Overview

• Geelong tabled three future first-round picks for Charlie Curnow, but Carlton’s Chris Davies said those selections would likely land in the 20s and do not reflect the forward’s value.
• Carlton reiterated it is not volunteering a trade for Curnow and will not set an asking price, signaling a hard line on keeping the contracted star.
• Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver officially chose Greater Western Sydney as his preferred destination, with trade terms still to be negotiated.
• Collingwood, previously in the Oliver conversation, has shifted attention to North Melbourne captain Jy Simpkin as it reassesses midfield options.
• West Coast sent Liam Ryan and a 2027 third-round pick to St Kilda for a 2026 second-rounder, while the Saints also reversed a planned deal for Leek Aleer, prompting a fierce reaction from the defender’s camp.
