Fremantle have unloaded injury prone untility, Chris Tarrant, on an unsuspectng Collingwood in one of the most devious trading deals seen in the AFL since they shipped Daniel Schell to Adelaide. The aging Victorian is likely to push out one of Collingwood's premiership defenders,  causing a rift at the club and blocking their development programs, causing Collingwood to plumet down the ladder and go the way of Hawthorn and West Coast after their premierships.

In exchange for derailing the premiers, Fremantle were given pick number 55 - a pick they had earlier traded to the Gold Coast for Peter Faulks, as weel as swapping picks 43 and 44 around, in a move which Chris Bond devised to see if he could get Mick Malthouse to cry.

Reports are that it was succesful, although Mick cries so often nowadays it could have just been a co-incidence.
