The final day of free agency has arrived to heat up the AFL trade period even further. Follow all the news, deals and rumours as they happen.

Ratugolea was initially hunted by Hawthorn as well but “they haven’t tried to get involved in a deal”, Cleary added.Geelong coach Chris Scott previously attempted to sway Ratugolea with a public plea. “I’m still hopeful that his future is at Geelong. He’s played a lot of games for us when he probably wasn’t ready, and that’s sort of part of the investment.

“To let him go is not something I’m comfortable with, especially in the current environment where key-position defenders just seem to be, one, hard to get, and, two, very, very expensive. So in that context, I’m hopeful he’ll be wearing the hoops.”Port Adelaide gave that stance short shrift when football boss Chris Davies addressed Ratugolea’s trade request the day after Scott’s remarks.“So typically I’d say he probably won’t be at Geelong next year.
