Deadline chaos! Huge deals done in final frantic minutes as trade ... (Fox Sports)

The Hawks also let Jaeger O'Meara go, receiving Dockers ruckman Lloyd Meek plus a future second. After a second trade request Rory Lobb finally left Fremantle, ...

They instead want a first-round pick, but Geelong has not entertained the idea of swapping its Pick 7 (obtained on Tuesday in the Jack Bowes salary dump) for the Magpies’ pick 16 and Henry. But the Lions will be hopeful the Bulldogs relent in order to nab Rory Lobb, with Fremantle holding firm on its willingness to keep the contracted tall forward. But the premiers are keen to keep Ratugolea if at all possible. Ultimately, the pick for now is still with the Lions. That’s a step back from the Lions’ initial demand of Dunkley, 30 and 39 in exchange for 15 (before it was traded) and a future first. However the compensation could be determined by which clubs are willing to take on the majority of the wage on O’Meara’s contract, which still has one year to run. “We think the offer from Port to Geelong is fair, all things considered, but we continue to work on that,” Lucas told AFL Trade Radio. A trade may not be simple because the Dockers have very few picks to trade out. “He’s really excited to get to the Melbourne footy club. He is currently in the west and had a medical on Tuesday night at Fremantle HQ. “Lachie is a premiership player, life member and has a close family connection with the Bulldogs so will always be welcomed back. I think now he’s a long way down the pecking order at the Cats and is gettable,” Saints great Leigh Montagna said on Fox Footy’s Trading Day last week.
