AFL Trading: Day 2
Nothing official today but a lot of talk. Tarrant looks to be gone, but which WA team wins his services is not known yet.
Trevor Nesbitt, CEO of the Eagles said, "I was very surprised he was even thought about as being traded". No Eagles player were mentioned by Nesbitt, and although there was a rumour about Fletcher it seems he isn't being traded. "I doubt there will be any of our premiership players traded", said Nesbitt.
Fremantle could have a lot of trade activity later in the week. Crowley and Gilmore are some players mentioned who could go to Collingwood in a trade for Tarrant. The Magpies had success before when they acquired an underrated Dockers' defender called Clement, and the Dockers now have a surplus of defenders that may interest Collingwood.
Other players linked to Fremantle are Dean Solomon, which is somewhat surprising, as well as Brisbane's McGrath and Moody. The Dockers could be moving Polak and Medhurst, if they don't find a trade for Polak then he could enter the preseason draft. Richmond want Polak, but apparently don't have a lot of salary-cap room and need to trade some players.
Geelong could still be after Bradshaw but it may be too late as Brisbane are reported to be increasing their contract offer to him. Geelong's Steve Johnson could be going to Essendon or Collingwood. Jason Johnson could be staying with Essendon and may have been offered the two-year deal he was after.
Thornton and Russell have left Carlton, although the Blues continue to try to change their minds. Hawthorn and the Power are still their most likely destinations.
Plenty of Peter Everitt news, with the Swans, Hawks and Saints all with different versions. The Saints may or may not have offered a 2nd rounder for Everitt, and it seems that the Swans' biggest offer has been a 3rd rounder. Hawthorn did ask for Malceski. But it could all be sorted out soon as some reports have Sydney ready to trade their 2nd rounder, which Hawthorn would probably take.
The Saints are having trouble during trade week as they don't have a coach to acquire the players for. But as early as tomorrow there could be a decision, or it could be at the end of the week.
