GOALSNEAK Adam Schneider and defender Sean Dempster, members of Sydney's 2005 premiership team, are likely to be traded to St Kilda as the Swans continue their aggressive post-season dealing.

While Schneider was in Bali last night and is yet to agree to the trade, an agreement in principle has been reached between the clubs that would see Schneider and Dempster join former Swans assistant coach Ross Lyon at Moorabbin in return for the Saints' second-round draft pick (No.26 overall).

Schneider, 23, a favourite with Swans fans since his dynamic debut season in 2003, when he played all 24 games, has been a talented but sometimes erratic contributor for the Swans in recent seasons, mixing some brilliant performances with occasional spells in the reserves.

Dempster, 23, whose form has tailed off since 2005, is a victim of the club's decision to recruit Adelaide defender Martin Mattner in exchange for a second-round draft pick. Having fallen behind Tadhg Kennelly, Nick Malceski and Mattner among the Swans' rebounding half-backs, he is likely to be given a chance to regenerate his career with the Saints.

The trade means the Swans have swapped Schneider and Dempster for Mattner, while improving their second-round draft pick from No.28 to No.26.

■ Carlton and West Coast have agreed to trade former Eagle Chris Judd for Blues key-position player Josh Kennedy and draft picks No.3 and No.20. Kennedy met Eagles officials yesterday and will decide today whether to accept their offer before the deal is finalised.
