O’Meara done? Nope. Prestia? Nope. Gibbs? Nope. Hibberd? Nope.
You guys realise there’s only two days left, right?
One big trade did go down, with Jordan Lewis officially now a Demon. Like Mitchell, he was traded for peanuts.
Lewis traded for the equivalent of pick 61. #TradeSENtral

It’s also led to some crazy stats.
Random stat:
Jordan Lewis played 260 of his 264 games under Alastair Clarkson. 4th most games by a player under 1 coach in VFL/AFL history.— Patrick Keane (@AFL_PKeane) October 18, 2016
Players departing VFL / @AFL club after 250+ gms / 4+ flags
A Jesaulenko Carl ➡️ StK
S Mitchell Haw ➡️ WCE
J Lewis Haw ➡️ Melb#AFLTrades— Joshua Kay (@js_kay) October 18, 2016
.@HawthornFC becomes second club to see top two in its B&F join other clubs. The other was after Fitzroy's final season. #AFLTrades

It’s still unbelievable, isn’t it?
Took this photo of Jordan Lewis on MCG after he'd won his 3rd premiership with Hawthorn. My fav photo. Crazy to think he's no longer a Hawk pic.twitter.com/m3LSAfIFw0

At least Tom Bugg was having fun with the news.
If you can't beat them, join them hey @JordanLewisO3 ? Welcome! ?? https://t.co/Fasq5DgAXT

Meanwhile, Joel Hamling has got his wish and will play with Fremantle in 2017.
Three down, one to go for Freo. Joel Hamling leaves the Kennel basically for pick 35. Shane Kersten still on Dockers' radar.
— Travis King (@TravisKing) October 18, 2016
And this record will continue:
It's official. Joel Hamling to Freo
Footy's greatest ever statistic continues

Brisbane, Port and Gold Coast also completed a complicated trade to get Pearce Hanley to the Suns.

Interesting list management #AFLTrades— Rohan (@RohanCT) October 18, 2016
Hopefully the Suns can trade in some better Photoshop skills next. This is horrific.
Suns Photoshop efforts are killing me today ? #photoshop #NABTradeRadio #AFLTrades pic.twitter.com/ZWcvy09XI8

Titus O’Reilly wants to make it an international incident.
Pearce Hanley, Lions then Suns. The Irish Govt should make a formal complaint to the Australian Govt about the treatment of their citizen.

Young GWS forward James Stewart has declared that he wants to play for Essendon in 2017
James Stewart a nice fit at Essendon. Will get senior game time, gives Daniher some relief and won't cost much. Very low risk move.

And Sydney ruckman Toby Nankervis wants to be a Tiger.
Toby Nankervis averaged the most Champion Data ranking points of any player at the 2013 U18 Champs (154). Massive upside for Richmond.
