Hello BigFooty.com supporters,

Welcome to the official discussion of the 2013 AFL Trade & Free Agency Period all sponsored by Gillette, one of the biggest razor blade brands in the world.

From 4th October to 25th October, one of the biggest trade and free agency period begins with the biggest players Lance Franklin, Dale Thomas, Heath Shaw, Stewart Crameri, Dustin Martin, Jesse White, Eddie Betts, Nathan Fyfe, Paul Chapman and Nick Dal Santo.

We have over 50 players that has been rumoured to trade with the other clubs like GWS Giants, Brisbane, North Melbourne, West Coast, Essendon, Melbourne, Collingwood and other 11 clubs.

I'll be taking coverage of the AFL trade & free agency period with the breaking news, rumours and confirmations.

I hope this information will suit you well and we all hope that this will be one of the greatest, biggest, extraordinary, incredible, very good, simple, solid, not bad trade & free agency period.

P.S. I am not feeling very well. My face is warm, my throat is sore and my ear has a different fast music audio when I heard it on my headphones.

By the way, in the second half of the trade and free agency period. I won't be doing the breaking news, rumours and confirmations because I'm going to school.

But, don't worry. Don't get so much worry, I will be doing a recap in the first half and the second half to cover all the news, the rumours and the confirmations.

Also, I'm from Western Australia which school starts at 8:50am until 3:20pm and I won't attend school at Thursday and Friday, I will be homeschool teaching with my father.

• Sydney's Jesse White might trade with Collingwood for a second or a third round pick for the national draft, had met with Collingwood today plus Western Bulldogs are interested as well.
• Richmond's Dustin Martin may increase a 2-year offer for his club, but there is a Melbourne club that might get Martin during the trade period.
• Carlton's Eddie Betts is unlikely to get the small forward player to join Adelaide which the offer is about $2 million, but there is a BIG rumour that West Coast might get upset Adelaide's offer.

Just a quick clarifying question about Free Agency: Does the AFL still allocate a club compensation at the end of free agency based on what has come in and gone out of each club i.e. if Thomas leaves Collingwood (it is suggested we will get pick 11, the pick directly after our first selection), if we were to get say a Sylvia across will that pick be affected? i hope this makes sense!!

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

i cant get trade radio to work any suggestions?

Yes, it's a net compensation. If you lose Thomas (tier 1) and gain Sylvia (tier 3?), your compo will be the difference (tier 4/5).

You could do what Port did last year though and opt to trade instead. They gave pick 48 (?) to Essendon for Monfries as not to dilute the FA compo for losing Pearce.

BREAKING NEWS (LIVE)

• Dustin Martin of the Richmond Football Club has been re-signed for two years at Punt Road after all the meetings with GWS Giants, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and St Kilda. There was a Victorian club who get Martin during the free agency period, however Martin has signed it before the period starts. So, cheers to Dustin for getting two years at Richmond and his future stays!
