St Kilda has moved to dismiss trade speculation surrounding the club, while a Greater Western Sydney ruckman has completed a move to Richmond, heraldsun.com.au reports.
The two developments came on Friday, 2 October 2026, as the AFL's free agency and trade period continued.
According to heraldsun.com.au, the Saints shut down rumours that had been circulating about the club. The report did not specify the nature of those rumours.
The same report states that the Giants ruckman has joined the Tigers.
The trade period is drawing wide coverage across Australian football media, with several outlets publishing club-by-club guides and live trackers. Collingwood's official website is running live coverage of the 2026 AFL free agency and trade period, while The Age has published a club-by-club guide to free agency. The Australian has examined which clubs it believes must perform well during this window, and Fox Sports is maintaining a tracker of every confirmed deal by every club.
Those reports reflect the volume of movement expected before the period closes, though the confirmed deals remain limited to those announced by clubs and reported by outlets such as heraldsun.com.au.
Further confirmed deals are expected to emerge as the trade and free agency window progresses.
