As of this morning, Benjamin is going dark on footy news until the end of the #AFLTrade Period. Here are his final thoughts on the chances of 30 players being traded, and the impact those trades would have on the #AFL at large.

Replying to @AFL
Not only are the gather round fixtures completely wrong, but they’ve also got them at the wrong venue…

I remember him as a Bulldog, with BT always messing up his last name as "Bedenbo" or something in that area. -B

Brisbane forward Will McLachlan has requested a trade to Melbourne. The out-of-contract 21-year-old met with Melbourne and Essendon earlier this week but has decided on the Dees after their long pursuit. @TradeRadio @AFLcomau

The potential movement we're obviously following with the most interest. I had it at 60% last time. I may downgrade it to ≤ 40% now. -B #WeAreGeelong #AFLTrade
"He won't be at West Coast and it is unlikely he will play for anyone but Geelong next year." - Liam Pickering on his client Gryan Miers staying at Geelong next year

Cameron Bruce, then? (I hope not, I want the Eagles to hire him once McQualter is sacked by next year's bye) -B #Uncaged #AFLTrade #AFL
Cam and Pickers react to the news that Danny Daly has ruled himself out of the race for the Brisbane Lions head coaching role. @repco_service | #AFLTrade

Makes me wonder if Geelong is eyeing 21 from West Coast in anything that might involve Miers… 14 and 21 would definitely help Geelong be movers. -B #AFLTrade #AFL
Geelong will almost certainly need to use Pick 14 in a potential bid to secure Nick Blakey in a trade across the next week. It puts Rowan Marshall’s move to the Cats in limbo for the second time in as many years. St. K is happy to hold him to his deal. @7NewsMelbourne

"The Cats are now considering whether they go all in for the star half back.. it's believed Blakey and his (management) team will start looking into their options in the next 48 hours and whether there is a viable path out of Sydney" Xander McGuire on Nick Blakey @aflratings_GM

Was rapt to see Jaymie Graham quite firm on North Melbourne's main on-field issue today. It paled in comparison to seeing what a great human he seems to be, but kicking a footy still has its moments. Some words to illustrate the importance of fixing the forward half game ⤵️

Hey @GeelongCats Please don’t trade my favorite player I think it wouldn’t make the team any better Thanks, Ethan

He's your best setup inside 50 Great runner High pressure Good tackler Already your best draft scout Unless it immediately lands Butters, Reid or Rowell there is zero rationalizing it

Love this for Richmond. Got him for nothing. Does he play opposite Retschko or go into the middle?
It’s Official. Nathan O’Driscoll has been Traded. Fremantle will receive Pick 61 in return.
