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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
