The AFL free agency window is open and the first deal has dropped.
The first free agency paperwork has dropped, with Carlton making Joel Amartey’s move from Sydney official. He is seen as an ideal replacement for Charlie Curnow, who departed for the Swans 12 months ago.
The Swans are waiting to hear what compensation they will receive for Amartey, who is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Blues: who are the free agents, who’s out of contract or delisted and who is open to playing on elsewhere? , but ruckman Kieren Briggs is also on the move to Richmond and Jake Stringer is looking for a fourth club. Heavyweight deals involving restricted free agents Zak Butters and Ben King will dominate .
Will Port and Gold Coast match offers from the Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn, respectively, and force trades? Or will they accept the compensation on offer, which in Port’s case is pick five for Butters? Monday is when the actual trade period starts, with all the clubs gathering at Marvel Stadium for negotiations that in some cases will keep bubbling along until deadline day, which is Wednesday, October 14.
