Dwell: 'We are going to put it to mattress': Geelong emphatically shuts down discuss of buying and selling for Clayton Oliver regardless of assembly

Western Bulldogs checklist boss Sam Energy has confirmed himself to be a tricky negotiator through the years, and this yr might be no totally different.

When requested concerning the scenario with Bailey Smith, who needs to go to Geelong, Energy says the Canine “anticipate loads” in change for him.

On Jack Macrae, Energy says “it must be an appropriate deal for us”.

It does not appear like we’ll see Dustin Martin operating round within the Gold Coast subsequent yr.

“I believe Dustin’s personal phrases have been that he was fortunately retired,” Suns checklist boss Craig Cameron instructed Commerce Radio.

“I don’t suppose it’s for our footy membership so as to add to that narrative, in order that’s the place it sits.”

Hello Rato,

Luke Parker has requested a commerce to North Melbourne, however Sydney’s checklist boss Chris Keane mentioned earlier that the deal is “not as simple as folks suppose”.

Hello Luca!

At this stage it definitely seems that Collingwood is the frontrunner for Dan Houston.

Given Port is eager on bringing throughout Joe Richards from the Pies, it will not be a shock if the 2 golf equipment mix the pair in the identical deal.

Carlton’s hardline stance on wanting to remain on this yr’s draft most likely makes it arduous for them to appease Port in a commerce.

St Kilda checklist boss David Misson on precisely what the Saints’ plans are throughout this commerce interval.

This is Port’s GM of soccer, Chris Davies, on the chase for Dan Houston.

“As we have now mentioned for the previous couple of days we’re open to do a deal on Dan nevertheless it must be proper for the membership. Dan understands the membership that wins his providers has to fulfill us,” he says.

 It appears to be like like North Melbourne is lastly able to do some successful subsequent season.

North is predicted to herald each Luke Parker and Jack Darling, and has additionally been linked to each Dan Houston and Caleb Daniel.

This is the Kangaroos checklist boss Brady Rawlings on the membership’s plans through the commerce interval.

Hawthorn’s tagger-in-chief, Finn Maginness, was briefly linked to Essendon final week, nevertheless it appears to be like like he’ll now keep put.

Hello Sainter, thanks for checking in!

No motion on any deal for Jack Macrae so removed from what I can see.

I would not be frightened about that deal getting completed although. It looks like it’s in each Macrae and the Bulldogs’ greatest pursuits to half methods, given his lack of taking part in time this yr.

Hello Mike, thanks for following alongside!

I can not see the AFL banning golf equipment from buying and selling first-rounders as a result of in any other case we might don’t have any star gamers shifting golf equipment.

Whether or not the AFL likes to confess it or not, the fanfare round participant motion is very large when it comes to preserving the AFL entrance of thoughts even when there is no video games taking place.

That being mentioned, they do must discover a method to cease the draft from being compromised.

Hello Legal guidelines,

That is par for the course for the commerce interval I believe. Each membership is available in overvaluing their very own gamers whereas lowballing rivals.

The primary week of the commerce interval is all about posturing, earlier than golf equipment really get critical.

Ultimately they discover some type of center floor on offers, and I think Collingwood and Gold Coast will do that relating to John Noble.

Hey DB, aka ABC Sport’s very personal Dean Bilton!

Simply making an attempt to fill some large boots right here in your absence is all.

As for Rotham, no remark.

Melbourne has come out fairly strongly on Clayton Oliver and is preserving per its message.

“Clayton might be on the membership subsequent yr 100 per cent. He has by no means been provided for commerce,” checklist supervisor Tim Lamb says.

“If a participant has a gathering (with a rival membership) it doesn’t suggest they need to depart. He’s glad to be with us subsequent yr.”

Lamb additionally says the Demons is not going to be buying and selling Kysaiah Pickett regardless of rumours he could also be wanting elsewhere.

Kane Cornes but to be satisfied by the Demons’ stance on Oliver it appears.

Hello Simon, thanks for checking in!

John Noble is a tricky one to get a correct gauge on, purely due to the place he performs.

I would say he is most likely value a late second or an early third-round decide, given he is not precisely a lock in Collingwood’s aspect each week.

He is a really serviceable participant, however I definitely would not be promoting the farm to get him into my membership.

And to reply your second query, sure he’s contracted by the 2026 season with the Pies at the moment.

Hello LW,

The Eagles definitely have a variety of balls within the air, however my guess could be that they’re fairly eager to go to the draft.

It is a checklist that also has many holes to plug, and also you’d need as many bites of the apple as doable in a robust draft like this yr’s.

I do not anticipate Chad Warner to maneuver this yr, however that may be one for 12 months’ time.

Shai Bolton could be an amazing acquisition, however would require them giving up their draft place, so I would say it is unlikely at this stage, however by no means say by no means.

West Coast will most likely be a buy-low goal like Brisbane’s Deven Robertson, who’s a WA native.

Geelong checklist boss Andrew Mackie fairly sturdy right here on the hopes of bringing Clayton Oliver into the membership.

“Clayton’s supervisor was conscious it may be in his greatest pursuits to have a chat nevertheless it was fairly temporary,” he tells the Commerce Trade.

“So far as we’re involved it was fleeting. We’re respectable of Melbourne and their stance. We are going to put it to mattress.”

This is precisely what Mackie mentioned this morning.

Adelaide checklist boss Justin Reid on what the Crows have cooking within the commerce interval.

The Crows are anticipated to formally land Melbourne’s Alex Neal-Bullen later at present.

Richmond star Shai Bolton needs to get to WA, however it’s unclear which of the state’s two groups it is going to be at this stage.

Whether it is to be Fremantle, it appears to be like like that may be a deal that goes all the way down to the wire.

Freo checklist boss David Partitions does not sound too optimistic at this stage.

“Nonetheless early days with Shai, we might like to carry him in however we have to sit down with Richmond. There’s nonetheless a bit of labor to do,” he tells Commerce Trade.

“We are going to go in with an open thoughts, however there may very well be a degree the place we are saying it is an excessive amount of.”

Partitions provides that the Dockers are assured in re-signing Andrew Brayshaw.

Brisbane’s premiership celebrations have been considerably rocked by the retirement of Joe Daniher.

Lions checklist boss Dom Ambrogio says the membership will “look to get some cowl in some kind” for Daniher, however tells followers to not anticipate a giant identify.

Brisbane can be open to granting Deven Robertson a transfer away from the membership, given the younger midfielder needs extra alternatives.

 One of many large commerce dominos at Essendon might be Jake Stringer, who has a contract for subsequent yr on the Bombers, however needs out.

This is Essendon checklist boss Adrian Dod — sorry, I imply Matt Rosa — on what the Dons might be as much as within the commerce interval.

Rosa says the Bombers’ “most important focus” through the commerce interval is to enhance its draft hand.

The Bombers at the moment have picks 9 and 31 on this yr’s draft, and still have entry to their academy prospect Isaac Kako, who’s rated as the very best small ahead within the draft.
