Battle, Cumming, Perryman, Haynes, Himmelberg and Campbell all might happen today. Graham might take a few more days.

Only Battle, Cumming, Perryman and Graham are likely to have a significant impact on draft capital, and therefore trade period.

Really curious about Battle whether it's first round of end of first round. Pick 8 for the Saints would be huge and IMO is exactly what they need.

    The Herald Sun has an interesting article listing the main candidates and the projected compensation. 

    Two players of interest from Melbourne’s perspective:-

    Adam Tomlinson Landing: TBC

    Tomlinson couldn’t find a home inside Melbourne’s best 22 this year despite the team’s struggles, and is expected to leave the club for greener pastures. He’s an unrestricted free agent and can freely move to a third club, but he hasn’t nominated a team yet. St Kilda and Collingwood are both expected to be in the frame for the utility.

    Projected compensation: Nil

    Tom Campbell Landing: Melbourne 

    Campbell is poised to continue his AFL career into a 13th year — despite never playing more than nine matches in a season. After serving as Rowan Marshall’s back-up at St Kilda since 2022, Campbell has been linked with Melbourne, where he would become Max Gawn’s understudy. The 32-year-old would offer valuable back-up for the Demons’ skipper after they were caught short this year when Gawn was injured, forced to use an undersized Harrison Petty in the middle. The club had high hopes for former Lion Tom Fullarton, but appears to have moved passed him. He would join as a delisted free agent after being cut by the Saints in August. 

    Projected compensation: Nil

    The rest:-

    Josh Battle Landing: Hawthorn

    Projected compensation: Mid 1st round pick – No. 8

    Harry Perryman Landing: Collingwood

    Projected compensation: Mid 1st round pick – No. 15

    Isaac Cumming  Landing: Adelaide

    Projected compensation: Mid 2nd round pick – No. 35

    Jack Graham  Landing: West Coast

    Projected compensation: End of 2nd round pick – No. 39

    Elliott Himmelberg Landing: Gold Coast
    Projected compensation: 3rd round pick – No. 43

    Tim Membrey Landing: TBC

    Projected compensation: 3rd round pick – No. 46

    Nick Haynes Landing: Carlton

    Projected compensation: Nil

    Jack Martin Landing: Geelong

    Projected compensation: Nil (delisted free agent)

    If Josh Battle is worth pick 8...

    No, nope, there's no viable end to that sentence.

    Secret formula strikes again.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
