Collingwood presented him a two -year offer, which can take him to the end of his career, but at the end of the season, an unlimited free agent and knows that it seems to be the last perennial agreement.
Elliott scored 339 goals in 217 games, if he could not reach an agreement with Collingwood, he would attract significant attention from other clubs.
Mihoceek wants the same two -year security as Elliott, and if a rival club decides it is worth it, there is a risk of finishing his career elsewhere.
Roark Roan Steele was impressive since he joined the club against Melbourne on Friday night and the club in the middle of the season, and Lachie Sullivan was a regular member of the team before he was injured against Richmond. Both players are likely to gain another agreement.
Harley remains a eagle
West Coast was locked in a major coup for the club at the beginning of a major reconstruction in Harley Reid’s No.1 Draft Choice until 2028.
The announcement comes a few days after saying that Captain Oscar Allen left the club as a limited free agent to join Eagles in Brisbane Lions.
Reid is a contract with a three -year standard agreement after the first election of the 2023 national draft, until 2026, and therefore the new agreement is an extension of two seasons.

In the bright opening season, Reid destroyed the seven brownlow games, but made a slow start in 2025 while fighting before the season and taking the time to find the form. The young Kartal had more than one club waiting to see if he would settle in Western Australia, and Hawthorn is extremely willing to the 20 -year -old child.
Reid’s decision is the approval of the new coach Andrew Mcqualter and the club’s direction.
“Since the day I came to Perth, West Coast Eagles members and supporters have supported me and our team very much, and it is very exciting with our young staff,” he said.
Orum I like to represent an incredible experience and the club at the Optus Stadium in front of our fans.
“The support of our coaches and teammates has been incredible for the last two years and I am looking forward to developing my game and helping the team to climb the ladder.
“I can’t wait for the 2026 season and beyond to see what we can achieve together.”
Reid’s decision may make Eagles more open to the trade of contracted liam Ryan, which demanded trade on Tuesday. Eagles, said in a statement, the 28 -year -old premiere of the player remained a necessary player, but Ryan and his management with a possible trade agreed to continue to discuss, he said. St Kilda is led by the race for its services because they are looking for a small forward to participate in their arrangements.
West Coast also should also be ready to trade in Brandon Starcevich’s hunting, Brandon Lions Free Agent Brandon Lions, so that they do not dilute the loss of Allen, which is expected to be selected as 2.
The first round of draft selection Campbell Cheser, after playing in the Final Four match after ankle surgery on the eve of the season, received a two -year offer in Eagles. However, the 22 -year -old attracted the attention of a Victoria club who wanted to build midfield depths.
Cheser from Albury has played 36 matches since the election number 14 in the 2021 national draft.
Clubs warned: pure draft on the upper end on the horizon
Football managers were told to prepare for changes in draft rules in 2026 last week, because AFL investigated the probability of access to the Potential Baba-son and the new generation academy elections.

Club officials argue that the system will be served by leaving a new draft value index, a new draft value index, less discount for priority access players, and the ability to trade two years in advance for a while to give changes this season alone to serve for a while to pay a fair price for the father-history elections.
Brisbane Lions, 2022 and 2024 national drafts Premiership struggle, while the father-son Will and Levi Ashcroft, as well as Jaspa Fletcher’ı added. Ashcroft brothers were rated as the top five elections in both drafts, but the lions were able to secure the pair using a collection of second and third round elections.
However, clubs such as Harry Dean (Son of Peter) and Cody Walker from the pipeline and Essendon who can secure Koby Bewick in the next two years and Essendon will learn to hope if changes are made according to the rules of father-son.
