The Crows and Melbourne are understood to have agreed to a trade where the Crows would gain pick 20 for Vince, who is holidaying in the US and yet to sign off on the deal.

Adelaide was likely to look at on-trading pick 20 to the Brisbane Lions for uncontracted midfielder Jared Polec, who has nominated the Power as his club of choice.
The Lions will still attempt to deal with the Crows if they can offer more for the South Australian, who has played 16 games in his three years as a Lion. However it is believed Port Adelaide is looking at a trade which would see it lose its No.13 pick but gain two reasonably high selections in return, one of which could be used for Polec.​

St. Kilda chase Longer

ST KILDA has given 20-year-old Brisbane Lions ruckman Billy Longer something to think about after meeting with him early this week to discuss the prospect of him joining the Saints.

There is no offer yet from the Saints, who need to bolster their ruck spots after sending Ben McEvoy to Hawthorn in the surprise deal that kick started Gillette Trade Period.

The McEvoy deal was a jolt to Longer's aspirations, as he had declared a wish to join the Hawks.

Now Hawthorn is out of the picture and it comes down to whether he wants to continue his career with the Brisbane Lions, where he has played nine games since being the No.8 pick in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft, or to move to Victoria, closer to where he grew up.

St Kilda and Essendon chase want-away Brisbane ruckman Billy Longer

ST KILDA and Essendon have emerged as suitors for want-away Brisbane ruckman Billy Longer.

But the Saints are not prepared to swap pick 17 for Longer, the selection they received from Hawthorn as part of the Ben McEvoy deal.

Any deal to bring the 202cm Longer to Seaford would hinge on the Lions accepting a pick in the 20s.

Longer has also met with Essendon who come into play with pick 22, which it is likely to acquire from the Western Bulldogs for Stewart Crameri.

St Kilda believes Longer, the 20-year-old taken at pick 8 in the 2011 national draft, would prefer to come home to Melbourne than stay at the Gabba under new coach Justin Leppitsch.

Longer and his manager Paul Connors are expected to announce a decision on the ruckman’s club of choice over the weekend.

Port Adelaide enlists Gold Coast in a three-way deal to nab Brisbane midfielder Jared Polec

The most probably deal will be with Gold Coast.

The framework of the deal is:

Port hands their first-round (No. 13) draft pick to the Suns for picks 18 and 23.

Brisbane get pick 18 for Polec. The 20-year-old midfielder was originally called at No. 5 by the Lions in the 2011 national draft from SANFL club Woodville-West Torrens.

Port keep pick 23 – and two picks inside the top-30 of a draft many AFL clubs consider not worthy of calling beyond 30.

Polec’s trade to the Power is likely to be confirmed after the free agency period closes at 1.30pm today.

Lions coach Justin Leppitsch and his senior adviser Peter Schwab met with ruckman Billy Longer yesterday in a last-ditch bid to keep him at the club.

Warren said the club had let the former top 10 draft pick know he had a bright future at the Gabba.

“He is still throwing around his options, we will do everything we possibly can to retain him,’’ he said.

“Leppa outlined his plans for him, what his role would be, his views on ruckmen and where they play, how they play.’’

Amid a range of complex scenarios, the Pies have discussed exchanging their picks 11 and 27 for West Coast’s sixth selection. The Eagles would then on-trade 27 to the Brisbane Lions for Elliott Yeo.

ST KILDA is set to secure Brisbane Lions ruckman Billy Longer after he told the Lions he wanted to be traded to the Saints.
It is a huge win for the Saints as they defended their list overhaul after strong criticism from club legend Barry Breen.
Head of football Chris Pelchen told the Herald Sun the club would open discussions with the Lions about a trade after being informed they were his choice.
The Saints are expected to offer their Nick Dal Santo compensation pick (No. 25) for Longer, an under-utilised ruckman taken at pick eight in the 2011 national draft.

James Polkinghorne has decided to remain a Brisbane Lion

BRISBANE forward James Polkinghorne has done a backflip and decided to stay at the Gabba.

