St Kilda
The Saints are said to be in talks with Essendon over a deal that would see Dylan Shiel move to Moorabbin following a lucrative bid from the Bombers for St Kilda free agent Jade Gresham, with the draft compensation from that acquisition swapping places with Shiel, among other potential pieces. That move could add to a suite of trades for the Saints, who are poised to land Liam Henry from Fremantle. Carlton's Paddy Dow is also anticipated to head to St Kilda, who could have interest in North Melbourne's Todd Goldstein and Gold Coast's Brodie McLaughlin.
