TRADE TRACKER: See every done deal for every AFL club

TRADE BOILOVER!

FREMANTLE has pulled out of the race for Melbourne’s Jesse Hogan, after the Dockers were unable to meet the Demons’ demands for the star forward.

“While discussions were proceeding it became clear that what Melbourne would be seeking for a trade would not be possible for our club to meet,” football boss Peter Bell said.

MAKE ME A SAINT

Sydney Swans premiership player Dan Hannebery has joined St Kilda on a five-year deal.

Sydney received pick 39 and a 2019 second-round pick in exchange for the midfielder and Pick 28.

It is understood the deal is for five years at $800k.

GIANTS YOUNGSTER BECOMES A BLUE

Young Giant Will Setterfield has been traded to Carlton.

The Blues have parted with their third round draft pick (currently Pick 43) and a 2019 second-round pick for Setterfield and GWS’ fourth rounder (currently Pick 71).

NEALE DEAL HOLD UP

Wantaway star Lachie Neale met with new Fremantle footy boss Peter Bell on Wednesday - the first meeting between the pair.

Foxfooty.com.au’s Tom Morris reports Bell believed he could convince Neale to stay at the club, but he failed to do so with the midfielder remaining “adamant” he wants to head to Brisbane.

“It was Peter Bell’s belief that he was going to be able to get him to turn around and say ‘yep, I’ll stay at Fremantle’,” Morris said on Fox Footy’s The Trade Lowdown.

“Lachie Neale listened and said, ‘no, actually I really want to go to Brisbane.’”

SCULLY SET TO HEAD SOUTH

GREATER Western Sydney onballer Tom Scully is set to return home to Victoria, due to family circumstances - according to reports.

Herald Sun journalist Jon Ralph explained his decision to come back to Melbourne was based on family circumstances and not the GWS salary cap position.

Scully met with Hawthorn in the first week of trade period, with the Hawks appearing to be in the box seat, should a trade request become formal.

DEES, ROOS, SAINTS DO DEALS

Melbourne has been busy on Friday morning, trading Dean Kent to St Kilda - and has received Braydon Preuss from North Melbourne, after trading midfielder Dom Tyson to the Roos.

POWER SET TO SEND MEDICAL STAFF TO USA

PORT Adelaide’s desire to secure Ryan Burton in the Chad Wingard trade is set to see them send some of their medical department across to the United States to assess the young Hawk this weekend.

Former Power great Kane Cornes revealed Port Adelaide will meet Burton in America, who is holidaying with some of his Hawthorn teammates, to perform a medical examination before accelerating the deal.
