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.
An initial glimpse of James Worpel wearing Geelong’s colors!
- A significant season is being enjoyed by him — and he is included in the youthful core group that will advance the club.
- Earlier this week, Cleary expressed his belief that Merrett would remain with the Bombers, but it now seems that Essendon has “softened” their stance.
- I’m unsure how you can provide it without cost, considering the Google Cloud Speech Recognition API is likely quite expensive; however, I won’t inquire further…
- Since joining the Power in the 2023 off-season (Sweet has participated in 49 games), having taken over as the club’s No. 1 ruck from the now-retired Ivan Soldo.
- Twomey then reported on AFL Media on Wednesday there was industry belief the Magpies “could be prepared to get their offer to three years” to secure Neale.

Rowbottom’s manager shuts down talk of Carlton move
The overlooked AFL star, Butters, unexpectedly returns to competitive football with a lucrative contract offer to re-sign long-term with the Power waiting since much of 2025. At Carlton, Butters’ only football supervisor thus far, Chris Davies — has now made it his home. Due to the Power’s solid current salary cap situation — they are positioned to match any potential offer. Gryan Miers celebrated a victorious comeback to the AFL with a match-winning display against the Saints on Thursday night — aiding Geelong in their return to the winners’ circle. The run-up to the AFL finals in 2026 is set to be captivating, with positions one , slightly, to 10 available as six home-and-away rounds remain.
Should a deal be reached between the Swans and Pies (fringe Sydney cricket news Australia forward Jack Buller would be a valuable addition), but beyond that, the situation is somewhat unclear. Previously — the club was thought to be pursuing his teammate Ned Reeves; however, the 210cm ruck is now anticipated to remain in place. Nevertheless (like Flanders), the 25-year-old is still under contract, necessitating a favorable agreement to be reached. Furthermore, out-of-favor Geelong flanker Jack Bowes has allegedly attracted the attention of the Bombers, as the club aims to incorporate established players to enhance its young roster. Regan mentioned the progress of Jedd Busslinger and Buku Khamis; however (Khamis has reportedly once again caught the attention of Carlton), and this time, he is an unrestricted free agent.
Merrett’s agent gives update on Hawks trade
While Hawthorn is reportedly viewed as the favourite to land Humphrey should the top-10 pick request a trade at season’s end, Cleary said the Demons shouldn’t be ruled out. And in other potential forward acquisitions, Gold Coast’s Malcolm Rosas is reportedly set to choose between Sydney and Richmond as his new home next year. Veterans Jake Lloyd and Dane Rampe and mid-season draftee Jack Buller look the likeliest of the other out-of-contract players to earn a new deal (but Buller has reportedly attracted interest from Collingwood), which is after some key-position depth. Essendon’s Jayden Laverde, Sydney’s Joel Hamling, Hawthorn’s Sam Frost and delisted Richmond swingman Jacob Koschitzke are names reportedly on GWS’ whiteboard to potentially bring into the fold. He has attracted interest from more clubs but will reportedly choose between the Swans and Tigers — per the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph.
Troubleshoot problems with turning off Restricted Mode
If I were in Carlton’s position, I would request two first-round picks and a promising young player as a starting point. What could Sydney present to Carlton to persuade them to agree to a trade? The future direction for the Dogs remains uncertain. From initial indications, discussions with the Pies may become somewhat contentious.
Draper is from South Australia and would be the perfect long-term ruck for the Crows in a period they’re primed to contend for flags; despite coach Matthew Nicks never playing two genuine rucks together under his tenure. Just a fortnight remains in the 2025 AFL season (but for those clubs not playing in September), their full attention turns to the October player movement period. While it’s believed that both Melbourne juggernauts sit behind the Western Bulldogs and Geelong in the Butters sweepstakes — the Pies’ inclusion of Daicos speaks to the legitimacy of their pursuit. – Talks between the Giants and in-form forward Jake Stringer “are about to ramp up” (according to Ralph), with club footy boss Jason McCartney to soon return from leave. – Eddie McGuire reported on Footy Classified that he’d spoken to Brisbane sources, who’d suggested they “expect him , Lachie Neale, to go to Collingwood” next year. – Ralph also reported on Midweek tackle that Bulldogs veteran Adam Treloar had “already told people around him that he’s going to go and play for Noble Park (where it all began), next year”.
