Mega AFL trade state of play: Every club, player and deal as frantic final days loom​

BRISBANE LIONS

The Lions did important draft-points-relevant business on Friday, filing official trades with Richmond and then Carlton. By offloading Pick 20 to the Tigers — for picks 32, 42, 43 and 45 across the second and third rounds — Brisbane accumulated 792 points to aid its acquisitions of father-son Levi Ashcroft and academy product Sam Marshall in November. Further, the Lions sent Pick 73 and a future second-rounder to the Blues for Picks 34 and 66. Looking forward, the premier’s main query remains how it replaces Joe Daniher. Football boss Danny Daly effectively ruled out hunting a big fish this off-season as it seeks apt support for Eric Hipwood

, saying on AFL Trade Radio: “No, we haven’t gone down the path of (Membrey) as yet … Right here and now, I wouldn’t say that he would be (a consideration), no.” Delisted ex-Fremantle forward Matt Taberner could put his hand up for another AFL opportunity if he can prove his health. Elsewhere, speedy onballer Harry Sharp has reportedly requested a trade to Melbourne after just 16 senior matches in four seasons at Springfield — he is likely to yield a late pick or pick swap, helping them add more draft points.

is also set to test the trade market across these last few days of the exchange period. If he were to head to the West Coast Eagles, for example, he would likely yield a later pick this year or next. That said, he is contracted for next season and isn’t getting quite as much interest as he did 12 months ago from a different list management group at the Eagles. Unsigned utility Jaxon Prior is another who could head for the exits, with Essendon reportedly having expressed interest — but he could also walk as a delisted free agent.

Hmm that trade reduces our points by 228? There must be something brewing.

Every deal in limbo... and why some won’t get done: Club-by-club trade state of play

BRISBANE LIONS

Speedy onballer Harry Sharp departed the Lions and landed at Melbourne late on the penultimate day of trading, after just 16 senior matches in four seasons at Springfield. The Lions initially knocked back the Demons’ offer of pick 49 for Sharp, but the added exchanging of future-third round picks was enough to officially seal the deal on Tuesday night. On a draft front, the Lions have completed multiple pick swaps, filing official trades with St Kilda, Richmond and then Carlton. Most recently, Brisbane on Tuesday morning gained pick 27 from the Saints in exchange for picks 32 and 45. And by offloading Pick 20 to the Tigers last week — for picks 32, 42, 43 and 45 across the second and third rounds — Brisbane accumulated 792 points to aid its acquisitions of father-son Levi Ashcroft and academy product Sam Marshall in November. Further, the Lions sent Pick 73 and a future second-rounder to the Blues for Picks 34 and 66. Western Australian midfielder Deven Robertson is also set to test the trade market across these last 24 hours of the trade period, with Eagles chief executive Don Pyke confirming they still have every intention of acquiring him for 2025 and beyond. If he were to head to West Coast, he would likely yield a later pick this year or next. Interest in unsigned utility Jaxon Prior from Essendon reportedly has seemingly cooled, but he could also walk to Tullamarine as a delisted free agent. And looking forward, the premier’s main query remains how it replaces Joe Daniher. Football boss Danny Daly effectively ruled out hunting a big fish this off-season as it seeks apt support for Eric Hipwood

WEST COAST EAGLES

Elsewhere, Brisbane’s Deven Robertson remains a trade possibility — but after Friday, the Eagles have bigger fish to fry before Wednesday’s deadline.