The 24-year-old requested a trade to a club in his native Victoria towards the end of the 2013 home-and-away season, but has been convinced to remain at the Lions by new senior coach Justin Leppitsch.
“Polks had a chat to Leppa the other day and he is staying. He’s happy to stay,’’ Lions football manager Dean Warren said.

Lion Billy Longer set to become a Saint

St Kilda is poised to snare Brisbane ruckman Billy Longer after the 20-year-old, who wants to return home to Victoria, made the Saints his club of choice.

Longer was contacted by Brisbane teammates and coaching staff in a bid to persuade him to withdraw his trade request following the McEvoy deal, to no avail.

Saints head of football Chris Pelchen said it was too early to speculate on what it would take to satisfy the Lions, who are also trying to get the best-possible returns for Jared Polec, Elliot Yeo, Patrick Karnezis and Sam Docherty.

Docherty’s switch from Brisbane to Carlton remains on track.

‘‘Hopefully it gets done early next week,’’ his manager, Matt Bain, told Fairfax Media.

The clubs had been haggling over which of the Blues’ second-round picks would seal the deal. Friday’s free agent compensation picks re-set them to 32nd and 33rd overall.

Trade wrap: Sunday

Billy Longer's nomination of St Kilda as his preferred destination is expected to clear the way for several deals to get done at the start of the final week of the Gillette AFL Trade Period, chiefly involving the Brisbane Lions.

Officials from the Lions will spend the start of this week finalising deals that will see Elliot Yeo join West Coast, Sam Docherty to Carlton and Jared Polec to Port Adelaide.

They spent the weekend sifting through all sorts of scenarios to send a bunch of their younger players to their preferred destinations, which should result in a bunch of draft picks coming back the other way, and which will leave the Lions well placed to be active as the trade period winds down. Already, the three-way arrangement involving Collingwood, the Sydney Swans and the Eagles, which included the move of Jesse White from the Swans to the Magpies, has seen the Eagles end up with pick 27, which they will send to the Gabba for Yeo.

The other deals should be completed by Tuesday, giving the Lions 72 hours to move before the 2pm Friday close of business.

Collingwood set to gain Pick 6 and Jesse White at the trade table

West Coast will then on-trade No.31 to Brisbane in exchange for young defender Elliot Yeo.

The Pies are also considering snaring young Brisbane forward Patrick Karnezis, who was also a first-round draft pick back in 2010, for a late pick before Friday’s trade deadline.

Rucci

Brisbane will get Port’s No. 14 draft pick in return for losing a first-round draftee. The Power will have its first call in next month’s national draft delayed to No. 18 if it is St Kilda and No. 20 if the third party is Gold Coast.

The Power’s original plan to appease the Lions by piggybacking onto a trade that sends Brisbane ruckman Billy Longer to a Victorian-based club is alive again.

St Kilda can offer its No. 18 draft pick - the one Hawthorn served up for McEvoy - to Brisbane in the trade for Longer. The Power can then advance the Lions from No. 18 to 14 by trading Polec to Alberton.

One would think there's more to it. Longer + Polec for pick 14 doesn't add up.

“We’re offering our second round pick, but they want a first round pick,” Rohde said.

“I’d like to say we’ll have the deal done by lunch time tomorrow, but I’m not counting my chickens before they’ve hatched.”

“Brisbane would like to get their hands on that (first round) pick and give us a pick in the 20s back.

 

[JasRulz63]

Trade Wrap Monday

The deal to get Jared Polec from the Brisbane Lions to Port Adelaide is taking time, with the Power on a mission to extract a pick in the mid-20s that it can exchange for Polec.

Although Port Adelaide is not prepared to trade its pick No.14 for Polec directly, the Power is prepared to potentially give that pick to another club in exchange for two picks in the 20s.

In that case, one pick in the 20s would go to the Lions and one would remain with the Power.

Port Adelaide is understood to have discussed that option with three clubs who have multiple picks within the 20s, including St Kilda (who have pick 24 and 25), Gold Coast (who have pick 20 and 27) and Greater Western Sydney (who hold picks 21 and 22 along with picks one or two).

Another option is for Port Adelaide to exchange pick 14 to the Lions for Polec and pick 29.

