Confirmed Trades, FS, FA, delistings etc for all AFL Clubs 2015

Looks like the Sinclair to the Swans and Jetta to West Coast could go through today.
Media tarts will say WCE win that. Not me, Jetta goes missing in big games and Sydney need a quality young ruck. Sydney win this. They're very good at this time of year.

Has this scenario ever really happened to such a bad extent?
Guys like Angwin and most recently Garlett were simply sacked. Not saying it couldn't happen, but highly unlikely to be honest.
In hard time sponsors look for reason to dissolve their commitment. The risks are around alienating other players or testing the patience of sponsors. You only need to look at the distraction Akermanis was to the playing group in his last year to understand there are a number of risks not just a draft pick or two.

Nothing that mature individuals can't deal with though.
You say the Akermanis fiasco was a distraction, but we still made top four, a preliminary final and just weren't good enough to go one step further.
Fremantle are well equipped to handle any less than ideal scenarios.

There was another guy at Carlton who bit the dust around Angwin. he may not have been up to it anyway (and I can't recall his name at the moment), but he was definitely infected with Angwin's problems.

Don't think it is that black and white.
While you don't value Jetta, he has performed in at least one big game as he was superb in the 2012 GF. I concede that he has been poor since.
West Coast are obviously looking for some pace and Jetta certainly has that. If he recaptured 2012 he would be a terrific addition for them.
I like Sinclair but he has NicNat in his path for commanding the ruck spot. West Coast also have a very good back up in Lycett.
So West Coast trade out where they have surplus personnel and trade in to meet a deficiency. That sounds like good business for both sides as Sydney need what Sinclair can bring.

Interesting Jetta going to West Coast. During this season he criticised West Coast supporters for booing Adam Goodes.
Akermanis was regarded as a dickhead until he arrived at the club and won people over. The problem for him was he eventually confirmed supporters original thoughts. Jetta can win them over

I think his pace on subi will be magnificent and he will be a much better player.
