THE AFL trade period is over, with a relatively uneventful day completing a tumultous two weeks or so.

In the biggest deals confirmed in the final hours, Essendon finally agreed to trade Paddy Ryder to Port Adelaide and swooped on Bulldog star Adam Cooney and Giant Jonathan Giles.

AFL trades - Thursday Oct 16

INS AND OUTS: EVERY TRADE AT EVERY CLUB

After a 14-day standoff that included failed AFL mediation, the Bombers agreed to send Ryder to the Power for picks No.17 and 37 in the draft.

They immediately swapped pick No.37 to the Bulldogs for Brownlow Medallist Adam Cooney.

Cooney said his relationship with coach James Hird was a key reason for choosing the Bombers.

Bombers list manager Adrian Dodoro said Essendon was “delighted” to land Cooney.

“Adam is a proven performer and will add important outside speed to our side as well as valuable experience to our midfield group.”

The Bulldogs said Cooney left with no hard feelings.

“Adam and (wife) Haylea’s contribution to the club is well known and greatly appreciated — we wish him all the best in the future,” CEO Simon Garlick said.

DEPARTURE LOUNGE: EVERY DELISTING AND RETIREMENT

EVERY PICK: UPDATED DRAFT ORDER

Essendon also landed a replacement for Ryder in GWS ruckman Jonathan Giles, in exchange for pick 53.

Meanwhile, Hawthorn has traded midfielder Mitch Hallahan to Gold Coast for picks No.47 and 49.

Wednesday was a massive trade day, headlined by now-former Giant Tom Boyd becoming a Western Bulldog.

Greater Western Sydney dropped its own trade bombshell by backflipping on its point-blank refusal to trade last year’s No.1 draft pick.

Wednesday’s mega trade saw the Dogs captain, Ryan Griffen, and their prized No.6 draft pick head to GWS.

Nineteen-year-old Boyd, who has played nine AFL matches, has signed a seven-year deal worth about $1 million a year.

In other deal, Heritier Lumumba is a Demon, Mitch Clark is a Cat and Travis Varcoe a Magpie after a three-way trade was completed.

And Dayne Beams is officially a Brisbane Lion.

Collingwood receive picks No.5, 25 and Jack Crisp from Brisbane in exchange for Beams and pick 67.

The deal paved the way for North Melbourne midfielder Levi Greenwood to join Collingwood for pick No.25.

SILLY SEASON: VOTE FOR THE BIGGEST SURPRISE

ADELAIDE

The Crows’ hunt for a ruckman eventually landed Luke Lowden from Hawthorn along with defender Kyle Cheney.

The Crows landed the pair - as well as picks No.43, 47 and 59 - from the Hawks in exchange for picks No.31, 50 and 68.

The Crows also made the final deal of the trade period, swapping picks with Geelong at the death. The Crows’ picks No.10 and 47 head to the Cattery for picks No.14 and 35.

Despite feverish speculation early in the trade period, Patrick Dangerfield remains a Crow.

BRISBANE LIONS

The long-winded Dayne Beams deal was finally completed on Wednesday.

Collingwood received picks No.5, 25 and big-bodied midfielder Jack Crisp in return.

It is a massive coup for the Lions who have been battling the Magpies all trade period. They also managed to retain their stable of stars; Tom Rockliff, Jack Redden, Pearce Hanley and Dayne Zorko.

The Beams deal comes after the Lions secured crafty midfield-forward Allen Christensen from Geelong, with the Cats compensated with pick No. 21.

Great to have Allan Christensen on board at the lions ! #gun — Josh Green (@joshgreen_6) October 13, 2014

Lions list manager Peter Schwab, said Christensen was a valuable addition.

“Allen is a fantastic player who brings some good finals experience to our young list. He offers a great injection of pace into our side and will be a valuable addition,” Schwab said.

Daniel Merrett explored his options but did not make a move despite some interest from the Western Bulldogs, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Joel Patfull joined GWS in exchange for Pick 21, which was subsequently sent to Geelong for premiership forward Allen Christensen.

Young defender Daniel McStay is McStaying (sorry) for two more years.

CARLTON

Kristian Jaksch arrived at the Blues along with tall midfielder Mark Whiley and pick No. 18 on Wednesday.

The Giants received the Blues pick No. 7 in return.

As Thursday’s deadline loomed, the Blues also secured Liam Jones from the Western Bulldogs, giving up pick No.46 for the key forward.

Jeff Garlett is off to Melbourne for picks 61 and 79 andJarrad Waite is off to North Melbourne as a free agent.

Kane Lucas remains without a contract, but the 23-year-old is still a Blue for now with no trade secured.

COLLINGWOOD

The Magpies sent Dayne Beams away to the Brisbane Lions and received picks No. 5, 25 and Jack Crisp in return.

Heritier Lumumba was traded to Melbourne and the Magpies received Travis Varcoe from Geelong in return.

