Tigers “mystified” by Magpies’ Short-coming

Richmond is believed to be somewhat “mystified” by Collingwood’s lack of action surrounding Jayden Short.

The premiership veteran, who is open to leaving the Tigers, has interest from the Magpies through senior coach Craig McRae after the pair worked together at Punt Road.

But despite the attention shown by the Pies, there has been no offer forthcoming which has the Tigers perplexed.

“Richmond is more than a little bit mystified by given their thinking is that the coach of Collingwood has been driving this for much of the year,” Edmund said on AFL Trade Radio.

“Then when the whips have started to crack they’re nowhere to be seen. So they’ve turned his head, he wants to play for Collingwood, and now no offer forthcoming for him.

“There’s still time, clearly, but they’ve got some list issues we hear as well now, Collingwood. No trade offer put forward for Jayden Short.

“So that’s frustrating Richmond a little bit.

“There is (angst) for that very reason and this one has got to a stage where Short absolutely wants a fresh start.

“You talk about players and not everyone getting on with the coach and everyone not always happy with their role and the spot they play in the side.

“Well, that’s Jayden Short with Adem Yze, He just wants a fresh start.

“So he wants it to be a reunion with Craig McRae, but at the moment no real movement at the station there.”

North tables offer for Murray

Amid all their work on Nick Blakey, the Kangaroos have tabled an offer to Adelaide for Nick Murray.

As Cal Twomey reports, North have offered Pick 33 (which they are likely to receive from Melbourne for Zane Duursma) and their 2027 future first.

The Crows are keen on a pick in the top 20 of this year's draft.

Retired Docker to join North

Sam Switkowski is on the verge of joining North Melbourne as a development coach.

AFL Media's Josh Gabelich is reporting that Switkowski, who announced his shock retirement in August, will take a coaching role with the Kangaroos.

The Melbourne native will link up with his former Freo forward line coach Jaymie Graham who is now the senior coach at the Roos.

Switkowski will work alongside Richmond premiership player Kane Lambert in North's development team.

Swans interested in delisted Blue

Sydney is reportedly showing interest in Zac Williams.

Channel 7's Mitch Cleary says the Swans have an eye on the delisted Carlton defender.

With Nick Blakey still a strong chance to join North Melbourne in a trade, as well as Callum Mills' ACL injury and veteran Harry Cunningham's departure to Adelaide, the Swans are seeking half-back depth.

Williams started his career at GWS in 2013, playing 113 games for the Giants before joining the Blues ahead of the 2021 campaign.

SEN's Tom Morris further reported that Swans coach Dean Cox had spoken to Williams who is keen to play on next year.
