A low-profile Eagles key defender could be the unlikely key to unlocking some of the biggest deals in this year’s AFL trade period, while the race to be this year’s No.1 draft pick is heating up.
A 37-game defender could be the unlikely key to unlocking some of the blockbuster deals in this year’s trade period.
Hawthorn are aiming to lure St Kilda’s unrestricted free agent Josh Battle, on top of trading for fellow tall defender Barrass, who previously came close to requesting a move to Sydney, but is contracted until the end of 2027.Battle, who has a strong relationship with Saints’ coach Ross Lyon, remains an even-money prospect to stay at St Kilda, with the club upping their original offer during the season in a clear indication they would prefer to retain him.
Baker has a big decision to make, too, after seven seasons as a Tiger, including placing sixth in the club’s best-and-fairest award last year.The former rookie-lister, a dual premiership player at Richmond, is averaging more than 20 disposals and almost a goal a match this season, as well as career-highs in clearances , contested possessions and tackles in a midfield-forward role.
Dylan Shiel played his best game for Essendon since returning in round 18 and has a year remaining on his contract.Other clubs, including St Kilda, have shown interest, in Shiel, but Brad Scott views him as an important cog in their midfield if he can remain fit. It is unclear whether “Tex” might have options elsewhere at forward-needy clubs in flag contention if he parted ways with Adelaide, or if he would retire if the Crows did not offer him a new contract., giving him 38 for the season and on track for his second-best haul behind his 56-goal All-Australian season from 2015.Richmond firmed not only for the wooden spoon but the No.1 draft pick when they fell 13 points short of North Melbourne at the weekend.
