SYDNEY has secured the services of West Coast ruckman Mark Seaby in a complex three-way deal completed on the first day of trade week that sees Swans premiership player Amon Buchanan and Eagle Brent Staker join Brisbane and Lion Bradd Dalziell head to the Eagles.
The Swans also traded their second-round pick (No.22 overall) to West Coast.
Seaby, who was a member of the Eagles' 2006 premiership side, managed just five appearances this season due to the presence of Dean Cox and emerging ruck talent Nic Naitanui.
The 25-year-old could become Sydney's number one ruckman with Darren Jolly keen to move back to Victoria.
Buchanan played a key role in the Swans' 2005 premiership but has struggled with form in recent seasons and played just eight games this year.
The enigmatic Staker was restricted to just six matches this season due to injury and like Buchanan he will be looking to revitalise his career at Brisbane.
Dalziell impressed in his debut season last year, averaging 26 possessions in seven appearances but he missed the majority of 2009 after suffering a knee injury in round five.
