FORMER Cat Brent Prismall is now at Essendon and Carlton finally secured Robert Warnock from Fremantle as trade week drew to a close. Prismall was granted his release from Geelong after being exchanged for the Bombers' third-round pick in the coming AFL Draft, No.39.
The Blues also got their man after five days of negotiations, involving the swap of four draft picks with the Dockers.
Under the deal, Carlton got Warnock and Fremantle's pick No.69 in exchange for Carlton's 24, 56 and 72 picks.
The two deals took to five the number of trades completed today, and six for the week.
In the first deal completed today, Collingwood sent half-back Rhyce Shaw and pick 61 to Sydney in exchange for the Swans' pick No.46.
The Magpies also acquired small forward Anthony Corrie from the Brisbane Lions, in exchange for a sixth-round pick (No.93).
The Western Bulldogs exchanged midfielder Farren Ray and pick No.48 with St Kilda in return for the Saints' pick 31.
The only trade completed before today was the movement of Port Adelaide fringe player Adam Thomson to Richmond, for the Tigers' third-round pick, No.42.
Despite the late action, the limited trading action left a handful of players unable to be swapped and contemplating either staying with their clubs or seeking a move with via the national or pre-season draft.
Sydney forward Ryan O'Keefe had wanted to move to a Victorian club but a deal could not be done, while Essendon could not ship off winger Andrew Lovett.
West Coast ruckman Mark Seaby and North Melbourne midfielder Daniel Harris also wanted moves, but they did not happen.
Prismall sought a change of club due to the limited opportunities he had at Skilled Stadium.
The midfielder could not break into Geelong's 2007 premiership side, and missed this year's grand-final loss to Hawthorn because of a serious knee injury, which will sideline him for most of 2009.
Carlton and Fremantle spent most of the week in a stalemate over Warnock, who wanted to leave the Dockers to play for the Blues.
The deal looked like not eventuating, until the Dockers finally accepted Carlton's offer of three draft picks.
After 94 games in nine seasons, Shaw, who turns 27 next week, requested a trade to rejuvenate his career.
The half-back was suspended for two games late this season after he was out on a drinking bender, with his brother Heath and teammate Alan Didak, which led to that pair being suspended for the rest of the season.
Corrie, 24, returned strongly for the Lions to play 20 games after being sidelined by a knee reconstruction in 2007.
The small forward played 53 games for the Lions in five completed seasons, for 48 goals.
Ray, 23, was initially recruited with pick No.4 in the 2003 national draft and played 75 games in five completed seasons.
But he played only 13 games in 2008 and requested to be moved on to another Melbourne-based club.
