We’re almost there. After nine days of official AFL trading, many with little or no action at all, today the floodgates finally opened.
Live Trade Talk is in BigFooty’s Trade Forum
Dion Prestia is officially a Tiger.

One star Sun is out the door, but another may struggle to get to his intended home.
“Unfortunately for Hawthorn they picked an appalling year to challenge us with someone like O’Meara.”
That Tony Cochrane line is just ???

Cochrane: If the Hawks walk away, then they promised O’Meara the world, and they’re going to hand him an atlas#NABTradeRadio

Cochrane: If the Hawks walk away from O’Meara, what a disgraceful way to treat him #NABTradeRadio

And GWS look set to swoop on Brett Deledio.
Deledio to GWS. Just give them the 2017 flag now! pic.twitter.com/kb3eASRaO0

Deledio joining GWS may well be the biggest move this trade period. 22-0.

Although this may have been his motivation.

Zac Tuohy and Billie Smedts will be trading places, along with a fairly irrelevant pick swap.
Blues to get Smedts & Cats’ future 1st. Cats get Tuohy & Blues’ future 2nd. You’d think there won’t be much difference between those 2 picks
— Sam Edmund (@SammyHeraldSun) October 19, 2016
Interestingly, Smedts has played 5 games in 2 years. Tuohy hasn’t missed one in 4 years. Blues wanted Lang, Cockatoo. Settled on Smedts

Michael Hibberd finally landed at Melbourne. It can only help the Dees’ abysmal record at Etihad.
I like the @melbournefc‘s tactic of recruiting players that know how to win at Ethihad Stadium. @M_Hibberd1

Richmond have added to their ruck stocks with Toby Nankervis on his way down from Sydney. The Swans will be hoping there’s another gem available at pick 46.
