Neales gone, the deals been done , yeah sounds like 6 and 19 has been enough.

Kelly move right in play at the moment, Geelong have upped the ante though, added a future first round draft pick WCE sitting off.

Also the Beams trade has been moved out of the deal.

It's all happening with Hogan and Lobb done deals.

Melbourne trade Jesse Hogan and Rd 4 (65) (on traded from St Kilda) to Fremantle for Rd 1 (6) (on traded from Brisbane Lions) and Rd 2 (23) (on traded from Port Adelaide).

GWS Giants trade Rory Lobb, Rd 1 (14), Rd 3 (43) (on traded from Carlton), Rd 3 (47) to Fremantle for Rd 1 (11) (on traded from Port Adelaide) and Rd 1 (19) (on traded from Brisbane Lions).

Sounds like the Kelly deal is very close.

This will be a absolute blitz of a trade period for WCE, keeping Gaff and Kelly if it gets done.

Well done to Peter Bell for sticking to his guns during the trade period. Hogan and Lobb are two gun footballers in the prime of there careers.All the best to Lauchie Neale at Brisbane been a fantastic player for Freo.And will be for the Lions.

Wow Fremantle finally get what they wanted plus 1. I reckon we got a steal with Hogan but I thought we paid top dollar for Lobb. Swings and roundabouts really but when you consider we started with only picks 5 and 77 in the draft ,ok we lost a very good player but picked up two big key forwards and I think we've got picks 14, 41, 43, 44, 47, 65 and 77. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Just a shame coaches can't be traded in the same manner!

Well the good thing is grump, Ross Lyon will probably be the coach most under scrutiny in 2019. There are no more excuses. I hope if we have a good year the club doesn't rush to extend his contract beyond 2020.

Let's hope it all works out as it'll be slim pickings at the draft table with Freo only having picks 14, 31, 43, 65 and 81 to pay with.

I reckon they could get him cheap too AM, it just depends on Essendon, are they putting all their energy in the shiel deal or will they look at other options
