Swans' Stevens now a Crow

Sydney and Adelaide have struck a deal involving a move for Swans forward Scott Stevens and an exchange of draft picks.
Stephens will cross to Adelaide along with Sydney?s second round pick ? number 31 ? in exchange for two picks from the Crows ? numbers 29 and 45 at the National AFL Draft.
The 21 year-old forward, originally from Perth, has had a battle with injury during his time with Sydney.
But at 194cm and 85kg, he shows plenty of promise and is expected to develop quickly working with the likes of Wayne Carey, Scott Welsh and his namesake Mark Stevens in Adelaide.
Really, its Stevens for pick 45. Not sure what we gain out of that, plus we lose a tall. Might signal that Ray Hall is on his way.

Given that Stevens is going to Adelaide, this makes more sense. Good - Roos will turn him into an AA CHB by 2005!!!
Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Okay guys, I've combined a bunch of the threads on trading - can we keep most of them in here until after trading finishes please - just to keep it a bit tidier
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out.... Des' Weblog
I've just been thinking more about this trade, Stevens would have a harder time breaking into the Crows side than ours with the number of talls they have. I thought the Doggies or the Eagles might snapped him up instead.

Yeah, that sucks IMO.
Better pull a rabbit out of the hat!
"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.
im really disappointed in afl.com.au, as the headline reads "Swans' Stevens now a Crow" how much more entertaining would it have been to see "Stevens now a Crow"
Unfortunately I think that you're not allowed to just trade picks - there has to be at least one player involved. So we'd probably have to throw Warfe or Seymour in to make it work...
