Three-Way Deal Complete

The biggest deal of Trade Week came on its final day as Richmond, Fremantle and Collingwood each traded up. Chris Tarrant is now a Docker, Graham Polak is now a Tiger and Paul Medhurst has ended up at Collingwood.

The complex deal has also seen a barrage of first round draft picks change hands as well as the players themselves. Since Fremantle have lost 2 players to gain Tarrant, it would be assumed that they would need to be compensated in picks and that is exactly what has happened by swiping pick number 8 of Richmond.

Although gaining Tarrant will prove to be a good move for Fremantle who are looking to improve upon last seasons effort, losing Polak may prove hurtful considering he can be a great utility player. It will also be interesting to see how the Pies utilise Medhurst on the field and how he fits into the club.

Richmond may go one better next season and possibly make the finals now that they have Polak, yet it is to be seen how he performs at the club.

With the 2pm deadline just 20 minutes away, it would be safe to assume that the deals for trade week are well and truly done, and this would have to be the biggest of them coming at its climax.

If anything at all does appear within that time-frame I'll be sure to post it on here and comment on it. Until then, have a good one.