Pick No.25 has been sent to North Melbourne in exchange for Levi Greenwood, who has accepted a four-year deal at the club.

Magpies list manager Derek Hine said the arrivals of Greenwood, Crisp and Varcoe meant it was an exciting time for the club.

“The rationale from all parties concerned obviously we’re mindful that with H (Heritier) going out and also Dayne we really needed to bring in some matured aged talent,” Hine told Magpies TV.

“Levi Greenwood’s come off a career best year ... he’s at a point of his career now where he’s really ready to accelerate.”

Hine said Varcoe and Crisp would be used to boost the Magpies’ running game.

“He’ll (Varcoe) play more of an outside role game where can use his pace and give us scope with a little bit more outside run.”

The Pies also locked away boom father-son key forward Darcy Moore.

ESSENDON

After a two-week standoff the Bombers agreed to trade Paddy Ryder to Port Adelaide.

With an hour left in the Trade Period, the Bombers accepted the Power’s offer of picks No.17 and 37 for the ruckman-forward.

Following the long-awaited deal, the Bombers secured a replacement in GWS ruckman Jonathan Giles for pick No.53

Pick No.37 was then on-traded to the Western Bulldogs for Adam Cooney.

At the weekend the Bombers officially signed delisted free agent James Gwilt. Gwilt had been without a club after being delisted by St Kilda in September.

The defender could help strengthen the Bombers’ defence should ASADA show-cause notices result in suspensions or injuries hit in 2015.

Jason Winderlich will stay at Essendon after retiring, changing his mind, then asking to be traded to Richmond.

Youngster Elliott Kavanagh also requested a trade to a rival club, as did Kyle Hardingham, who is out of contract and wants to find another home.

The Dons also secured Conor McKenna after becoming the first club to identify him at a draft combine in Ireland last December.

Ben Howlett has re-signed with the club for two seasons.

FREMANTLE

The Dockers missed out on James Frawley and Jarrad Waite as it failed to hook a big fish again. However, Luke McPharlin is set to play on.

The search for a new key forward rekindled hopes of attracting West Australian product Aaron Black back home from North Melbourne, but North held firm that he was not on the table.

Black, 23, seriously considered a move to Fremantle last year before signing a hefty four-year deal at North through to the 2017 season.

GEELONG

Geelong have pulled off a last-second deal to improve their draft position.

The Cats now have picks No.10 and 47 after a deal with Adelaide, who receive picks No.14 and 35.

On Wednesday, the Cats acquired St Kilda tall forward Rhys Stanley and Pick 60 in exchange for pick No.21.

That pick arrived at the Cattery on Monday in exchange for Allen Christensen, who joined the Brisbane Lions.

Mitch Clark joined the Cats, with Travis Varcoe going to Collingwood as part of a three-way deal that also saw Heritier Lumumba become a Demon.

Amazing show of loyalty to this great club by a great man! @tomlonergan13 — Andrew Mackie (@AndrewMackie_4) October 10, 2014

Full-back Tom Lonergan knocked back a three-year contract offer from the Western Bulldogs that even the Cats admitted could be too good to refuse.

The Bulldogs offered the veteran full-back an attractive three-year deal reportedly worth $500,000 per season.

“It was a very enticing offer from the Doggies but in the end I love the boys at the (Geelong) footy club and I’ll end up staying,” he told Triple M.

Lonergan admitted the turmoil at the Bulldogs, which included captain Ryan Griffen walking out of the club and coach Brendan McCartney being sacked, played a big part in his decision to stay a Cat.

GOLD COAST

The Suns added to their stable of young stars after picking up Hawthorn midfielder Mitch Hallahan for picks 47 and 49 on Thursday.

The former JJ Liston Trophy winner will add a tough, inside element to the Suns’ midfield group.

Earlier, the Suns landed free agent Nick Malceski on a three-year deal in a massive coup for the club.

Just heard the news.. Very excited to be playing along side @NMalceski_9 next year — Trent Mckenzie (@tmckenzie18) October 6, 2014

The All Australian said he was ready to help the Suns push for a premiership.

“I’m obviously sad to leave the Swans, but very excited about the challenge and opportunity at Gold Coast,” Malceski said.

“The club is looking to make finals next year and I believe in the list we’ve got and the talent we’ve got that we can make finals next year and really push in the next couple of years for a premiership.”

GWS GIANTS

Arguably, the Trade Period’s biggest deal saw Tom Boyd become a Western Bulldog after just one year at the Giants.

The No.1 pick in last year's draft was traded for Bulldogs skipper Ryan Griffen and the No.6 pick in next month’s draft.

The mega-deal directly contradicted a club statement on Monday that Boyd would not be traded “under any circumstances”.

On Thursday, the Giants also lost Sam Frost to Melbourne (for pick No.40 and 53), picking up selection No.23 in the process.

Jonathan Giles and pick No.62 was sent to Essendon in exchange for pick No.53

The Giants also landed Brisbane full-back Joel Patfull.

