Start a phantom draftWest Coast list manager Matt Clarke has confirmed the club is assessing Bobby Hill as the 2023 Norm Smith medallist seeks an AFL return. Hill parted ways with Collingwood in July, but the league's introduction of an additional Category B rookie spot for First Nations players in 2027 has created a potential pathway back to elite football.
Carlton defender Lachie Cowan is set to be handed a two-match suspension while teammate Will Hayward will escape punishment following an incident that left both hospitalised, according to reports. Hayward required stitches after hitting his head in the shower and denied any drug use, while Cowan was discharged after observation at the Alfred Hospital.
North Melbourne have traded for Sydney defender Nick Blakey. In exchange for the All-Australian, the Kangaroos parted with picks 6 and 47, a 2027 second-round selection, and 2028 first- and second-round picks. North also received pick 52 and the Swans' 2028 second-round selection in the deal.
West Coast have acquired Melbourne premiership pair Trent Rivers and Jack Viney in the final minutes of the trade period on Wednesday. Rivers has signed a five-year deal with the Eagles, according to Callum Twomey. Melbourne received pick 45 along with future draft picks in exchange for the duo and a future second-round selection.
Essendon has completed a trade for Brisbane half-back Keidean Coleman. The Bombers sent picks 21 and 27 to the Lions in exchange for Coleman and pick 25 in the final minutes of deadline day. The 26-year-old requested a move to Essendon after managing just 15 AFL games across the past three seasons.
Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps has criticised the Western Bulldogs for taking a "never-ending victory lap" following Zak Butters' free agency move. Speaking on Trade Radio on Thursday, Cripps said the Power worked behind the scenes to achieve the outcome they wanted. Port Adelaide received four first-round draft picks in a five-club trade alongside pick five as free agency compensation.
Nick Murray will stay at Adelaide after trade discussions with North Melbourne ended without a deal, according to Riley Beveridge. North Melbourne's final offer for the contracted defender included picks 33 and 49, as well as their 2027 first-round and third-round selections, according to Callum Twomey.
Jordan De Goey will remain at Collingwood next season after a potential move failed to materialise before Wednesday night's trade deadline. Magpies list manager Justin Leppitsch said no deal was struck 'unfortunately', before adding that keeping the 30-year-old is exciting for the club. Leppitsch suggested rival clubs opted against a trade because De Goey becomes an unrestricted free agent next year.
