The AFL's trade and free agency period might be delayed, according to SEN's Sam Edmund.
Ongoing negotiations between the AFL and the AFL Players' Association are threatening the reported dates announced last month. The negotiations concern list sizes and the salary cap for next season.
This year's free agency period was originally slated to take place from October 30 to November 6, followed by a November 4 to November 12 trade window.
But without certainty on key questions like list sizes and the salary cap for next season, clubs are struggling with trade and delisting decisions related to the upcoming period.
If the exchange window was delayed, it won't be pushed back significantly, according to SEN. It will still likely take place some time in November.
