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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
