Consequences
Jy Simpkin didn’t get a trade away from North Melbourne but it’s set to cost him the captaincy at the Roos.
Declined
Tom Petroro has declined to speak about the Zach Merrett deal at this stage.
He cuts a frustrated man.
Marshall update
Rowan Marshall will stay at St Kilda.
The Saints rejected Geelong’s offer.
Merrett stays
Essendon held firm with the Hawks and Zach Merrett is going nowhere.
Essendon wanted pick 10, 22, 2026 first-round pick and 2027 first-round pick.
No deal
Callum Ah Chee won’t be traded to Adelaide.
He could still make the move via the draft but it gets complicated.
Shaking hands (Curnow a Swan)
The Swans team have shaken hands with Carlton and it looks like Charlie Curnow is now a Swan.
Carlton get a 2025 first, 2026 first and 2027 first plus Will Hayward.
Five-minute warning
We have five minutes left and any deal still being haggled over is in trouble.
Rowan Marshall
Geelong are offering pick 19 and a future second-rounder for the Saints ruck and Marshall’s manager looked happy so it could be accepted.
Oh boy
Merrett could remain a Bomber.
His manager Tom Petroro looks angry in the Hawks’ room, pointing fingers and slamming his stuff down on the table.
The Hawks staff appear like a group that have offered all they are willing to.
Essendon appear to still want four first-round picks and a second-rounder.
