Geelong lodges Ridley offer

Tom Morris has reported that Geelong has lodged an offer for Essendon's Jordan Ridley.

The offer is a future first, Jack Bowes, and another later future pick.

Saints to prioritise Lion over veteran Tiger

St Kilda will prioritise Brisbane’s Sam Marshall, but the Lions want a 2026 pick and not a future selection.

AFL Media’s Riley Beveridge is reporting that the Saints would prefer to use a future pick given they have no draft capital between Pick 8 and Pick 49 this year.

Three-time premiers Brisbane are seeking a pick in the mid-20s after taking Academy product Marshall at Pick 25 in the 2024 draft.

St Kilda’s pursuit of Marshall will be top of the agenda meaning the Saints won’t go after Richmond veteran Jayden Short, added Cal Twomey.

Premiership Tiger Short is keen to explore his options and the Saints were one club who showed initial interest, but it seems like they won’t continue the chase.

Collingwood remains keen on the 30-year-old who has two years to run on his deal at the Tigers.

Eagles must drive any deal for content Cat

Gryan Miers is happy at Geelong, and West Coast must drive any potential trade.

That is the messaging from Miers’ manager, Liam Pickering, who says the contracted 27-year-old is content to remain a Cat.

Miers did undergo a medical at the Eagles but that was just to keep all options open.

“He’s comfortable at Geelong, he’s happy to stay at the Cats. He doesn’t really want to move,” Pickering said on Channel 7’s Agenda Setters.

“He jetted off to Rome on Friday after the best and fairest. We’ve been in contact, just texting and seeing what’s happening.

“West Coast are going to have to drive this if they want to get Gryan to agree. They’ve done a medical, which we all know now.

“You’ve got to cover your bases in case something does happen.

“We haven’t even got to the stage where we’re talking terms with West Coast. There’s a fair way to go obviously.”

Additionally, Eagles list manager Matt Clarke suggested it was unlikely that Miers would move from the Cattery.

“I think it's unlikely that Gryan makes a move west. We're still open to it, but it's just more about where Geelong are,” Clarke told AFL Trade Radio.

“Management were great to deal with and Geelong were aware (of the medical). Gryan was heading overseas so if anything was going to move in the next week and a half, then we needed to have something like that.

“I haven't had a formal conversation with the Cats as yet on Gryan.”

Miers has a deal at Geelong for 2027.
