Trade period 2021

What a load of crap this so called trade period has been. Nothing more than a media frenzy about nothing. Trying to make nothing trades out to be magnificent movements and strategy from clubs. Cant believe the amout and voulume of articles that are written about nothing. Click bait insanity,
Very underwhelming trade period to say the least. I used to look forward to this time of year but this year it was basically non event.
As the above poster mentioned trades like the NBA would spice things up & perhaps once a players contract is up they become a free agent no matter how long at that club , they could choose to re sign or explore free agency & allow in season trades up until say round 18.

Have they done the grading yet for each club?
A+ for anyone who actual completed 2 trades
B for any club that traded a player
C for trading picks
D for do nothing.
I personally think we did very good in this trade period. Replaced Astbury and moved up on our second and third round picks. We’re in a good spot
I’m guessing the lower end of the AFL pay scale is not high enough to justify this.
If you’re Marlion Pickett on a minimum wage you can’t really trade him out to a Gold Coast at the drop of a hat, for instance.
Just listening to SEN and a deluded Essendon supporter rang in to say the Essendon should flat out refuse to deal with Jason McCartney ever again. They were forced to overpay for Stringer/Shiel/Smith and Caldwell and now Jason was too mean to let Bobby Hill get to Essendon. A player that only recently said he would not be leaving, he not that type of bloke, yet it transpires his manager was talking to Essendon last month. AND he dropped the demand on GWS with only 3 days to go in the trade period.
A supporter of a club that has Adrian “I am just too generous for my own good” Dodoro as head of list management?
Wow just sums it up completely.

best trade of the week
great idea
He is 1 of the very few Oppostion
Players that i didn't mind.
Penderbury Betts Gawn and Lindsey Gilbee
As we either chose to, or could not afford to chase an elite inside midfielder, I wondered the thoughts of taking a chance on Aaron vandenBerg - he was delisted by a club with possibly the best mids in the comp.
We badly need an inside bull, and if he is over his run of injuries he may fit the bill for a year or two.
We give up nothing (but a spot on the list) to get him, and he would be as cheap as chips.
Given we have a strong defensive unit, Strength in our Rucks with Soldo back teaming with Nank, and a few really good options up forward, having a throw at the stumps for one more flag by playing a bit of money ball may just
pay dividends.

I feel for the lad, been a good servant for Adelaide.
Truth be told things worked out real well for us.
Instead of a replacement for Astbury, we got a replacement for Rance.
The back seven will return to 2017-18 levels of eye-watering domination, Jack.

For those that are having a whinge that we did nothing in the trade period or weren’t aggressive enough, Do you guys realise that the salary cap for next year hasn’t been finalised yet by the AFL....
It’s what kept most clubs quiet.
AFL is truly run by amateurs in the context of world sport.
