Yeah, I know there are similar threads like this, but I thought it would be good to have one for any trades that are currently confirmed, or being worked on, or that won't happen... as opposed to speculation about who may go where or about which club may want who...

Keep putting em in and I'll update this OP from time to time if the thread kicks off.... Oh, and post links where available...

**Note - the main purpose of this thread is to follow and discuss what has occured, or what the reports say may occur.. it is not a thread to discuss dream trades or what kind of player each club should go for or what player you hope your club goes for - there are plenty of other threads already available to discuss such issues... so please keep it on topic.

Added 11 Sep @ 10:10am

Seaby has voiced a preference to leave West Coast, with Sydney being his most likely destination; trade offer still needs to be made

Added 15 Sep @ 9:10am

Chris Tarrant has reportedly found little interest in Victoria due to his age and the fact that he still has 1 year to run on his Contract.

Shane Tuck has reportedly agreed to being traded to another club by the Tigers, despite 1 year still running on his contract. No offers have been considered as yet

Burgoyne, who is out of contract, said he'd rather PA receive some compensation for him, but is adament that his time at the Power is up. In light of the Nick Stevens saga several years back, PA are expected to accomodate Burgoyne's request.

Added 15 Sep @1:10pm

At the moment, Hawthorn are said to be the front runners for S.Burgoyne who is rumoured to command somewhere around 2 million over 4 years

Burton, Goodwin, McLeod and Edwards are all coming out of contract this year. Both Edwards and Burton have signalled an intent to continue next year and Goodwin has said that all 4 are "reasonably keen" to play on next year.

Added 16 Sep @ 9:00am

Despite the fact that everyone is confident of Lake signing a new contract with the Dogs, Lake has said that he won't even look at the Contract until after the finals. This shouldn't change things, though it may cause some doubt to grow in the Dogs' minds.. maybe.

Lloyd has requested more time from the Dons to make his decision. Technically the issue is about whether Lloyd wants to go around again, but secretly it's about Lloyd have a sooky-la-la moment about not being able to play in his favorite position.

Added 17 Sep @ 9:10am

It is widely believed that should Richo decide to go again, he will be offered a new contract without any hesitation

Carlton have stated their interest in drafting Bulldogs youngster, Andrejs Everitt. Everitt, who despite signing a new 2-year deal with the Dogs earlier this year, is said to be disgruntled with his position in the team, after being overlooked for finals action for the second time in as many years. Carlton have indicated a willingness to trade their 2nd round pick for Everitt, though, as a 1st round pick, he may cost substantially more than that

Brad Scott has openly declared that North forward, David Hale is off-limits to all clubs, despite his drop in form in 2009

S.Burgoyne has met with Melbourne, Essendon and Hawthorn and it appears that his first choice is to play with the Hawks. Adding further weight to this belief is the fact that Surgoyne is believed to have told the Hawks he was willing to sign a contract for 600k per season, whereas he is believed to have told Melbourne and Essendon he wants upwards of 750k per season. If a Hawthorn deal is to go ahead, the Hawks are expected to hand over their 1st round pick + a quality player, at least, and it is said that the Power are interested in Jordan Lewis

Added 19 Sep @ 10:00am

Essendon are said to be a certainty to offer up Lovett for trade. If a trade cannot be found, then Lovett, being uncontracted, will most likely nominate for the PSD

Brad Johnson is still a while away from considering his future next year, wanting to let the dust settle on last night's preliminary final loss before looking forward

S.Burgoyne will reportedly nominate his preferred team this weekend. Hawthorn appear to be the front runners, however Burgoyne knows he will have to except significantly less than what he wants to go there, so it may not happen. Chocco, in his brilliance, has compared the trade of Surgoyne to Victoria, to the Judd trade several years ago and has intimated that Surgoyne is just as valuable to them as Judd was to the Eagles and expects nothing but quality for any trade

Added 21 Sep @ 8:50am

PA have also said they will not be accepting Hawthorn's #9 pick on its own for Surgoyne

Despite initial belief that Lake had signed up to the Bulldogs 4-year deal (worth approximately 1.8 million), it has since surface that he is yet to actually put pen to paper. Reports state that there may be something deeper going on with Lake and that several clubs are beginning to chase him even harder given his apparent indecision over his future with the Dogs

Since losing McLean to the Blues, the Dees have moved quickly to re-sign indigenous star, Aaron Davey. Initially offering a 2-year deal, the Dees have reportedly now succumbed to Davey's request of 3 years.

Despite reports suggesting otherwise, the Blues have come out and openly denied that Stevens will be retiring at the end of the year. The Blues are still hopeful that Stevens can return from yet another neck injury at some point in his career

So far, Sydney are the only team said to be monitoring the result of Fev's meeting today

Luke Ball has admitted that he may struggle to keep his spot in the Saints team next year. There is also speculation that Sydney are showing some interest in picking up the midfielder

While Kennelly has yet to say anything about his future, speculation is still rife that he will make the move back to the Swans in 2010 after honouring his late father's memory by winning an All-Ireland medal

There is a very heavy rumour amongst Demon circles that Carlton are interested in taking Brock McLean off their hands for picks 11 and 27. Included in this deal to Carlton would be Melbourne's 34th pick.

Oh, and FYI - the 'rumoured' section pertains to rumours that are reported by a news outlet.. it does not mean rumours that are started by SFF members...

Where do you think the news outlets get them from?

How naive of me...

How big of a player do people think Hawthorn will be this trade week?

Mark Williams has said once again that port's first round pick is on the table.
Hale and Jones for pick 8 Swampies?

Andrew Lovett?

They already have Danyle Pearce.
Try talking to Freo or Richmond

Straight swap

With the speculation around the Saints trading there are rumours that the Saints have had discussions with McMahon, Staker and Spangher although obviously nothing concrete and probably the usual "is he available? Yup. Is he any good? You betcha! No way? Yeah I'm just pulling your leg. Coffee? Sure" talks.

i can not see the pies giving lloyd a 1yr deal, they have said they are going for youth.

Well you got 5 posts before the muppet hypotheticals started. Pretty good for this place.

Yeah I noticed... it's ok.. I'll just upkeep the thread as we get new info and I'll bump it for good measure.. unless editing the OP causes it to come up as a new post?

I hope there are alot of trades in the off season! The biggest ones talked about would have to be Sandilands and Lake..

I bet you can't wait until this time next year and the excitement of the Gold Coast!

yeah the GC im looking fwd to, WS, i hope they draft a bunch of hacks

I thinki GC will trade a few of their picks for gun players.
Because if you think about it they are going to have a bunch of 18-20yr olds who have never experienced AFL tempo. They will be smashed every week for 3 years.
A fair bit of trading next year me thinks

Yeah i agree, they will have to trade in a fair bit of experience, you would think they will need minimum 6-10 players who have played over 100-150 games.

Not just the tempo but also the body size and the leadership around the club.

Confirmed
Luke Hodge signs until end of 2012 with Hawks
