theage.com.au [$] —

The AFL trade period opens Monday, with major moves expected including Zach Merrett's potential trade to Hawthorn, Ben King's free agency move, and Jack Viney's departure from Melbourne. Hawthorn has offered picks 15 and 25 plus a future selection for Merrett, but Essendon has rejected the bid. Gold Coast may match Hawthorn's offer for King to force a trade, while Viney is being pursued by West Coast and Essendon. Other notable developments include Lachie Neale joining Collingwood as a free agent, Zak Butters heading to the Western Bulldogs, and Toby Greene signing with Geelong. Several clubs are also targeting key defenders and ruckmen in the trade period.
