate Hawthorn on a swap of picks. The Saints' crop of youngsters means they could stomach a slide from round one to round two this year, and they'll take two first-round selections into next year's draft, giving them an opportunity to trade in experienced guns or continue recruiting quality young players. They are also well poised now to start using free agency more aggressively. Rating: A+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Stevens will take you nowhere. Saw him close up at West Coast and he couldn't get a regular game for the Bulldogs when they had a healthy list. A depth player at best IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Seems Cochrane was able to keep this one quiet... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/gold-coast-captain-gary-ablett-asked-to-be-traded-to-geelong/news-story/a2199232f48b1072ad8d0a1cb97d84e4?utm_content=SocialFlow&utm_campaign=EditorialSF&utm_source=HeraldSun&utm_medium=Twitter GARY Ablett asked Gold Coast to be traded back to Geelong this month. But Geelong says the Suns instantly rejected that bid and Ablett will honour the final two seasons of his lucrative deal. The Cats confirmed tonight Suns captain Ablett was keen to return home over the trade period if a deal could be struck. He was keen to return to Geelong to be closer with his family, despite having $2 million and two years still remaining on his current deal. Cats head of football Steve Hocking says the Cats would have loved to have Ablett back, but never seriously felt it was viable prospect given the Suns’ commitment. “Gold Coast was very clear on the fact he was their player and will continue to be their player. He had just signed a three-year deal earlier in the year,’’ Hocking told theHerald Sun. “They were very clear on that and shut it down very quickly to Gary. We respected their opinion right from the word go. “It was him looking to come back to the club and it was all to do with him and the Gold Coast. It didn’t drag on too long, it was shut down by the Gold Coast.” Geelong has some salary cap space but not enough to afford Ablett’s $1 million a year deal. If he was to move to the Cats he would need to take a massive pay cut or have Gold Coast pay much of his remaining salary. It is the latest blow for the Suns, who have just lost Jaeger O’Meara and Dion Prestia to Melbourne clubs. Ablett will likely lose the captaincy outright over the off-season, likely to share it with Tom Lynch or potential allow him to take it over." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 5 rounds include Hawthorn, Geelong, Freo, Adelaide & Carlton - though the 3 'harder' games are all away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of potential and was hardly done by being dropped for the finals. Xavier Richards...What a goose... Requesting a trade half way through the period..then deciding to stay on...only to have his offer withdrawn. he payed the GF, but the guy is there only out of desperation....Sam Reid and Towers should fill his role this year. Hiscox was a surprise in some ways, not in other. A Sydney academy prospect the guy had elite endurance but couldnt get the hang of the game....Given one chance this year he looked a bit lost. Anyway....3 players out, plus Tommy Tradebait...and some players coming in from the draft. Doesn't look like there are any early Academy players Sydney will be taking.... Sydney has 8 friday night games?? Good grief! Maybe the AFL likes the ratings they bring.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
