CATS SWING THE AXE WITH EYE ON DRAFT AND TRADE WEEK; EXTEND CONTRACTS
Ben Jensen 29 September 2014

AFL TRADE WEEK 2014 IN THE AFTERMATH of the 'straight sets' exit from the 2014 final series, the Cats have moved to make some list changes, upgrading Mark Blicavs to the senior list and in his place on the 'category B' rookie list signing up Padraig Lucey from Ireland and the Foxtel series 'The Recruit'. Receiving contract extensions are youngsters James Toohey and Josh Cowan, Toohey a rookie yet to play a game while Cowan has three AFL games under his belt.

Departing Kardinia Park are Jesse Stringer, Jordan Schroder, George Burbury and Jackson Sheringham who all featured in AFL games this season, rookie listed and un-capped Nick Bourke also receiving his marching orders. There will likely be more changes on the playing department in coming days and weeks.

Trade Week officially starts Friday 3 October, closing Monday 13 October; shorter than in previous seasons due to the sheer lack of activity until the last 30 seconds (we exaggerate by about 5 minutes). Geelong has admitted publicly it is chasing disgruntled Melbourne backman James Frawley and rumoured to be the favoured destination by troubled Dee forward Mitch Clark. The AFL National Draft will be held on Thursday 27 November; the Cats to have picks 13, 33 and 52.
