It's not quite the heady days of seeing Trent Croad wake up form an operation to pull on a purple, red, green and white jumper while the paparazzi jostle for position but the more, generic, staid, mono-coloured Fremantle have managed to sneak a trade through in the opening few days of the trade week. Peter Faulks, best known for having a similar name to the bloke who played Columbo, had been pre-selected by the Gold Coast. They must have changed their mind at some point and agreed to trade him to Fremantle, along with pick number 61, for the Dockers' 55th draft selection.  Effectively, a set of steak knives for Faulks.

Faulks was originally on the Sydney Swans during their premiership years but didn't play a game and was delisted in 2008. Since then he has been playing in the VFL, running amok as a key defender and doing his best to impress the keen eye of Lloyd brothers looking for overlooked talent.
