Overview

• The AFL confirmed Jack Silvagni’s move to St Kilda as an unrestricted free agent after paperwork was lodged, with Carlton to receive an end‑of‑first‑round compensation pick.
• St Kilda filed an eight‑year offer for restricted free agent Tom De Koning and Carlton is expected not to match, which would deliver the Blues a first‑round compensation pick.
• Geelong lodged restricted free‑agency paperwork for Hawthorn midfielder James Worpel on a reported four‑year deal, giving the Hawks three days to decide whether to match.
• Port Adelaide lodged for GWS’s Jacob Wehr as an unrestricted free agent, formalising his expected move after the club signalled its intent in September.
• The free‑agency window runs through October 10 with the trade period overlapping from October 6–15, as additional moves progress including North Melbourne’s paperwork for Charlie Spargo and Brisbane’s pursuit of Sam Draper and Oscar Allen.
