FUTURE TRADING RULE REMINDER​

CLUBS have been reminded they are able to trade any future picks one year in advance without restrictions as huge deals hinge on final-day talks.

Under previous rules before clubs could trade two years in advance, they were only permitted to trade their first-round pick if they held their second- and third-round selections.

However, with this being the first year clubs are allowed to trade two years in advance, those requirements only have to be met for two years down the track.

The AFL has noted these rules at the end of last year to clubs and again earlier this season, but ahead of a frantic last day of the trade period, the League wrote a reminder to clubs they could dip into more selections in 2025.

"We have had several queries confirming the freedom to trade any future selections one year in advance (i.e in 2025 a club is able to trade a 2026 first round, 2026 second round and 2026 third round picks)," the memo said.

"For the sake of clarity … in relation to the relevant national draft one year in advance, a club may trade their future first, second and third round picks without restriction.

"As previously communicated, the restrictions on the ability to trade a future first-round or future second-round and future third-round picks only applies to the national draft two years in advance." – Callum Twomey

No one is keen on trading 2 years ahead lol

5:30PM - HAWKS PUT DEADLINE ON MERRETT OFFER

The Hawks are trying to push Essendon into making a call on Zach Merrett, putting a 7pm deadline on their offer lodged on Tuesday.

Hawthorn offered Pick 9, their 2026 first-round pick, a second-round pick (2025 or 2026) and either a future fourth or Henry Hustwaite in exchange for the Bombers captain.

But The Age reports the Bombers have been given until 7pm to respond, “or risk pick No.9 being taken off the table.

“In the email, sent to Essendon list manager Matt Rosa, coach Brad Scott and Bombers president Andrew Welsh, and described to this masthead by multiple sources who had read the email, Hawthorn argued their offer was fair and reasonable.”

The Hawks are willing to listen to counter-offers for the non first-round portions of the deal but will begin talks with rival clubs about Pick 9 after 7pm.

The report also stated tall forward Mitch Lewis has “not been ruled out of negotiations”.

Pies trying to offload DeGoey for pick 9? Surely Hawks not that stupid?

That Campaigner is cooked and would doubt he has another 50 games in him

 

[tiger_tough]

There were rumours DeGoey was considering early retirement

 

[Meteoric Rise]

who says will phillips seen at tigerland? backward move.

That's just Groupie_ screwing with our heads, driving us mad about Phillips.

In other words, in this instance, Gru is acting like a phillips head screw driver.

 

[richoatthedisco]

They shouldn't
Why on earth would they want a disgruntled employee to return and bank on them pushing themselves 100% in a high performance industry?

May have accepted and not allowed to announce because of trade embargo.

Hawks should move on, feels like essendon are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Pretty perplexing for the new president to be so steadfast when he'd have been afforded the grace to trade merret, then start fresh and get his tenure under way. Merret is already pretty pointy and blunt, imagine when is denied a trade and forced to lead the team through their 4th rebuild

Pig headed egos. Wouldn't know the difference between a rubbish deal and a great deal.

Imagine if the deal doesnt get done

I reckon the tails been wagging the dog far too long there and he's standing his ground.

Essendon had an amazing chance to do a rebuild on the run.

They are the kid who spat in Santa's face.

 

[ShereKhan]

Why does it need to be 3-4 years down the track, if our young players haven't been failed by their parents they can't at all be affected negatively by the arrival of Thomas and Hollands. In my opinion it would be stupid of the Richmond FC not to bring Thomas and Hollands in, if possible, because they believe our kids weren't raised right by their parents.

JUH was barely at the Dogs this year. Do you feel he was a distraction, given coaches and players were asked about him in every second interview?
