Brisbane’s ill-fated Fevola commerce
As a Lions fan, the Brendan Fevola commerce (and the whole 2009 commerce interval from the Lions). Went all in on a false daybreak finals look and as an alternative proceed to be a basket case for almost one other decade.
Should admit although, what got here after has taken the sting out of that one slightly bit…

Hello Marty,
Ah sure, I would forgotten about this one!
The Lions gave up Lachie Henderson and decide 12 to Carlton to embark on a Fevolution.
To be honest, Fev was good for the Lions in his one season, kicking 48 objectives from 17 appearances.
Carlton followers would’ve loved this second towards Collingwood.
When Carey backfired on the Crows
The Crows would possibly’ve acquired McLeod in a heist, however more often than not we’ve been on the opposite facet of it! When Wayne Carey was over the hill and really a lot undesirable by North Melbourne, Adelaide noticed match to surrender Picks 2 and 18 for him. Carey performed 28 video games from then on, in comparison with Choose 2 Daniel Wells’ 250+. Has to go down as an all-timer
– Thomas
Hello Thomas,
Oooh boy yeah this one is a little bit of a stinker too.
In 2002, Adelaide gave up picks 2 and 18 within the draft to North Melbourne in trade for Wayne Carey.
Carey, who sat out the whole 2002 season, was 31 on the time, however it turned out he did not have a lot footy left.
The Duck’s most iconic purpose in Crows colors got here towards his previous mob.
Freo main the WOAT commerce race early
Freo simply wins the worst commerce debate. Trent Croad, Chris Tarrant, Jesse Hogan. That mentioned, they’ve been significantly better general currently, e.g. getting decide 2 for Weller!
The decide swap between the Suns and Eagles in 2017 was fairly dangerous – Suns despatched Picks 21, 26 and 37, in addition to their 2018 second-round decide, to the Eagles in trade for Choose 50 and West Coast’s 2018 first spherical choice (which ended up being decide 18)– Simon
Hello Simon,
Oh who may overlook that Trent Croad one from 2001 which wound up turning into Luke Hodge? Unimaginable that seven years later, each have been on the Hawks taking part in in a premiership facet collectively.
Attention-grabbing you point out that 2017 decide swap cope with the Suns and Eagles. I dug slightly deeper and also you’re proper, it was a HEIST for West Coast.
What the Eagles acquired
- Choose 21: Oscar Allen
- Choose 26: Liam Ryan
- Choose 37: Jack Petrucelle
What the Suns acquired
- Choose 50: Brayden Crossley
- 2018 Eagles first-rounder
The Eagles additionally acquired a 2018 second-rounder, which they traded on the draft evening to Sydney. The Swans ended up drafting James Rowbottom with that decide.
Gold Coast on-traded the 2018 Eagles first as nicely, that ultimately landed within the Giants’s arms and so they picked Xavier O’Halloran.
What’s your greatest commerce heist of all-time?
There’s not a lot motion this morning, so we’ll do a little bit of a brainstorm.
I am excited about a number of the most one-sided trades in AFL historical past.
Fremantle has one of many worst, having traded the No.4 decide within the 1994 draft to Essendon for Todd Ridley, Tony Delaney and Dale Kickett. That decide ended up being Scott Lucas.
To make issues worse for the Dockers, in addition they agreed to an association with the Bombers that allowed the membership to pick Matthew Lloyd.
Lloyd and Lucas went on to mix for 1397 objectives and 540 video games for the Dons.
Extremely, that most likely wasn’t even their greatest blunder that yr.
The Dockers traded the rights to draft Andrew McLeod to Adelaide in trade for Chris Groom, who performed seven video games for the membership earlier than being delisted in 1995.
Ship us another commerce blunders that come to thoughts!
The most recent on the race for Dan Houston
SEN’s Sam Edmund believes Carlton is not with no shot at Dan Houston at this stage, regardless of Collingwood being the frontrunner.
“Dan Houston completely needs to play for the Blues,” he informed SEN’s Whateley.
“The issue for the time being is that Carlton aren’t presenting the best choice or supply for the participant.
“Collingwood have the within operating regarding the John Noble deal.”
To commerce or to not commerce?
A participant needs out of a contract, or has reached a free agent standing, and the soccer membership is making it arduous. While I perceive the necessity for arduous bargaining to get the perfect deal, absolutely if a participant who has expressed a want to transfer on to a different membership, if this doesn’t happen, then the membership has to worse off. Nothing like a disgruntled participant subsequent season who does solely what must be achieved to be paid. He’ll solely drag his membership and his teammates down.
– Ken
Hello Ken, thanks for the remark!
It is undoubtedly an attention-grabbing conundrum is not it? We have seen groups maintain gamers to their contracts and it figuring out up to now, an awesome instance being Ryan O’Keefe with Sydney.
My take is that this – for those who’ve acquired an awesome tradition the place it’s actually team-first, just like the Swans have, it is a lot simpler to welcome a man again in who’s beforehand requested out. The Swans did it with Tom Papley just a few years in the past as nicely.
If it is a shakier tradition, say Essendon with Joe Daniher in 2020, it is lots tougher to show that state of affairs round.
Western Bulldogs beneath the gun over powerful commerce stance
Western Bulldogs record supervisor Sam Energy is a shrewd negotiator and confirmed it once more yesterday.
Energy has not been afraid to play hardball in years’ previous, and appears like he is digging his heels on this yr too as Bailey Smith, Jack Macrae and Caleb Daniel search for strikes elsewhere.
All three gamers are transferring for better alternatives, and Kane Cornes cannot fairly perceive how the Bulldogs are valuing Macrae and Daniel so extremely after Canines coach Luke Beveridge performed them sparingly this season.
Welcome!
