Build a tradeEssendon have traded former captain Zach Merrett to Hawthorn in exchange for picks 15, 25 and a 2028 second-round selection on the opening day of the trade period. The 31-year-old midfielder departs the Bombers after 274 games across 13 seasons, having won an equal-record seven club best and fairest awards.
Geelong are pessimistic about securing Rowan Marshall after refusing to meet St Kilda's trade demands, according to Jon Ralph. The Saints are seeking the Cats' first-round selection, pick 14, as well as a player for the contracted ruckman. However, Geelong are unwilling to part with their first-round draft pick to complete a deal.
Brisbane is considering approaching Geelong assistant coach Nathan Buckley to join the process to replace Chris Fagan, according to AFL Media. The former Collingwood coach, who began his playing career with the Brisbane Bears in 1993, recently pulled out of North Melbourne's coaching search. Lions head of football Danny Daly and assistant coach Cameron Bruce are also expected to be contenders.
Western Bulldogs list boss Michael Regan has ruled out trading All-Australian ruck Tim English and utility Rory Lobb, confirming both players will remain at the club. Regan labelled Port Adelaide midfielder Zak Butters the club's top priority as trade talks opened on Monday. Port Adelaide are weighing up whether to accept draft compensation or match the Bulldogs' free agency offer to force a trade.
West Coast have recorded their first AFLW derby victory, defeating Fremantle by 12 points at Sullivan Logistics Stadium on Sunday. The Eagles came from behind in the final quarter to win 5.9 (39) to 4.3 (27), ending an eight-game losing streak against their crosstown rivals. Ella Roberts was awarded her second derby medal after finishing with 22 disposals and a goal.
Collingwood have traded V/AFL games record holder Scott Pendlebury to Gold Coast in exchange for pick 65. The 38-year-old joins the Suns on a two-year contract, which includes a coaching component at its conclusion. Pendlebury leaves the Magpies after 21 seasons and 442 games, having won two premierships and five best and fairest awards.
St Kilda co-captain Callum Wilkie has claimed his second Trevor Barker Award after winning the club's best and fairest count on Monday night. The 30-year-old key defender polled 255 votes to edge out recruit Jack Silvagni on 250 votes and midfielder Max Hall on 241. Wilkie became the 15th player in St Kilda history to win multiple best and fairest awards, adding to his 2024 victory.
Brisbane midfielder Lachie Neale has joined Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent on a three-year contract. The Lions received Pick 39 as Band 3 compensation for the 33-year-old, who won three premierships and two Brownlow Medals across eight seasons with the club.
Essendon has withdrawn its pursuit of Melbourne veteran Jack Viney, leaving West Coast in pole position to recruit the 32-year-old midfielder. Bombers list manager Matt Rosa confirmed on Monday that the club decided to prioritise opportunities for its younger midfielders instead. Viney underwent medicals at both clubs after Demons coach Steven King encouraged him to explore his options.
Collingwood list boss Justin Leppitsch says the club does not expect Jordan De Goey to leave during the trade period, despite the midfield-forward being open to securing a long-term deal. De Goey is contracted for 2027, with the Magpies not ruling out a contract extension before round one next season. Leppitsch also confirmed the club expects defender Dan Houston to remain at Collingwood.
