Harrison Coe’s future will hinge on the Pies’ pursuit of Flynn Riley. Coe is expected to be delisted if Riley joins Collingwood.

If Geelong can get Jordan Ridley's body right, he can free up Tom Stewart and fill his void down the track.
It's a big if, but the Cats were able to turn Jack Martin's injury fortunes around. A punt with huge upside.

The brother of young Demon Jacob Van Rooyen lost no fans despite running last in the 2km time trial at the combine.

Mason McGroder expects to choose footy over long-jump, but is yet to make a final decision as he awaits offers from eager US colleges.

“It was hard to ignore, to be honest!"
Noah Mraz starred in the VFL grand final despite the distraction of a bumper offer from Essendon in the lead-up. But his main goal is to cement his spot in the Hawthorn defence in 2027: bit.ly/47dUyS0 @superfooty
"Joe Pike doesn’t develop and progress like he does this year without Rhys."
Rhys Stanley went the extra mile behind the scenes in his final year. Selfless until the end, and proved his doubters wrong with his longevity.

The pieces of the puzzle are finally falling into place for Jamieson Ballantyne, five years after his draft disappointment. Three clubs showing interest after 38 VFL goals in 2026.

Bloody love this from the @VFL.

👏👏👏

Rhys Stanley sustained a torn pec on Sunday and is unlikely to face Box Hill in the VFL grand final.
Has undergone scans today to determine the severity, but appears to have played his last game in Cats colours.

"The beauty of having Jack here, I learnt from him that progress isn’t linear."
Ollie Henry didn't have to look far for inspiration when he fell out of favour at the business end of last season.

Collingwood and Adelaide are among several interested clubs considering Tasmanian talent Brandon Leary ahead of the draft.
Was a 2022 draft chance and a train-on with Hawthorn ahead of 2023. He feels he is much better prepared now.

Lawson Humphries and Tom Higgins grew up together in the Pilbara.
Now the two close mates are helping each other chase their footy dreams and create a sense of community 3,200km away in Geelong.
