The poor guys who have to write this stuff, needed to come up with so many different ways to say "tumbleweeds". How many more days does this drag on for?
Here is a summary of what your club did (and didn't) on the first day of player trading for 2016.
ADELAIDE: Started the process to bring Bryce Gibbs to the club from Carlton.
BRISBANE LIONS: Lots of discussions about no.2 pick, Tom Rockliff and Pearce Hanley. Rockliff will probably stay, Hanley will likely leave.
CARLTON: Blindsided a bit by the Gibbs news but he is under contract, so the Blues hold the aces. Zach Tuohy declared he wants to move to Geelong.
COLLINGWOOD: Likely to get Daniel Wells. Kicking the tyres around Rockliff.
ESSENDON: Not much happening yet.
FREMANTLE: Inching closer to securing Cam McCarthy from GWS. In talks for Hawthorn's Bradley Hill. No major update on Hayden Ballantyne, Michael Barlow and Chris Mayne, although they want Ballantyne to stay.
GEELONG: Flagged interest in Brett Deledio. Reportedly after Carlton's Zach Tuohy. Daniel Menzel signed for another season.
GOLD COAST: After a topline Hawk in exchange for Jaeger O'Meara.
GWS: Inching closer to releasing Cam McCarthy to Fremnantle. But imagine the deal had they done it 12 months prior.
HAWTHORN: Secured Ty Vickery, learned officially that Tom Mitchell wants to come and kicked off the Jaeger O'Meara talks.
MELBOURNE: Not much happened.
NORTH MELBOURNE: Lost Daniel Wells, almost certainly to Collingwood and missed out on Carlton's Zac Tuohy who wants to join Geelong.
PORT ADELAIDE: Still open to offers for Hamish Hartlett.
RICHMOND: Chose not to keep Hawthorn-bound Ty Vickery. Will Brett Deledio follow him out the door?
ST KILDA: No wheeling and dealing on day one.
SYDNEY SWANS: Midfielder Tom Mitchell wants a trade to Hawthorn.
WESTERN BULLDOGS: Not much happening at the moment.
WEST COAST: No concrete developments just yet.