Jono O’Rourke is now a Hawk in exchange for pick 19 and gaining a couple of spots in the draft order at the end of the second round.

Kristian Jaksch, midfielder Mark Whiley and pick No. 18 were given to Carlton in exchange for Pick No. 7.

HAWTHORN

The Hawks secured former No.2 draft pick Jono O’Rourke from GWS in the first deal of the trade period.

The Hawks gave up pick No.19 and also swapped picks at the end of the second round for the 20-year-old they hope will become a key member of the midfield.

However, that deal squeezed Mitch Hallahan out, with Gold Coast pouncing with picks No.47 and 49.

Fringe ruckman Luke Lowden, defender Kyle Cheney and picks No.43, 47 and 59 go to Adelaide with picks No.31, 50 and 68 coming back in return.

Veteran Brad Sewell was not offered another contract and announced his retirement at the club’s best-and-fairest.

MELBOURNE

A touted trade for former captain Jack Trengove stalled after the unlucky midfielder re-aggravated the navicular injury in his left foot.

Richmond had reportedly offered pick No.12 but has since withdrawn its interest after Trengove broke down again as he increased his training workload.

Jeff Garlett will be at Melbourne next year after the club offloaded picks 61 and 79 for the exciting small forward.

Garlett had been on the outer at Carlton after he was suspended for failing to reveal his involvement in a late night altercation.

Mitch Clark departed for Geelong.

James Frawley joined Hawthorn after exercising his right as an unrestricted free agent. The Demons were compensated with pick No.3.

Picked up Sam Frost and picks No.40 and 53 from GWS in exchange for pick No.23 and welcomed Heritier Lumumba from Collingwood in a three-way deal with Collingwood and Geelong.

NORTH MELBOURNE

Levi Greenwood was traded to Collingwood in exchange for pick No.25. Greenwood, 25, finished equal second in the Kangaroos best and fairest after a career-best season.

He was originally only offered a one-year deal from North Melbourne before the club upgraded a contract offer following his breakout year, but Collingwood trumped it with a four-year contract.

The Kangaroos wasted no time when free agency opened with Jarrad Waite and Shaun Higgins both done deals.

PORT ADELAIDE

Scored what could be the deal of the trade period by bringing in Paddy Ryder for picks 17 and 37.

RICHMOND

Called off trade talks with Jack Trengove after the medical checks by the Tigers revealed the midfielder had re-injured his foot.

Showed interest in Levi Greenwood before he chose Collingwood.

ST KILDA

Rhys Stanley and Pick No.60 are now at Geelong in exchange for pick No.21.

Swan Tim Membrey has announced he wants to join the Saints and looks set to arrive via the pre-season draft.

Held onto the No.1 draft pick despite suggestions they would trade it.

At the weekend the Bombers officially signed delisted free agent James Gwilt. Gwilt had been without a club after being delisted by St Kilda in September.

Lost out to Hawthorn in the race for Giant Jono O’Rourke.

SYDNEY

The club is unable to bring any players into the club via the trade or free agency periods until the 2017 season or risk losing its COLA.

The Swans lost free agent Nick Malceski, who accepted a contract offer from Gold Coast, and midfielder Shane Biggs to the Bulldogs with a swap of picks No.37 and 39.

Adam Goodes has announced he will play on next season.

Young forward Tim Membrey has told Swans chiefs he wants to move elsewhere, with that elsewhere being St Kilda.

Daniel Hannebery went nowhere, despite Victorian clubs including Richmond expressing interest in the 23-year-old star.

WEST COAST

Branched out into international waters to sign Irish young gun Paddy Brophy for next season.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

On of the busiest clubs after skipper Ryan Griffen dropped the biggest bombshell of the trade period on Thursday when he requested a trade to GWS.

The deal finally went through on Wednesday with Griffen becoming a Giant in exchange for last year’s No.1 draft pick Tom Boyd — after a backflip from GWS which had declared him off-limits.

The Dogs also give up pick No.6 in the deal.

Boyd’s manager Liam Pickering said the key forward saw at bright future at Whitten Oval and would have moved at the end of next season if a deal wasn’t done.

“He sees a future at the Bulldogs. He sees (Marcus) Bontempelli, knows Bontempelli. He knows (Jake) Stringer, he knows (Jack) Macrae, he knows those young blokes. He’s assessed their list — he’s a very switched on young bloke,” he said.

Adam Cooney also joined the experience exodus as he moved to Essendon for pick No.37.

As the trade deadline loomed, Liam Jones was shipped to Carlton in exchange for pick No.46. Jason Tutt was also rumoured to be apart of the deal but will likely enter the pre-season trade.

To bolster the midfield, the Dogs picked up fringe midfielder Shane Biggs from Sydney.

Shaun Higgins exercised his restricted free agency rights and is now a Kangaroo. The Dogs declined to match North Melbourne’s offer and will receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.
