Richmond, Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne are among seven clubs that loom as major movers and shakers in this year’s player movement sweepstakes.
That trio joins Hawthorn, West Coast, Adelaide and St Kilda in occupying seven of the bottom eight spots on the ladder almost one-third of the way through the season while at varying stages of their list builds.Each has big decisions to make on whether they are buyers or sellers, although some face the prospect of players choosing for them if they jump first., project as potential buyers from two of the teams above, with ex-Tigers recruiting boss Matt Clarke now in charge of West Coast’s list.
One of Zurhaar’s agents, Tom McConville, of Mac’s Sports, told the AFL’s media arm: “He’s a free agent, so he’s done his time and put himself in the position to really have a good think about what he wants to do … he’s got a fair bit to weigh up, so unclear as to where it sits at the moment.
With Tom Barrass and particularly Jeremy McGovern advanced in age, Busslinger seems a natural target for West Coast as the young gun waits to see where he fits in the Bulldogs’ plans before making a decision. Battle, managed by Alex McDonald at Hemisphere Sports Management, is the pick of that group, if you exclude Henry, but has played every game for St Kilda this season and is more likely to stay.
Sydney restricted free agent Will Hayward, from North Adelaide, looms as the obvious pivot now that Gulden stayed put for four more years, taking the All-Australian midfielder to free agency in 2028.
