Forgotten participant tipped to unlock three-way deal sending Dan Houston to Collingwood

We have come to the top of the day’s play as soon as once more.

It has been one other fascinating day of buying and selling.

We did not have any gamers transfer at the moment, however some fairly hefty shuffling of picks.

SURELY tomorrow is the day we get some extra motion.

I will be again at 9am AEDT to steer you thru all of it.

Catch you then!

Hello Gus,

I do not imagine there can be any extra official strikes occurring tonight.

The progress on the three-way commerce tells me that’ll happen tomorrow at some stage.

Hello Banjo,

In line with all of the reviews we have seen, the connection seems past restore between Clayton Oliver and Geelong.

Nevertheless, Melbourne definitely appears to suppose it is not utterly damaged.

Simply how unhealthy it’s stays the million-dollar query actually.

Hello Why,

You make a wonderful level. Liam Baker is in the identical boat as Bailey Smith.

They’re each out of contract and underneath the quantity of years of service required to be free brokers.

Nevertheless, strolling a participant to the draft is seen as a little bit of a low transfer across the competitors, so groups want to not truly do it.

Within the case of Baker, the Tigers and the Eagles, it seems the 2 groups are a lot nearer to a deal than the Cats and Canines are on Smith.

 IT IS ALL HAPPENING.

AFL.com.au’s Cal Twomey reporting that Carlton is now looking West Coast’s first-round decide on this yr’s draft (at present No.3).

Carlton may ship picks 12 and 14 to the Eagles, with 14 then being despatched to Richmond in a deal for Liam Baker.

West Coast can be occupied with Matthew Owies, so he might be included on this identical deal in addition to a makeweight.

Like we talked about earlier than, generally it solely takes one deal to make issues occur.

In line with the Herald Solar’s Jon Ralph, the three-way commerce between Collingwood, Port Adelaide and the Gold Coast, may have an effect on Daniel Rioli transferring to the Suns as nicely.

Ralph is reporting that the Suns are prone to ship picks 6 and 23 to the Tigers for Rioli, with the Tigers sending some later picks again to the Gold Coast to assist the Suns match a bid for gun academy prospect Leo Lombard.

Hello B. Smith, who is unquestionably not Bailey Smith.

Don’t fret Bazlenka, you are not going to finish up within the draft.

The Bulldogs are merely posturing, and so they’ll settle for no matter Geelong presents on the deadline as a result of they do not wish to lose you for nothing.

Hello Mark,

The brief reply to your query is sure, they completely can.

Nevertheless, groups play too good within the AFL, so it will not occur.

Should you gave this form of chaotic state of affairs to the NBA, a rival membership would 100 per cent draft Smith and drive him to play there.

The AFL is not fairly there but by way of pettiness. We’ll get there at some point.

Right here we go group, seems to be like we have manifested some motion collectively, nicely accomplished all.

9’s Tom Morris with the report whereas dropping a lil’ Fabrizio Romano on the tweet should you do not thoughts. We respect it.

That is the deal that might unlock Dan Houston‘s transfer to Collingwood.

I really like the truth that a participant who most of us most likely would have forgotten continues to be within the AFL system, Rory Atkins, might be the piece that unlocks such an enormous commerce.

God bless the commerce interval.

Hello Robert,

In line with AFL.com.au, Adelaide is taking a look at buying and selling a future second-rounder in addition to later picks being exchanged between them and GWS for James Peatling.

At this stage, the Giants are after two picks for Peatling, who has a four-year provide from the Crows.

Hello James,

Completely no information on both Clayton Oliver or Bailey Smith at the moment.

The Oliver factor sparked up once more on Friday, however has since quietened down.

Melbourne president Brad Inexperienced shot down recommendations Oliver can be dealt on Friday as nicely.

The newest on Smith is that Geelong has provided up its first-rounder this yr (decide 17), however the Bulldogs are asking for extra.

Hello Christopher,

There are undoubtedly offers which are intertwined which are holding issues up.

By the sounds of it, the one which’s central to some issues is Gold Coast deciding who it should commerce decide 13 to.

You have to suppose in the event that they deal that to Collingwood, then the Dan Houston, Joe Richards and John Noble offers will all occur fairly quickly afterwards. They may even occur in the identical deal.

It’s typically the case when one domino falls that the others fall in a short time afterwards.

Golf equipment are all enjoying poker proper now it appears.

Hello Henry,

Tim Membrey is one in every of quite a few gamers who’ve their futures up within the air for the time being.

At this stage, there would not appear to be any hyperlink between and Essendon, though that might clearly change.

Hello Liam,

Yeah, I might are likely to agree {that a} truthful value for Luke Parker is North’s decide 44.

Parker was one of many AFL’s elite midfielders, however that was at the least 2-3 years in the past. He is obtained one yr left on his deal, and is popping 32 in a month.

He additionally struggled to get into Sydney’s group this yr, enjoying simply 10 video games.

North’s first provide of decide 62 was undoubtedly too low, however I would not hand over something greater than 44 for Parker.

Hello Tim,

I reckon I’d mud off the crystals to manifest some commerce strikes tomorrow.

I am unable to think about all these groups wish to go away it till the deadline to get a few of these offers accomplished.

Hello Jason,

I have never seen it reported wherever credible that Jordan de Goey is on the commerce desk this yr.

As for Tom Barrass, at this stage at the least, it seems that it’s both Hawthorn or a return to West Coast for him.

Latest reviews from Code Sports activities suggests Deven Robertson is eager on a transfer to Collingwood.

I am unable to think about Robertson would value the Pies a lot by way of draft capital, however their major focus can be on Dan Houston at this stage.

This is what Kane Cornes and Sam Edmund mentioned this morning on the hyperlinks between Robertson and the Pies.

Hello Tim,

North nonetheless seems to suppose it’s a respectable shot at touchdown Dan Houston.

In line with AFL.com.au, the Kangaroos are trying to show subsequent yr’s first-round decide into an early draft alternative on this yr’s draft, which they might then flip Port Adelaide’s manner.

Collingwood nonetheless seems to be the frontrunner at this stage.

Hello Jape,

There’s been a couple of draft steals all through the years.

Not precisely 60+, however Dane Swan being picked by Collingwood at decide 58 in 2001 is a serious winner.

Then there’s most likely the all-time best draft heist, Essendon grabbing James Hird at decide 79 in 1990.

Brian Lake was taken by the Bulldogs at decide 71 in 2001 and ended up successful a Norm Smith Medal, albeit at a special membership.

The Bulldogs grabbed Chris Grant with decide 105 within the 1988 draft and he wound up being one of many best gamers within the membership’s historical past.

Lately, Lachie Neale (decide 58, 2011) and Robbie Grey (decide 55, 2006) are some extra all-time draft steals.
