Trade special: Where your club sits

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
The Giants secured the second pick in the NAB AFL Draft on Friday morning, sending Dom Tyson to Melbourne and swapping picks with the Demons.
Ruckman Shane Mumford joined the club, while Heath Shaw is also intending to move north on a five-year deal. That is yet to be signed off, with the Giants and Collingwood in negotiations over a trade that would see Taylor Adams join the Magpies.
Geelong’s premiership defender Josh Hunt has had a medical with the club and is hopeful of bolstering its young defence, with out-of-contract Swan Andrejs Everitt also in GWS’ sights.
The AFL’s 18th club has also been linked with Saint Sam Fisher. Defender Josh Bruce intends to join St Kilda.
SYDNEY SWANS
The stunning signing of Lance Franklin on a nine-year deal rocked the trade period and has forced a shake-up of the Swans’ list.
Having put off contract talks until the end of the season, Shane Mumford never received an offer from the club, instead taking a lucrative deal from GWS over another approach from Hawthorn as Franklin’s hefty deal forced him to look elsewhere.
As of Friday, out-of-contract trio Jesse White, Andrejs Everitt and Tony Armstrong are still members of the Swans, but it is considered only a matter of time until they find new homes.
White favours a move to Collingwood and Everitt has drawn interest from St Kilda, West Coast and GWS, while Armstrong’s future is unclear but Collingwood has some reported interest.
