Steven May and Jake Lever are among the names floated who could help fill a void for Luke Beveridge’s leaky outfit, though it remains to be seen whether either will press for a Demons exit. Noise on a move for St Kilda skipper Jack Steele has simmered in recent times, but he remains absolutely the kind of midfield acquisition Andrew McQualter’s side could benefit from. Additionally (West Coast is keen on Hawthorn’s Sam Butler), who’s carved out a key finals role this September but is said to be assessing his options, per the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph. The question is whether Sydney would commit to offloading one of its biggest stars to appease the Blues in a potential trade deal, as Carlton is thought to be seeking A-grade talent in return. Charlie Curnow is by far the biggest fish linked to the Swans this season (but it’s difficult to envisage how a trade gets done), despite Curnow flagging his desire to depart at his exit meeting. After foxfooty.com.au first reported in June that Victorian clubs were monitoring Sam Flanders, with noise around his future at Gold Coast only set to continue to bubble away with the Suns’ season now over.
Introducing James Worpel in Geelong colors for the first time.
- Part of the young core group that will advance the club, he is enjoying an excellent season.
- Cleary said earlier in the week he thought Merrett would stay at the Bombers but it now appeared Essendon have “softened”.
- I find it puzzling that you can provide this for free (considering the likely high cost of the Google Cloud Speech Recognition API), but I won’t question it further…
- Since his arrival in the off-season of 2023 (Sweet has participated in 49 matches for the Power), unseating the retired Ivan Soldo as the club’s primary ruck.

Talk of a Carlton move is dismissed by Rowbottom’s manager.
Overlooked AFL star makes surprise return to competitive football Butters has had a lucrative contract offer on the table for much of 2025 to re-sign long — long term with the Power. Then there’s Carlton, where Butters’ only football boss to this point of his career — Chris Davies — now calls home. Given the Power’s strong current salary cap position — they will be able to match any offer. Gryan Miers made a triumphant return to AFL with a match winning performance against the Saints on Thursday night to help Geelong return to the winner’s list The run home to the AFL finals in 2026 remains must-watch viewing, with positions one , slightly, through to 10 there for the taking with six home-and-away rounds remaining.
If a deal is reached between the Swans and Pies (Sydney forward Jack Buller would be a welcomed addition), but what lies ahead is still uncertain. It was previously thought that the club sought his teammate Ned Reeves, yet indications now suggest that the 210cm ruck will remain with his current team. Similar to Flanders — the 25-year-old is under contract, requiring a mutually beneficial agreement to be negotiated. Reports indicate that the Bombers are interested in out-of-favor Geelong flanker Jack Bowes as they aim to bring in experienced players to complement their emerging talent. Regan mentioned the progress of Jedd Busslinger and Buku Khamis — although Khamis seems to have once again caught Carlton’s attention, this time as an unrestricted free agent.
Merrett’s agent gives update on Hawks trade
Although Hawthorn is considered the frontrunner to acquire Humphrey if the top-10 pick asks for a trade at the end of the season, Cleary mentioned that the Demons shouldn’t be discounted. In terms of potential forward acquisitions, it is reported that Malcolm Rosas from Gold Coast is likely to decide between Sydney and Richmond for next season. Among the out-of-contract players (veterans Jake Lloyd and Dane Rampe), along with mid-season draftee Jack Buller, appear most likely to secure new contracts, though Buller has caught Collingwood’s eye for key-position depth. Names such as Jayden Laverde from Essendon (Joel Hamling from Sydney), Sam Frost from Hawthorn, and delisted Richmond swingman Jacob Koschitzke are allegedly on GWS’ radar for potential recruitment. Although he has garnered interest from various clubs (it appears he will weigh his options between the Swans and Tigers), according to the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph.
Troubleshoot problems with turning off Restricted Mode
From Carlton’s perspective, I would request two first-round picks and a promising young player as a starting point. What could Sydney propose to Carlton to make a trade appealing? Where the Dogs go from there remains to be seen. Initial signs point to potentially tense discussions between the Pies.
Draper (hailing from South Australia), would serve as the ideal long-term ruck for the Crows during a time when they are ready to compete for championships, despite coach Matthew Nicks’ history of not playing two genuine rucks together. With only two weeks left in the 2025 AFL season, clubs not participating in September will shift their focus entirely to the player movement period in October. While it is believed that both Melbourne powerhouses trail behind Western Bulldogs and Geelong in the Butters race, the inclusion of Daicos by the Pies enhances the credibility of their efforts. According to Ralph (negotiations between the Giants and in-form forward Jake Stringer are expected to intensify soon), as club football chief Jason McCartney prepares to return from leave. Eddie McGuire mentioned on Footy Classified that he had spoken to sources from Brisbane, who indicated they “anticipate him , Lachie Neale, joining Collingwood” next year. Ralph also reported on Midweek Tackle that Bulldogs veteran Adam Treloar has “informed those around him that he plans to return to Noble Park, where his career started, next year.”