Yeo was not confirmed as a West Coast player on Monday, but a deal appears imminent once the Lions have reached a deal with the Power on Polec.

The Polec talks are not only causing delays in the Yeo deal, with Sam Docherty's move to Carlton and a trade sending Patrick Karnezis to Collingwood also held up.

The Lions appear keen to get several deals in place before signing off on them.

Tall forward Luke McGuane will be given free passage by Richmond to join the Brisbane Lions as a delisted free agent.

McGuane, who played 12 games in 2013, requested a move to the Lions but a trade appears unlikely this week.

From The Age

West Coast moved from pick six to 11 but gained a second-round draft pick that will help the club trade for Elliot Yeo from the Brisbane Lions while retaining a second round draft presence. The Eagles have been linked to local draftee Dom Sheed, a player they should be able to get with pick 11.

St Kilda and Brisbane met for the first time on Monday regarding a trade for ruckman Billy Longer, who has told the Lions he wants a trade to Seaford. The Lions are understood to be asking for a first- round draft pick for the second- year player, who was a top-10 pick in the 2011 draft.
The Saints have picks three, 18, 24 and 25 and would not consider pick three in the exchange, while the Lions are believed to want more than pick 18

Roos in the mix for Karnezis

NORTH Melbourne has joined Collingwood in the chase for out-of-contract Brisbane Lions midfielder Patrick Karnezis.

AFL.com.au understands North has put forward pick No. 47 as a possible trade option for Karnezis.

Elliott Yeo heading for West Coast after Eagles 'create' a second round pick

The Brisbane Lions and West Coast have finalised a deal in which out of contract defender Elliot Yeo will join the Eagles in return for a second round draft pick.

Under the deal, the Lions will receive West Coast's second pick, no 28, in exchange for the promising Yeo, whom many from rival clubs believe is the best performed of the uncontracted players who are leaving the Lions.

The Eagles traded their second rounder, no 28, rather than the second round choice they received from Collingwood, no 31, as part of the deal that saw the Magpies move down from pick 11 in the draft to pick no 6.

 

[JasRulz63]

Trade news and whispers

There is a stalemate developing in talks, however, with the Lions juggling several balls in the air and appearing to want to sign off on a number of deals simultaneously.

St Kilda, Carlton and West Coast are unlikely to budge on their respective offers for Longer, Docherty and Yeo while Port Adelaide tries to beat Adelaide in securing a suitable deal for Polec.

It appears increasingly likely that acceptance of a trade sending Longer to St Kilda – his club of choice – will take time.

The Saints have offered their pick No.25 for the ruckman, who was a No.8 pick two years ago, but that is yet to be accepted.

The Lions are understood to be seeking pick No.18 from the Saints but St Kilda will not be handing over any of its three picks inside 20: now picks No.3, No.18 and No.19 after it secured Hawthorn's Lance Franklin compensation pick.

Yeo is expected to make his way to the Eagles in exchange for a second-round pick – No.28 or No.31 – in a deal that appears to have been agreed on by the clubs.

Docherty, meanwhile, is destined for the Blues in exchange for pick No.32 or No.33.

The reason these trades have not been completed could be so the Lions can avoid setting a low market value for their departing players and a standard for the Polec and Longer deals to follow.

 

[Dylan12]

The Blues are expected to secure Brisbane half-back Sam Docherty before Friday’s trade deadline after offering the Lion pick 33.

Meanwhile, the AFL finally ticked off on the last remnants of the Shane Savage-Ben McEvoy deal, meaning St Kilda has picks 3, 18, 19 and 25 after swapping pick 24 and 59 for Hawthorn’s pick 19.

They still hope to hand over pick 25 for Brisbane’s Billy Longer.

West Coast finally secured Brisbane’s Elliot Yeo for pick 28, and are hoping to acquire Carlton’s Josh Bootsma for pick 31.

Absolutely stinks

 

[Dylan12]

Blues close to Docherty deal

Carlton will pick up Brisbane Lions midfielder Sam Docherty for pick 33, while North Melbourne has made a bid for another departing Lion in Patrick Karnezis, who is keen to join Collingwood.

