Has a club ever matched a Restricted Free Agency bid? I can't recall any (but it's not something I follow, either).

gw$ and crom either matched or said that they would match for cameron and dangerfield, both who wanted to go to the cats, and forced trades

    That seems like a risky strategy by the clubs. If the trade isn't agreed, they're stuck with a player who doesn't want to be there (albeit in these two examples, two very good players). Nevertheless, it obviously worked out in these instances.

    At least we don't have to worry about much this year in terms of securing futures.

    Jumping the gun a bit, but with likely a bit of cash off the books after season 24

    Tmac, BBB & Brayshaw it will be interesting what the club does.

    Load up in Petty? Or target who?

    Not a free agent yet, but scratch Ben King off the list of targets for a few more years. Just signed an extension til end of 2026. Will be a free agent then.

    Ollie Florant, Will Hayward and Tim English would be my 3 targets.

    The feeling right at the moment is that both Florent & Hayward are more likely to leave than stay. Remarkably, the Blues are heavily into both.

    Early days but any word or feeling that we will be active in the FA/trade space?

    Dees now with $$$ available after Brayshaw medical retirement?  I’m still liking Florent as a free agent to come home to Melbourne.  See his pace and skill being into our midfield mix.

    Well worth signing the Texan.

    The Sydney Swans main priorities are 1. Errol Gulden and 2. Logan McDonald. It is great to see you back @goodwindees. Would love hear from you more often.

    Thanks for the intel @goodwindees - it isn’t the most exciting free agency class but these are two players who would instantly improve us and be walk up starting 22. I hope the club is putting in some work if they’re not after a bigger target.

    Thanks Storm Boy. You’re correct, Gulden is in for a very significant increase and WA clubs are coming hard for Logan. I try to pass on innocent little snippets here and there, would love to pass on more, but must be mindful.

    TMac

    BBB

    Brayshaw 

    Smith

    Melksham (potentially)

    Last year of contract

    Hunter (30 this season)

    Tomlinson (31 this season)

    Laurie (22 this season, can he break into the side?)

    There’s a lot of money right there, I’d be offering Petty (signed until end 2025) a new contract and definitely making a play for JUH.

    On a side note, I think JUH will be on the move, hopefully to us, where does that leave the Dogs. Can’t wait for the 19th and 20th team to come in.

    Swans will go incredibly hard for JUH as well, will probably trump our offer, they’ve already thrown the kitchen sink at Larkey and Naughton

    It's not even round 1 and we have some articles highlighting rival club interest in players and potential FA moves.

    While not everyone's cup of tea, particularly when the seasons barely begun, I'll always be interested in the player movement space and the possibilities out there to improve our list.

    This article can kick us off, with alleged strong interest in swans RFA Will Hayward from "multiple clubs" and the Hawks supposedly entering the race for JUH.

    12 % increase in the cap next season.

    Brayshaw retired, BBB & TMac most likely to retire, Schache and Smith out of contract, Melksham could potentially go around again. The big one is what are Petty’s plans? I think JUH will explode this year, I can see clubs (Sydney) offering him a long term deal at 1.2 million per season. Even if Petty stays I’d still be throwing massive coin at JUH.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
