Harrison Wigg traded from Adelaide Crows to Gold Coast Suns for pick 39.
Harley Balic traded from Fremantle Dockers to Melbourne Demons for pick 66.
The penultimate day of the AFL trade period is here, with still as many as ten or twenty deals waiting to be finalised. Join The Roar for all the latest AFL trade news and rumours from 9am AEDT.
Let’s do a quick run down of the deals still in progress.
Charlie Cameron to Brisbane is seeming more unlikely by the day. Adelaide want Dayne Zorko for him. Good luck, Crows.
Josh Schache too is looking more likely to stay than go, with the Bulldogs and Carlton interested, but neither making a genuine play for him.
Bryce Gibbs’ potential moves is based purely on whispers and, if it comes off, would go wildly against what all parties have said.
Aaron Francis looks in doubt to move with neither Port or Adelaide showing a strong interest at the price Essendon would be looking for.
Harley Balic will be traded to Melbourne probably some time today.
Lachie Weller might be held down at Fremantle with the Dockers unwilling to consider moving him on for anything less than an exorbitant price.
Darcy Lang could still wind up at any of North Melbourne, Carlton or the Gold Coast.
Gary Ablett should get to Geelong by all reports, but exactly what the deal will be is something we don’t know yet.
Brandon Matera will get to Fremantle but might have to wait for details around Lachie Weller to be finalised.
Matthew Kennedy should get to Carlton but the exact deal at the moment appears unclear. Ditto Nathan Wilson to Fremantle.
Andrew Swallow would be happy to go to Gold Coast and North Melbourne happy to send him there, the only question is do the Suns want him?
Matthew Lobbe’s options aren’t as clear as they were before, with both Gold Coast and Brisbane seeming to distance themselves from the deal lately.
Aaron Young will likely get to Gold Coast in a minor deal.
Anthony Miles hasn’t had a clear opportunity arise from another club just yet and so might stay at Richmond instead.
Jake Stringer’s future depends on whether the Bulldogs or Bombers blink on the offer of picks 25 and 30 before the trade period closes.

You actually need to have a case to rest it. 13 from Vic right now. What do you want? do they all have to be from Airey's Inlet or Lorne to suit whatever it is you are arguing? Freo retains its talent.

How many are from Metro Melbourne and how many of those are genuine top end talent that a Melbourne team would be interested in getting to their club. Not many. I rest my case.

There's 13 on that list from Vic. Any comments?

I'm thinking Gee that sounds like a lot for a Carlton midfielder, maybe the deal ain't done yet!

Premeirship or bust type trade for Adelaide. Seems a lot for a player they are only going to 4 years out of. I guess if those four years include a Premiership then it might be worth it to Adelaide but it still seems a lot. Great deal for Carlton however who will no doubt get some more high quality draft choices through the door to join a long list of high quality draft choices that the club has taken over the last decade and a half.

Ha! There is a vast chasm between the journalistic integrity of those two.

Of course it couldn't be that Sam was 100% wrong - someone "pulled out". I might be wrong and without knowing the exact deal but with the deals being discussed I would be surprised if it was the blues who pulled the pin.

What did I say - just when you think this deal is going one way it does a 180.

Now Sam Landsberger is tweeting that one of the teams has pulled out of the deal and negotiations are back on

More rubbish from a immature student who hopefully will improve his knowledge of Footy as he grows older.

Wrapping things up now - looks like Bryce Gibbs deal will be tomorrow, not today. Here's the wrap of all of today's big news.

Mattyb - isn't it early in the day to be drinking? "your in the 25% and yes we know you love Gibbs…but why are you including Pickett?" Where to start with this, I was including Pickett because he was a young talented player we brought in as part fo what is a "proper rebuild" and I have said if the blues get what is mooted for Gibbs I would be happy. "Carlton are now competing against the dog,saints and north" They have been competing against these clubs for over 100 years - I would be very worried if the board didn't know this.

Pick 39 is probably insurance for F/S Jackson Edwards

Pick 39 seems like it could be useful for the Lions for Ballenden if they clear out their end of first round picks. Perhaps there's something elaborate involving Charlie Cameron in the works. Otherwise this trade looks like Adelaide are virtually giving Wigg away.

Seems like Adelaide's appearance at the AFL house may have just been to lodge that Wigg paperwork - Gibbs deal might be tomorrow, rather than today.

No, I'm saying they would give Geelong 40 for Lang, give GWS the Crows' 2018 2nd rounder for Kennedy and take 16 to the draft. I'd love SOS to trade 16 for 25 and 30 but there's no way he would be dong Ess any favours! He would have to see something beneficial for the Blues.
