Press releases & draft news

09/09/12
It has been confirmed by coach LaHug that Tom Rockliff will not be offered in any trades during the off season. When asked about his availability, LaHug stated "It has been a tough season for Tom in the midfield but we believe there is a role for him in our forward line for the 2013 season".

10/09/12
The Bison have completed a 3-way trade with the Trolls and the Titans that sees the Bison pick up Heath Scotland and Harry Taylor in exchange for Brent Stanton, as well as picks 10 and 28 in the draft in exchange for picks 7 and 50. The Bison would like to thank Brent for his services to the Bison but feel the move to strengthen up the backline fitted the clubs needs to be successful in the near future.

11/09/12
The Bison have given up draft picks 10 and 28 for Sam Mitchell and pick 56. We welcome Sam and are hoping he can fill the role of a premium midfielder that was vacated by Brent Stanton.

13/09/12
In the early hours of the morning, the Bison have finally agreed to terms with the Trolls to get Dayne Zorko. The young Lion should be a feature for years to come but will also make an immediate impact to (hopefully) the forward line. The Bison also welcome senior midfielder Jude Bolton to the team and hope that he has a few years of scoring left in him. However, to gain something you have to lose something in return and the Bison bid farewell to Alex Rance, Heath Grundy, and Will Hoskin-Elliot. We would like to thank Alex, Heath, and Will for their services.

After some back and forth, the Bison have also secured Paul Duffield from the Savage Sons in exchange for Nathan Jones and draft upgrades. It is sad to see Nathan leave as there is a lot of potential with him but we felt it was best for the club to pick up Paul for our defence.

23/09/12
Despite great hesitance to trade him, the need for a strong forward has forced the Bison to trade young midfielder Ben Cunnington. In exchange, the Bison get star Jack Riewoldt. Also departing in the trade were Andrew Krakouer and Eddie Betts. The Bison wish Ben, Andrew and Eddie all the best with their future endeavours.
