I see it, but I don’t believe it. We have trades!
The first to drop was perhaps the biggest of the 2017 AFL Trade Period: Jake Lever is officially a Demon.
BREAKING: Jake Lever traded to Dees!
Melbourne -> Adelaide pick 10 & 2018 1st rd pick
Dees also get pick 35 + 2018 3rd rd#NABTradeRadio

Despite the gun defender leaving the Crows, most think the 2017 runners up won the deal.
Who won in the Jake Lever trade?#NABTradeRadio

Time will tell, although this guy is confident.

The second to drop was the first of Essendon’s ‘Big 3’ this trade period.
Trade paperwork officially lodged:
GWS have traded Devon Smith, r2 (24), rd2 2018 to Essendon for r1 (11) and rd3 2018.— Patrick Keane (@AFL_PKeane) October 12, 2017
Although they announced it in the most cringeworthy way possible.
IT’S OFFICIAL!
Devon, will you #DonTheSash in 2018?

That’s shocking. Conversely, Hawthorn announced Jarman Impey’s signing with one of the better tweets we’ve seen.
Big news. ??#StrongAsOne pic.twitter.com/PQ33gVzwKr

This wasn’t bad either
HAWKS GET JARMAN…

It cost them pick 33, a 2018 4th rounder plus a late pick swap. Al Clarkson really doesn’t like the draft, does he?
Hawthorn’s first pick now 43 after entering last year at 74.
But who cares? Jarman Impey a shrewd trade. Speed. Also frees up $$ for Port.
