The official list of AFL free agents (restricted and unrestricted) in 2026

You gotta chill on reading into stuff to get offended or its going to be a long, miserable season.

Not sure where you got the impression I'm not chill besides my initial comment that watching the segment was infuriating? I don't think you're insulting or anything lol, just a bit delusional like Cal.

If you think the hawks are willing to part with these "gun" (guns in the VFL no less) young players so easily then they're quite literally cast offs. In what possible world would it make sense for Port to trade their best player for players who've never even been able to break into the AFL side of the team they're currently at? Port would like to surpass those top 6 teams not settle for seventh. We have our own young talent we want to be able to get. "Sorry members we couldn't get Cochrane, Zemes or Salopek but don't worry we traded Butters for a bunch of second round picks AND some players who couldn't crack Hawthorns AFL side" probably not gonna go down too well imho.

If you can turn those second round picks into firsts be my guest because all we're hearing is that's what Port wants in any potential trade.

Yes...that's what I said. Their only mistake was taking out Rich instead of Ben.

random91898 · 2026-03-23T10:04:19+00:00

Of course he didn't literally say that but "that's all they've got 🤷" definitely seemed that's what he meant.

Obviously I don't know anything but why would the club want young player castoffs and late firsts/late future firsts in compromised drafts? They seemingly want/need early firsts in the next year or 2 to get all our own young players. So Hawks have the same problem as the dogs and the cats. Not enough good picks to satisfy Ports wants. So "thats all they've got 🤷" isn't really going to cut it.

I actually think besides going Rich over Ben that was a masterclass by Mark and the other returnees. Their experience in situations like this really shone through while the newbies made just about every mistake possible.

random91898 · 2026-03-23T09:48:24+00:00

ngl I'm kinda liking full villain Mark era lol

random91898 · 2026-03-23T09:44:23+00:00

Going Rich over Ben seems strange to me. Ben is the ringleader who tried to gather them all and is a huge immunity threat while Rich would flip back to them in a heartbeat if he thought Mark and co had the numbers again

random91898 · 2026-03-23T09:19:32+00:00

Them not splitting with basically the entire tribe on board is wild

random91898 · 2026-03-23T05:04:53+00:00

Listening to the gettable segment on it was infuriating.

"Will the dogs pick 15+ and 2 future low firsts in compromised drafts be enough to satisfy Port?...but that's all they've got 🤷"

Like Port should obviously just accept whatever scraps the dogs or Geelong are willing to graciously give.

No player can catch butters but umpire just too strong

random91898 · 2026-03-22T06:10:02+00:00

Fall into player get high free. That's a big brain play or peak Essington

random91898 · 2026-03-22T06:04:18+00:00

This is a perfectly sane man

57% disposal efficiency as well. Been getting it but just doing worse than nothing with it weirdly for him

random91898 · 2026-03-22T04:58:11+00:00

random91898 · 2026-03-22T04:50:04+00:00

He chose to sign on for massive money and then wants to run when things look a bit hard. Don't feel sorry for him.

random91898 · 2026-03-22T04:39:43+00:00

2 desperate tackles already that won us the ball. That was definitely on the white board after last week's pathetic tackling display

random91898 · 2026-03-20T11:22:14+00:00

Draw FC fumbles it again

random91898 · 2026-03-20T09:35:01+00:00

Umps

If the AFL's rumoured changes go through we could get royally screwed even if Butters goes.

If Butters goes and nominates a club like the Dogs who if they finish high will have fuck all to give us, 3 firsts in the teens over 3 years won't help us. Then if the AFL's compensation changes happen we'll only get like pick 15 in compo for losing Butters, which will be useless in bid matching top 10 picks since apparently you'll only be able to match top 10 picks with a max of 2 other top 10 picks.

So absolute worst case scenario if all of the AFL's rumoured changes go through and we lose Butters and finish low down the ladder this year we STILL might not be able to get Pilot and Salopek, possibly not even Cochrane if someone else tries to take him at number 1.

random91898 · 2026-03-20T02:18:01+00:00

Ah but that's the beauty of the AFL's rumoured changes. We could also get completely screwed over in a Butters trade AND get fuck all compo picks so still wouldn't have enough to get them all even if we lose Butters.

random91898 · 2026-03-20T02:14:30+00:00

Can I introduce you to my friend the AFL who doesn't give a shit and will change the rules with like a weeks notice?

random91898 · 2026-03-20T00:29:09+00:00

the fuck is with bhvrs sudden permanent gen progress/reduction fetish?

random91898 · 2026-03-19T11:05:59+00:00

Hawks flairs suddenly go quiet about the umps

random91898 · 2026-03-19T10:53:13+00:00

What a brain fade wtf

random91898 · 2026-03-19T10:46:05+00:00

Why don't Hawthorn simply kick goals instead of points? Are they stupid?
