There are just two days to go in the 2021 AFL trade period and there are still plenty of deals yet to be completed. Join The Roar for a live blog and rolling coverage of the day’s news, rumours and action of the penulimate day of action from 9am (AEDT).
Yesterday was more notable for the deals that didn’t get through, with Rory Lobb’s manager declaring his return to Greater Western Sydney – that seemed to pick up serious momentum over the weekend – was no longer happening.
We’ve seen stranger things happen in the trade period though, so we’ll continue to keep an eye out.
One deal that does look dead and buried is a move from Hawthorn to the Giants for Chad Wingard. Wingard famously told the Giants not to draft him back in 2011, so a move to Homebush would have been laced with irony, but public and emphatic social media comments from the ex-Port Adelaide player scuttled a deal the two clubs had allegedly worked out.
There was a trade, however, with Patrick Lipinski finalising his move from the Western Bulldogs to Collingwood in exchange for pick 43, while the other big development was Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams officially requesting a trade to Sydney.
Elsewhere, there’s still plenty to go down on deals involving Jordan Dawson (whose move to Adelaide is looming closer after the Crows made another offer to the Swans), Jordan Clark (Fremantle and Geelong are still locked in a stalemate), Bobby Hill (GWS are trying to speak to other Victorian clubs instead of Essendon), and the quartet of ruckmen in Jonathon Ceglar, Max Lynch, Tristan Xerri and Darcy Fort.
