AFL trade period, latest news and rumours: Day 3

The AFL’s free agency and trade periods are in full swing now, join me from 10am (AEST) as we look at all the done deals, rumours and talking points from the most exciting part of the offseason.

Reigning premiers West Coast are set to feature heavily on day three, with the news that Andrew Gaff would officially re-sign with the club throwing spanners in the works of several potential deals.

The Eagles are fast approaching the deadline to match the offer made to Scott Lycett by Port Adelaide, while the lack of compensation for (not) losing Gaff means they have very little currency with which to appease Geelong in their quest to sign Tim Kelly.

With clubs having had two days to feel each other out, hopefully we’ll start to see some more meat and potatoes developments today.

How will the Lachie Neale situation unfold? Can Brisbane get enough chips to satisfy the Dockers? Does Neale even want to make them move?

How does Rory Lobb’s decision to pick Fremantle impact the Dockers interest in Jesse Hogan? Does that, in turn, impact a potential move away from the Gold Coast by Steven May?

Who out of Carlton, Hawthorn or St Kilda will be the ones to woo Dylan Shiel?

What are Sydney – suddenly flush with cap space – up to? Who will North Melbourne set their sights on now with Gaff out of the picture?

There’s a lot to sift through, it’s sure to be another exciting day.

Tune in to The Roar as we bring you all the latest trade news and rumours as they bob up.
