AFTER its proposed multi-team trade was blocked by the AFL, Greater Western Sydney sought legal advice, but the club's list manager, Stephen Silvagni, says the Giants are now comfortable with the decision and have moved on.

The trade was engineered by the Giants so they would retain the rights to the No. 1 pick in next week's mini draft - expected to be Western Australia's Jaeger O'Meara.

But the AFL blocked the trade, saying it was against the spirit of its list building rules.

Silvagni said the Giants thought they had a solid case after speaking to their lawyers.

"We felt we had a trade that at least another three clubs were involved in and we thought it was a fair trade among four clubs," Silvagni told afl.com.au's Trade Week Radio.

"We were disappointed but we've accepted the ruling of the AFL and we move forward.

"Our legal advice said they felt what we had proposed was fair and equitable. The AFL got theirs and they felt their ruling was fair and equitable as well. Obviously we beg to differ but we certainly accept what the AFL has said."

On Wednesday Gold Coast secured the rights to select O'Meara when they traded pick No. 4 to the Giants as part of a more complex deal that also involved other draft picks.

Despite missing out on retaining the rights to select O'Meara, Silvagni said having the first five picks in the National Draft had the Giants in a strong position.
