Damian Barrett and Joe Pignataro bring you the latest footy news on AFL Daily.

A fascinating final day of the 2025 Trade Period with Hawthorn not able to facilitate a trade deal with Essendon for their captain Zach Merrett.

Charlie Curnow is the next rockstar forward of the Swans after they put forward three first round picks to take the 2x Coleman Medallist off the Blues. 

A handful of deals that didn't get done include Callum Ah Chee to Brisbane, he will walk to Adelaide through the pre-season draft plus the Gold Coast SUNS are in a strong position after securing Christian Petracca.
