Marshall Hollers for Geelong

Peter Ryan

St Kilda Ruckman Rowan Marshall demanded Geelong’s trade to Geelong only hours after Saints Blues Ruckman Tom de Koning downloaded free agent Blues Ruckman Tom de Koning on the first day of Koning.

Marshall has been on the radar of cats for a while while trying to strengthen her hokka after her great final losses to Brisbane Lions.

The 29 -year -old still has two years in his contract, but his position is doubtful in his position for doing his big games to hire Koning. In the national draft, cats may be enough to secure Marshall, the sixth place of the saints this year.

Koning and Jack Silvagn joined St Kilda on Friday morning, Blues won the first 10 elections in the national draft next month because he lost Koning next month and won another one at the end of the first round for losing Silvagni.

According to AFL, the dual free agency window was opened when it was opened.

Blues, St Kilda’nın monster eight -year contract proposal limited free agent Koning did not match and the number 9 as compensation.

In a statement, Carlton List Boss Nick Austin said: “Multiple first round elections are a great position to be before the draft of November, and we will try to maximize these assets in line with our general list management strategy.”

Meanwhile, Koning said in a Saints statement that explains that he had come to the club, and said that he was “absolutely pumped” to join Ross Lyon.

“You can see how tight this game group is from outside,” he said.

“There is a real determination to get the best of himself and each other, and I want to contribute to it.

“Nasiah Wanganeen-Mler, Marcus Windhager, Mitch Owens, and a group of developing players, show what can be achieved when you are aligned and hungry for success.”

Silvagni explained his intention to join the saints last month.

Austin said the selection of compensation to lose Silvagni was welcomed. At this stage, it is equal to selecting No.19, but the clubs are expected to explode as they add higher the right to choose players in their academies or father-son elections.

Silvagni talked about the excitement of joining his new club with his statement on Friday.

“I am incredibly excited to join St Kilda and start this new section,” he said.

“The saints have a strong mixture of settled talent and exciting young players, and I feel that I can add this to my experience, versatility and competition.

“As a young father, this decision is also about building the next stage of my life with my wife Grace and our son Charlie. The opportunity to grow in both a stable and supportive environment to make this election was really important.”

He also paid tribute to Carlton.

Silvagni said, “Carlton will always be part of my part. This place has grown up, the place where my AFL career started, and my family and the history of the game are deeply dependent on our history,” he said.

“I will always be grateful for the experiences I have and support me.

Saints also made a statement on Friday, which appealed to the future of Captain Jack Steele, who said the club plans to resign from the captain in an interview. The 29 -year -old hard -to -nose midfielder has played 185 games for Saints since he switched from GWS in 2016, but now he may be looking for the third football house.

“The club called Jack today to discuss its openness to play and discover other opportunities about the future, Saint said Saints.

“Jack recommended that he wanted to stay in the club, but he is ready to consider the opportunities if he was presented to him.”

James Worpel, a limited free agent, left Hawthorn for Geelong with a four -year agreement. Hawks received a second election as compensation.

Melbourne Premiership player Charlie Spargo (North Melbourne) and GWS defender Jacob Wehr (Port Adelaide) will find new clubs as unlimited free agents.

In a consecutive premiere, Brisbane, Essendon Ruckman Sam Draper and West Coast Advanced Oscar Allen will strengthen their lists.

Collingwood Forward Brody Mihoceek Melbourne’dan interest, while Gold Coast midfielder Brayden Fiorini Essendon, Port Adelaide and Suns has an option between Suns.

The free agency period lasted until October 10th. Trade period coincides between 6-15 October.

Petracca wants a Gold Coast Sea change

Melbourne Premiership midfielder Christian Petracca wants to trade to Gold Coast Suns.

The 29 -year -old Norm Smith medal met with Gold Coast on Thursday after deciding that both the demons and Petracca had to explore their options during the trade period.

A source of competition that has information about the situation that prefers to remain anonymous, said that Petracca decided that he wanted to join the sun.

Petracca also met with Adelaide on Monday, Melbourne, late last week, wanted to release the champion midfielder, which is still four years in its contract.

Petracca was influenced by the fields offered by both clubs, but on Thursday, after being shown around the Gold Coast facilities, he decided the suns. The crows were obviously a trade between Baulked and Melbourne and Melbourne in adding an extra season to the current agreement that ended at the end of 2029. There are more options to trade even with the demons aiming to clean their contracts from their books.

The two clubs will now have to do a trade. The devils’ interest in Suns Sam Flanders and Bailey Humphrey can help them make an agreement.

Suns is also open to Flanders, not Humphrey, which is also involved in St Kilda and Essendon, but is contracted until 2028.

The new Demons coach Steven King, which emerged online on Friday, and Club Great Nathan Jones besieged Humphrey in Melbourne. Carlton and Collingwood are also connected to Humphrey.

Petracca became a champion in Melbourne after making elections at the 2014 National Draft.

Before playing his first match, he had knee -reforming, but in 2021, he became the key player during the rise of the demons to a drought flag in 2021, when he was the best place in the big finals.

The best and the most farm won two club awards and all-Avustralia four times. However, that year, after he was exposed to terrible injuries during the king’s birthday conflict, he was disappointed from the club at the end of 2024.

Petracca is considered one of the most special and professional players in the game, but the disappointment in the field had to work continuously on the devotion to the team directions, as it could be spilled from time to time.

Melbourne’s desire to trade Petracca is part of a club strategy under its new coaches in terms of going beyond the last Premiership periods, and the demons also want the contracted Premiership actors Clayton Oliver and Steven May be exchanged.
