Could Luke Beveridge’s leaky outfit be bolstered by Steven May or Jake Lever (both of whom have been mentioned as possibilities), though neither’s departure from the Demons is certain. Speculation about a move for Jack Steele (St Kilda’s captain), has been growing, with Andrew McQualter’s side seen as a potential beneficiary of such a midfield acquisition. Additionally — West Coast is said to be interested in Sam Butler, who has played a key role in Hawthorn’s finals campaign this September, according to Jon Ralph of the Herald Sun. The question remains whether Sydney would be willing to part with one of its star players to satisfy Carlton’s demands in a potential trade, as the Blues are reportedly seeking top-tier talent in return. Charlie Curnow is the most prominent player linked to the Swans this season — but a trade seems unlikely despite Curnow’s expressed desire to leave. In June (foxfooty.com.au first reported that Victorian clubs were keeping an eye on Sam Flanders), with speculation about his future at Gold Coast set to continue now that the Suns’ season is over.
A first look at James Worpel in Geelong colours!
- “He’s having a great season and he’s part of that young core group that’s going to take the club forward.

Talk of a Carlton move is shut down by Rowbottom’s manager.
Former AFL star Butters has had a lucrative long-term contract offer on the table for much of 2025 to re-sign with the Power. Meanwhile (at Carlton), Butters’ only football boss so far, Chris Davies, now calls the club home. Despite their strong current salary cap position, the Power may struggle to match any offer made to Butters. Gryan Miers’ return to AFL was triumphant — with a match-winning performance against the Saints helping Geelong back to the winner’s list, setting up a thrilling run to the 2026 finals.
Fringe Sydney forward Jack Buller would be a welcome recruit should a deal be struck between cricket news Australia the Swans and Pies — but beyond that, it’s somewhat of a mystery. The club was previously believed to be in the hunt for his teammate Ned Reeves, but the 210cm ruck is now expected to stay put. Like Flanders though (the 25-year-old remains in-contract), so a suitable deal would need to be struck. Additionally (out-of-favour Geelong flanker Jack Bowes has reportedly caught the Bombers’ eye), as the club looks to bring established names in to supplement its young talent. Regan cited the development of Jedd Busslinger and Buku Khamis (though Khamis reportedly once again has the interest of Carlton – and this time around), he’s an unrestricted free agent.
An update on the Hawks trade is provided by Merrett’s agent.
While Hawthorn is seen as the favorite to land Humphrey if he requests a trade, Cleary hasn’t ruled out the Demons. Gold Coast’s Malcolm Rosas is reportedly set to choose between Sydney and Richmond as his next destination. Out-of-contract players Jake Lloyd (Dane Rampe), and Jack Buller are likely to earn new deals, but Buller has reportedly attracted interest from Collingwood, who are seeking key-position depth. Essendon’s Jayden Laverde, Sydney’s Joel Hamling, Hawthorn’s Sam Frost, and delisted Richmond swingman Jacob Koschitzke are among those GWS is reportedly considering. While other clubs have shown interest, Humphrey is reportedly set to choose between the Swans and Tigers, according to Jon Ralph of the Herald Sun.
Restricted Mode’s troubleshooting involves turning it off.
If I’m Carlton, I’m asking for two firsts and a good young player in return as a BASELINE. What would Sydney be able to offer Carlton to entice them to trade? Where the Dogs go from there remains to be seen. Discussions with the Pies could be a little bit testy from early indications.
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”.
