The 2012 trade period finished not with a whimper, but with bang. Not only were an assortment of players on the fringe and outer finding new homes, but perhaps the biggest trade of all – Kurt Tippett, didn’t occur due to the previously reported shock announcements from AFL House. But, as the plot thickened for [...]

Trade Period Final Week: Final 48 Hours Wrap – Chaos reigns as Tippett trouble overshadows fringe trades

Trade Period Final Week: Day 3 Wrap – Stevens deal done; Adelaide reaches Tipping point
In a day marred with controversy, there was still some action to be had on the trade tables as we countdown with two days remaining in the 2012 trade period. The AFL has launched an official investigation into Adelaide’s last contract with on-the-move forward Kurt Tippett after the Crows board revealed they had come [...]

Trade Period Final Week: Day 2 Wrap – Hickey and Hombsch head home
After the tepid stalemate that was Monday, the trade rivers began to flow today – but the floodgates haven’t opened just yet. Two trades were done today as the Saints got one of the two big men they were aiming for, and Port Adelaide pulled a surprise coup to snatch two players from the clutches [...]

Trade Period Final Week: Day 1 Wrap – No progress for big men
The first day of what we expect to be a frenzied final week has concluded, but it was a case of all quiet on the trading front today as clubs assembled their decks. The main news today was in fact a case of no news, in two cases. The first was that after rejecting [...]

Trade Period Week 2 Wrap: Free agency done, chaos to come

Free Agency Wrap Day 4 – Chaplin move finalised, Demons snag Byrnes
Day 4 of free agency was a bit more lively than the past couple of days, with clubs re-signing and searching as the beginning of the trade period looms. Two players officially found new homes today, while others expressed and changed their interest. A key signing for the Dockers leads the ‘hands off’ section today. [...]

Free Agency Wrap Day 3 – Pearce docks in another port
Day 3 of free agency has concluded, and it was another quiet day from AFL HQ. One more move was finalised today, with Port Adelaide choosing not to match Fremantle’s offer for midfielder Danyle Pearce. Power football manager Peter Rohde said today that to match the offer Fremantle put up was not an option. [...]

Free Agency Wrap Day 2 – The ‘Q-stick’ becomes a Magpie
The second day of free agency and, as expected, was quieter than the flurry to begin the period yesterday. Only one player officially moved as we wait on clubs to respond on offers from yesterday and table future offers. After quitting the West Coast Eagles yesterday, Quentin Lynch officially found a new home at the [...]

Free Agency Wrap Day 1 – Knights the Tiger, Goddard the Don
The first day of free agency in the AFL is done and dusted, with two players officially making moves and others having deals put on the table. The biggest story of the day, and possibly the biggest story that will happen this whole week of free agency, was the move of champion St Kilda player [...]
