The Smugglers and Bunyips have come to an agreement which will see the Bunyips list continue to get younger whilst the Smugglers have picked up a boost to their forward stocks. Bunyips send R Gray + Pick 35 Smugglers send D Tyson + Pick 16
Confirmed -cheers Marty. Sad to see one of the few remaining original Smugglers in Tyson going, but with the League’s worst forward line in 2017, and some positional carnage up front, the faithful are thrilled to welcome Mr Gray to Christmas Island.
To keep @bryzza happy and hopefully inspire plenty more trading activity, the two off shore rivals of the ORFFU have put aside their differences to come up with a swap Serengeti send Brandon Matera + PSD 32 to Banchang Banchang send PSD 17 + PSD 73 to Serengeti The Buffaloes send Brandon across the seas with best wishes but were happy to take the opportunity to get back into the 1st round of drafting
This trade is confirmed and Banchang welcomes Brandon Matera to The Land of Smiles and hopes that the new surroundings will inspire him to greater things.
The Commish @JPK continues his late trading period activity with Coolgardie and Christmas Island agreeing to the following terms: Christmas Island send PSD pick 19 to Coolgardie for J. Westhoff. The Smugglers are delighted to welcome their second forward recruit of the off-season as they look to improve their lackluster attack.
Trade confirmed. While we're sad to see Justin Westhoff leave the goldfields, especially seeing as he's been a strong servant of the club, the list turnover and regeneration must continue, and PSD19 is a great opportunity to achieve that. Thanks to coach Damo for making this one quick and painless.
@tyze1 Over the years Staghorn and Nuytsland have developed a trading frenzy with so many deals struck I have now lost count. Once again without fuse we have another agreement. Nuytsland send picks 52 and 61 Staghorn send bruce and 68 Bruce adds much needed depth as we wait for the youngsters to kick on, plus a breakout is looming for Bruce playing a high CHF role while McCartin plays deep
Confirmed - we agree a breakout is possible however the inconsistent Bruce could never hold a spot within the Bulls 15 - Bruce played 9 games for the Bulls over 2 1/2 years at an average of 65.7 ppg
After a solitary season with the Buffaloes that brought ultimate success, Jack Riewoldt has decided it is time to head back to the mainland of Australia and finish his career as a Barracuda. Serengeti are sad to see an integral piece of their premiership side depart but didn't want to rest on one successful year so have made the decision to continue refreshing the list. Serengeti send Jack Riewoldt + PSD 54 + MSD rnd 2 to Groote Eylandt Groote Eylandt send PSD 29 + PSD 33 + MSD rnd 1 to Serengeti
The Barracuda's welcomes Jack to it's starting lineup and look forward to his on field tenacity. Thanks also to @wrightbrendan for the robust negotiations.
After being the inaugural captain of the Barracudas Cotchin is heading to another island to see if the paddock is greener on the other side on King Island in exchange for Houli how will bolster the depleted backline. As well as a pick swap. Barracudas send Cotchin + PSD 15 to King Island for Houli + PSD 10
Confirmed. Sad to see the bearded one depart but we've been chasing Cotch for a few years and he will help fill the hole left by retiring club great Matty Priddis.
After an unexpectedly long hiatus, a very patient Ararat have kindly come to an agreement with the Gisborne Liam Jones'. Ararat send Sam Petrevski-Seton + PSD 12 + 2018 MSD Rd 2 to Gisborne in exchange for Luke Ryan + PSD 4 + PSD 40 + 2018 MSD Rd 3
In an announcement less eloquent than usual due to Christmas lunch and drinks, Ararat announces their agreement with the highly respected Sandgroper organisation which see Dom Sheed packs his bags and head east in return for pick 13.
Trade confirmed. The club are sad to see an inaugural squad member leave but with a dearth of midfielders the time was right for Dom to move for more opportunity. Thanks to the Armadillos for the smooth negotiation process.
