AFL trades: Follow all the action from the third-last day of the trade period

Will Brodie gets his wish, with the Dockers’ depth midfielder landing at Port Adelaide.

As revealed by The West Australian, Brodie will be sent to the Power for a sixth-round pick that currently sits at No.103.

Freo are unlikely to use that selection, with the midfielder’s exit to the Power clearing up a second spot on their main list ahead of next month’s draft, and most importantly, some valuable salary-cap space.

Here’s West Coast list manager Matt Clarke on the Eagles’ acquisition of Tylar Young from Richmond:

“We’re really pleased to bring Tylar into our football club and believe he can make an immediate impact for us next season,” Clarke said.

“Tylar is a strong-bodied and mature key defender who our coach Andrew McQualter knows well from their time together.

“With his size and stature, he is capable of competing against the AFL’s power forwards and he will complement our existing defensive stocks.”

After their move to land Tylar Young, West Coast are now the equal-busiest club of the trade and free agency period so far.

In terms of being involved in a trade, a free agent acquisition, or losing a free agent, the Eagles have been a part of five different moves this month.

St Kilda and Carlton have also been involved in five, with Melbourne on four and Freo, Brisbane and Gold Coast on three.

At the other end of the scale, Adelaide is the sole club who is yet to be a part of a single move so far.

The Dogs and Giants have one of the AFL’s best modern-day rivalries, but they work together to hash out a deal here.

GWS give up picks 14 and 37 to bring in pick 12 from the Bulldogs.

The Dogs are reportedly looking to deploy pick 37 to secure Connor Budarick from Gold Coast. Freo fans will likely remember Budarick from this year’s elimination final, where he booted a pair of second-quarter goals to help the Suns open up their lead.

West Coast have strengthened their Richmond connection with this latest deal.

Andrew McQualter knows Tylar Young well, with the backman playing all 13 games that McQualter stood in as Tigers coach for in the 2023 season after Damien Hardwick exited as coach.

Those 13 games were also alongside Liam Baker and Jack Graham in yellow and black, with that quartet now all in blue and gold.

The 196cm mature-age starter ruptured his ACL in the VFL last year before returning at the back end of this season, playing the last seven AFL games of the year for the struggling Tigers. That included the win over the Eagles in Perth in July.

Tylar Young is heading to West Coast!

The Eagles are handing over pick 38 to secure the Richmond key defender on what is understood to be a three-year deal.

Young, 27, has played 35 AFL games across three seasons at the Tigers.

Mitchell Woodcock has more here.
