After a crazy start to the AFL Trade Period yesterday, day two was certainly much more subdued. But we did get A TRAAAAADE!
After years of trying, Freo finally snared Cam McCarthy from GWS for a bunch of picks in return.
The first trade is done. GWS get pick 3 from from Freo for McCarthy, picks 7, 33 & 71. #TradeSENtral

So after all the hoopla surrounding McCarthy, the Dockers got him for pretty much nothing.
Fremantle receives picks 7, 33, 71 = 2236 draft pts + Cameron McCarthy
GWS receives pick 3 = 2234 draft ptsWell played, Dockers.

And that’s a year after they were going to do this:
2015: Giants offered 2 first round picks for McCarthy
2016: Giants give up McCarthy and 2 picks, to go up 4 places in the draft.
Ouch.

Regardless, for a bloke who’s had a rough time of it, let’s hope he can play some good footy for the Dockers.

In other news, Daniel Wells is officially a Magpie.

Which after losing Harvey, Petrie, Dal Santo and Firrito, has Roos fans like this:
It’s not all bad news for the Roos, they got a second round draft pick in return, which is good or bad depending who you barrack for.
Interesting that North get a second-round pick for 31-year-old Wells and Blues got no compensation at all for 31-year-old Waite.

Richmond get a higher compensation pick for Vickery than Roos do for Wells! World's gone bonkers!

The Tigers have a price for Deledio.
Josh Caddy has emerged as the name Richmond wants from Geelong in return for Deledio. Close with Prestia, Balme connection. @traderadio now

Richmond + Geelong fans both fuming about possible Caddy-Deledio trade in my feed. Does that mean it's about right?#AFLTrades

The Trade Whisperer has continued to stir up trouble, is he full of it?
1/4 As I revealed yesterday, late on Monday St. Kilda made a shocking offer to Sydney for Tom Mitchell, offering STK's pick 10 #AFLTrades
— AFL Trade Whisperer (@AFLTradeWhisper) October 11, 2016
2/4 Driven by spite lingering from HAW's last-minute interference in the '15 Jake Carlisle deal, STK didn't expect much to come of the offer
— AFL Trade Whisperer (@AFLTradeWhisper) October 11, 2016
3/4 I can exclusively reveal for the first time Tom Mitchell's reaction to the STK offer, which has thrown HAW into crisis #AFLTrades
— AFL Trade Whisperer (@AFLTradeWhisper) October 11, 2016
4/4 Mitchell, when told STK offer to SYD likely beats HAWs, and that $ was similar, was asked if he'd consider STK:
"I don't see why not"

The Blues are seemingly going to play hardball for Bryce Gibbs.
Ok jokes aside.
If Blues have seriously asked for Pick 13 and Chuck Cameron they are kidding themselves #AFLTrades

But won’t somebody please think of the children?
