Armstrong, Johnston swapped

6:39 PM Sat 15 October, 2011


THE SYDNEY Swans have reached agreement with Adelaide to secure half-back Tony Armstrong, along with selection 35 and a late pick in the NAB AFL National Draft.

In exchange, 20-year-old Swan Lewis Johnston will join the Crows in a trade that will see both players return to their home states.

The deal was finalised on Saturday afternoon, with the paperwork to be lodged with the AFL on Monday.

Armstrong, 22, has played 14 games for the Crows and has impressed with his ball use and run off the half back line. He played for NSW/ACT at Under 18 level and was taken by the Crows at pick 58 in the 2007 draft.

Longmire rules out Fevola

By Jennifer Witham 12:32 PM Mon 10 October, 2011


THE SYDNEY Swans hope to talk with Adelaide regarding homesick defender Tony Armstrong but have ruled out Brendan Fevola as a replacement for retired key forward Daniel Bradshaw.

Armstrong has stated he wants to return to his native New South Wales after four years in Adelaide.

Swans coach John Longmire said his club had spoken briefly with the Crows in the lead-up to trade week and Adelaide had indicated talks were likely to happen late in the exchange period.

"We had a brief conversation with them last week but nothing has transpired yet and I guess things will move along this week," Longmire told afl.com.au's Trade Week Radio on Monday morning.

Power recruit's big break

By Katrina Gill 2:18 PM Tue 12 October, 2010

SIMON Phillips cut a forlorn figure on the Norwood bench late in the last quarter of the SANFL decider against Central District two weeks ago.

His side was moments away from tasting a bitter defeat, having blown an early three-goal lead and he was preparing for a stay in hospital to have multiple fractures in his jaw repaired.

In the wake of the match the 23-year-old's phone was running hot with people offering their commiserations on the loss and text messages from concerned family and friends who had witnessed the heavy bump from Central's star Ian Callinan that forced him from the ground nursing his jaw.

Trade week: left at the gates

By staff reporters 5:03 PM Mon 11 October, 2010

ADELAIDE
The Crows were strongly linked to Carlton's Andrew Walker but no deal could be struck.

BRISBANE LIONS
West Australian natives Mitch Clark and Daniel Rich were linked with moves back home but nothing came from that and both should continue with the Lions next year.

CARLTON
Andrew Walker didn't get the clean slate he was after. Adelaide, Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs all expressed varying levels of interest, but he was left at the altar each time. Bret Thornton and Setanta O'hAilpin were also hoping to reignite their careers elsewhere, but couldn't find new homes.

Trade winds: Tarrant in limbo on a busy Blue day

By Michael Rogers 8:07 AM Mon 11 October, 2010

A STALEMATE between Fremantle and Collingwood over Chris Tarrant looms as the key deal on the last day of trade week, which concludes at 2pm on Monday.

Fremantle is looking for a NAB AFL Draft selection inside the top 50 for defender Tarrant, who is set on a move to Collingwood. However, The Age reported that the Magpies' pick 55, which was obtained from Freo as part of the Andrew Krakouer deal, could form part of an acceptable exchange.

The Herald Sun has a different take on the impasse, reporting that Fremantle wants Collingwood's second-round pick but the Magpies will only give up their fourth-rounder.

Both Melbourne papers report that Carlton looks set to be active on the final day trading.

Trade winds: Freo to lose Tarrant for nothing

By Katrina Gill 11:38 AM Sun 10 October, 2010

IT IS increasingly likely Fremantle will lose uncontracted defender Chris Tarrant for nothing after Collingwood ruled out giving up pick No.43 in next month's NAB AFL Draft for the 30-year-old.

Tarrant walked out on the Dockers to return to Melbourne at the end of the season and has nominated former club Collingwood as his team of choice.

The Pies, who are aware they can secure the veteran as a free agent in the pre-season or national drafts, are refusing to budge on their offer of pick No.55, according to a report in the Sunday Herald Sun.

Where your club stands

By Michael Rogers, Ben Broad, Jason Phelan and Nathan Schmook 2:01 PM Sat 09 October, 2010

ADELAIDE
Trades confirmed: Richard Tambling (Richmond) for Adelaide's end-of-first round compensation for losing Nathan Bock, and a third-round draft selection (No.50).
On the table: Jon Griffin is seeking a return home to Western Australia to be closer to his ill father and the Crows are confident they can get a deal done with Fremantle.
Targets: Carlton ruckman Sam Jacobs has requested a trade to Adelaide but the Blues are playing hardball, demanding a first-round draft pick for the uncontracted South Australian. Jacobs has indicated he'll go into the NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft if an agreement between the two clubs can't be reached in the exchange period.

Stalemate for Sherman

By Ben Broad 5:32 PM Fri 08 October, 2010

JUSTIN Sherman's determination to get to the Western Bulldogs may be thwarted by the fact the Brisbane Lions think they can get a better deal elsewhere.

The Bulldogs have offered the Lions the end-of-first-round selection they received as compensation for losing Jarrod Harbrow to Gold Coast - which is expected to be pick 28 or 29 should it be used in next month's NAB AFL Draft.

But the Sydney Swans, also desperate to land the hard-running midfielder, have offered the Lions their first-round selection (No.21).

After requesting a trade from the Lions, Sherman nominated the Bulldogs as his preferred club and in recent days said he was not interested in playing for the Swans.
