We\u2019ve got an aging midfield that you guys keep telling us about consistently, and we know that too,\u201d Leppitsch told AFL Trade Radio on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to slowly develop that part of the field. We\u2019ve still got some great young talent with Ned Long and obviously Nick Daicos &#8230; at a young age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou also see things Beau McCreery going through there late in the year, so to see the excitement of options we could put through there, we do have some good young talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I guess it\u2019s providing the support around that as our veterans retire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old Oliver is contracted for another five seasons on big money \u2014 prospectively making a trade complex \u2014 but it\u2019s been reported the Dees are prepared to pay up to $700,000 of his annual salary in order to accommodate a beneficial deal. <\/p>\n<p>12.40PM &#8211; FLANDERS DEAL STRUCK<\/p>\n<p>A trade that will send Gold Coast\u2019s Sam Flanders to St Kilda has reportedly been agreed on.<\/p>\n<p>AFL Media\u2019s Callum Twomey reports Flanders will move to the Saints in exchange for Pick 7 in a deal that could happen on Tuesday, if not, Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>It would give Gold Coast picks 6, 7, 14 and 17 and help the club\u2019s bid for Christian Petracca.<\/p>\n<p>12.30PM &#8211; ROGERS ANOTHER SUN ON \u2018WATCH\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Another Sun on the move?<\/p>\n<p>Jake Rogers is another Gold Coast player to \u201cwatch\u201d this trade period. <\/p>\n<p>Seven\u2019s Xander McGuire revealed Rogers\u2019 management has been assessing potential interest from clubs in the former Pick 14 academy product, who\u2019s contracted for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>That comes after Rogers has played only 18 games across hist first two seasons including missing time in 2025 due to injury.<\/p>\n<p>11.15AM &#8211;

\u2018AWKWARD\u2019 REASON DONS HOLD THE CARDS AMID DEMANDS FOR MERRETT \u2018GODFATHER\u2019 OFFER<\/p>\n<p>The Hawks have been warned they\u2019ll need a massive offer to convince Essendon to trade captain Zach Merrett, with the \u201cmost awkward\u201d part of the saga already dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>Complicating matters as Sam Mitchell\u2019s men eye a blockbuster trade for Merrett is their interest in 2026 free agent Zak Butters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHawthorn wants to give something of quality for Zach Merrett, but they don\u2019t want to give so much that they\u2019ve got nothing left in regards to a Zak Butters deal,\u201d Jon Ralph explained on Fox Footy\u2019s Trading Day.<\/p>\n<p>But his Herald Sun colleague Glenn McFarlane explained the Bombers hold the cards in this scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Steele could be a &#8216;steal&#8217; | 03:06<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ll push it to the nth degree, Essendon &#8211; they\u2019ve got it in their mind that there\u2019s gotta be some sort of godfather offer from Hawthorn to get this done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most awkward part is over. It was incredibly awkward there, you had a best-and-fairest winner who\u2019s not sitting at the leadership table with the rest of the group, he\u2019s sitting with some mates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speech didn\u2019t go down well with a lot of people, a lot of past Essendon players were not that happy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the awkward stuff has happened &#8211; if Hawthorn do not come with a compelling, capital-C compelling offer, they\u2019ll hold firm because they know he\u2019s such a pro he&#8217;ll get back (into regular training).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIf it gets done, this\u2019ll be the last trade done\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Merrett of the Bombers high fives fans after winning the round eight AFL match between Essendon Bombers and North Melbourne Kangaroos at Marvel Stadium, on May 01, 2025, in Melbourne, Australia.

It obviously came through late last week, so we got the call from his management and thought we\u2019d definitely do the work. It\u2019s a position of need for us so on face value, it\u2019s something to look into,\u201d Pies list boss Justin Leppitsch said on Trade Radio.<\/p>\n<p>Adelaide also holds some interest after missing out on Oliver\u2019s teammate Christian Petracca.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a bit more work that has to go into that, but I think the quality of players like that, or individuals, you certainly need to do your work.