The Blues and Lions have an in-principal agreement that Carlton will part with the second of its two second-round picks - the Blues have No.32 and 33, having gained the former from Richmond for Shaun Hampson. It is possible that the Blues will add a later draft choice to complete the deal.

North has offered the Lions pick 47 for Karnezis, who has been in the sights of Collingwood, which does not have a pick in the third round after completing its complicated three-way deal with West Coast and Sydney for Jesse White and the trading of pick 11 for pick six.

While Carlton gains Docherty, who can play midfield or half-back, the Blues insist that they will not trade youngster and West Australian Josh Bootsma to the Eagles, though there has been some discussions about trading him for a player. Carlton was not satisfied with the players who were offered up and says it intends to keep Bootsma.

The Lions are in talks with StKilda about ruckman Billy Longer, who has nominated the Saints and is expected to be traded to them for a draft pick, the Saints' hand strengthened by the AFL's decision to belatedly clear a deal in which they gain pick 19 from Hawthorn in exchange for 24 and 59 - an apparent add-on to the Ben McEvoy deal that has been ratified. Longer is most likely to be traded for pick 25, the third of three choices from late in the third round the Saints have as a result of their trading and the loss of Nick Dal Santo. Longer would appear likely to be exchanged for one of 18, 19 or 25.

West Coast and the Lions say they have agreed that the Lions will receive pick 28 for Elliott Yeo, the youngster whom many rate as the best-performed of the departing out-of-contract players at Brisbane, though there could also be a late pick added to complete the transaction.

 

[JasRulz63]

The Age

Port Adelaide is looking at other options to satisfy Brisbane, which has all but finalised deals sending Elliot Yeo to West Coast and Sam Docherty to Carlton. The Lions want picks 25 and 41 from St Kilda for ruckman Billy Longer, but the Saints are only willing to move 25.

One Power option is to send pick 14 to the Gold Coast in exchange for the Suns' picks 20 and 27, a swap the clubs have discussed.

Fairfax

Brisbane Lions and St Kilda shape as major factors on the final day of the trading period, with the Lions set to acquire premiership ruckman Trent West from Geelong, while the Saints will land Billy Longer from Brisbane. St Kilda is also well placed to snare defender Josh Bruce from Greater Western Sydney.
...
Collingwood's young forward Jackson Paine is a strong chance to be traded to the Lions for Patrick Karnezis in a direct swap on the final day, pending the outcome of a medical by the Lions.

Longer will move from Brisbane to St Kilda before Friday's 2pm deadline in exchange for pick 25 and possibly a later choice, while Bruce is also expected to become a Saint. Sam Darley is likely to walk from the Giants to the Bulldogs.

West should become a Lion in exchange for one of the many picks that Brisbane has acquired from the exodus that has seen Sam Docherty move to Carlton, Elliot Yeo become an Eagle, Jared Polec land at Port, with Longer bound for the Saints and Karnezis becoming the final acquisition for Collingwood.

Magpie Paine, who had shoulder surgery after 2012, booted eight goals in six games in his debut season of 2012, but has struggled for opportunities in a forward line with Travis Cloke and sometimes Ben Reid, with Jesse White joining the Pies and father-son Darcy Moore on the horizon in next year's draft

 

[JasRulz63]

On Staker

Brisbane has received some rare good news with Brent Staker about to sign a new two-year deal.

He had spoken to Carlton as the Blues stood firm on their policy of one-year deals for veterans.

But the Lions — desperately in need of some good news stories — are likely to relent, which will keep him at Brisbane.

 

[POBT]

As painful as it is, I thought this was worth revisiting.

- All departing players declared a desired destination club at some point.

- Only Polec came close to saying publicly that he wanted to look after the Lions by picking the club who could reward us best. In the end, he just chose Port and let the trade sort itself out.

- The Lions consistently talked tough about exacting a fair price but ended up taking what they could.

- No other club budged much from their initial estimate of our players' worth.

- In the end, the club at a disadvantage folded at the trade table.

Could be a bad sign of things to come for Collingwood?
