AFL: The Bombers secured Jade Gresham as a restricted free agent when St Kilda opted not to match the bid.
What your club has done this trade period... and what’s left to doA deal that’s somewhat unexpectedly dragged out to the second week of the trade period as the clubs haggle, with Melbourne having reportedly offered up its future second-round pick . A generous enough offer for the 28-year old, who played seven games this season, though that 2024 pick would likely be in the 30s.
Straight player swaps are so rare these days, with the Lewis Jetta-Callum Sinclair exchange in 2015 the last of its kind. But all signs are pointing to Duursma and Zerk-Thatcher being involved in one this week, with one list manager tellingthey think that’d be a fair deal, and frankly, it makes a lot of sense after the pair’s careers have levelled out. Essendon is happy to retain Zerk-Thatcher, 25, if need be, having offered the defender a three-year extension to remain at the club.
The stalemate is perhaps the most intriguing deal to watch over the coming days and one expected to go down to the wire after Port’s initial offer of Pick 24 – a selection it got from a pick swap with Fremantle – was rejected by Geelong. Though the Cats are the side playing hard ball given Pick 24 is more than a reasonable offer, pressure is building on the Power given the amount of deals they still need to complete.
