Paddy Ryder has played his last game for the Bombers after formally requesting a trade. Ryder’s manager Paul Connors has told Essendon’s chief executive Xavier Campbell that the star ruckman-forward wants to find a new club in next month’s trade period. His decision to leave is based on his family’s concerns over the club’s ongoing supplements scandal. Port Adelaide and Brisbane are the clear frontrunners to secure the ruckman-forward, while Greater Western Sydney is also an option.
There has been talks that Sydney will be able to offer him a contract if Nick Malceski leaves via Free Agency and if Adam Goodes retires. If Tom Mitchell does leave the club via Trade that will free up to $500,000 in the salary cap. The Swans have delisted O'Keefe which already offers room to move in the Salaray Cap.
Sydney's
Tim Membrey has been targeted by multiple Victorian clubs according to SEN, Membrey is currently out of contract at the end of the season. Membrey (188cm 90kg) was Pick 46 in the 2012 draft and has only played 1 game for the Swans.
Fremantle's
Matt de Boer has signed a one-year contract extension to remain at the club in 2015.
West Coast have thrown their hat into the ring, to lure home WA native, and current disgruntled Magpie,
Heritier Lumumba.
Jon Ralph on SEN said that
Tom Mitchell is determined to leave Sydney for Carlton. The Blues have met with his family.
