Live: Shai Bolton set to join Fremantle as star Bulldogs trio remain in limbo ahead of trade deadline

Will the Giants get their deals done?
Do you think GWS will move on either the Peatling or Stringer trades today (or any secret other deals)?
– Bec
Hi Bec,
I do think the Giants get the James Peatling and Jake Stringer deals done.
As for secret deals, your guess is as good as mine.
There’s only one way to find out!
All I Want for Christmas is TRADES
Good morning Chris! Today must be like Christmas Day for you.
What trades are you most likely foreseeing going through today and which ones do you think won’t?
– David
Morning David,
I can’t lie today does have a bit of a Christmas morning type feel to it.
I think Bailey Smith and Jake Stringer find new homes today.
I fear Jack Macrae might be stuck at the Bulldogs, unfortunately for his sake.
Clayton Oliver probably ends up remaining a Melbourne player as well unless Andrew Mackie and Geelong can pull an absolute rabbit out of the hat.
Will the Bulldogs bite on Macrae offer?
Do you think the bulldogs will accept the saint offer whcih just happened?
– frank
Hi Frank,
To be frank (sorry, couldn’t help myself), I can’t see the Bulldogs accepting this offer.
Pick 47 is the worst of five picks St Kilda owns this year, and I’d imagine the Bulldogs would want something closer to the pick 32 the Saints have.
Let’s wait and see!
Saints lodge latest offer for Jack Macrae
According to AFL.com.au’s Cal Twomey, St Kilda has offered pick 47 to the Bulldogs in exchange for Jack Macrae.
Fremantle, Richmond reach agreement on Shai Bolton deal
We’ve got some early action on deadline day!
Multiple reports suggesting Fremantle and Richmond have agreed on a deal that will send Shai Bolton to the Dockers.
According to Seven’s Mitch Cleary, this is the framework of the deal:
- Richmond gets: picks 10, 11, 18
- Fremantle gets: Shai Bolton, pick 14 and a 2025 Richmond third-round pick
Welcome!
Good morning my trade friends!
Against all odds, we have made it.
It is here – DEADLINE DAY.
I hope you’re ready to revel in all the mayhem that is ahead of us because I know I am.
Just a reminder that no trades can be made official until 2pm AEDT today, and the deadline is at 7.30pm AEDT.
In case you missed yesterday’s action, the headline act was of course Dan Houston joining Collingwood in a three-team trade.
