Apparently this year’s trade period was the worst since 2011 did not ease any salary cap pressures and failed to score any draft picks woeful I has us as a 3/10 on the AFL website scored by the fans

Niall:

"Conversely, Collingwood bringing back Dayne Beams was a relatively expensive trade that's not looking flash. If they'd not reached a deal last year – as Carlton, the Swans and Dons couldn't in the Papley/Daniher love triangle – the Pies would still have their first pick this year and a little more room in their loaded salary cap.
...

Indeed, the instant grading and ranking of trades is a complete nonsense, but it has become necessary content – more so since an entrepreneurial Craig Hutchison and the AFL joined forces to expand what I term the Player Movement Industrial Complex – a new media economy within the game...

This new economy of player movement again produced massive interest and numbers in 2019, with the AFL and Hutchy's Crocmedia figures showing Trade Radio increased streams from 1.367 million to 2.96 million, peaking at 737,000 on deadline day.

These numbers belied the reality that there were more platforms and journalists covering this trade period than actual trades. So, there were deadly dull days..."

So are we only delisting 1 player? Looking likely at this stage.

We only have 3 selections in the draft, so we may not know who is best to delist until after that.
