PORT Adelaide has snared tall utility Jay Schulz from Richmond in exchange for small rebounding defender Mitch Farmer.

Schulz, originally from South Australian club Woodville-West Torrens, played 71 games and kicked 58 goals for the Tigers in seven seasons after being selected at pick No.12 in the 2002 national draft.

The 24-year-old managed just four senior games this year.

Farmer was taken by Port Adelaide at pick No.49 overall in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft.

The 20-year-old captained the Calder Cannons' 2007 TAC Cup premiership side, represented Vic Metro in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships the same year, and was named in the back pocket in the TAC Cup team of the year.

He made a promising debut for Port Adelaide late in the 2008 season, holding his spot for rounds 18 to 20, but did not manage a senior AFL appearance this year.

The 2009 AFL exchange period runs from October 5-9. No trades are official until paperwork has been accepted by the AFL and formally recognised after 2pm on Friday, October 9.
