Silvagni officially a Saint, TDK move looms
Jack Silvagni is officially a St Kilda player after paperwork for his free agency move was lodged on Friday morning. Carlton has been awarded pick 19 as compensation.
Restricted free agent Tom De Koning's switch from the navy blue to the red, white and black is also imminent, with the Saints officially making an offer. The Blues now have 72 hours to decide whether to match it, but it is unexpected they will.
"I'm incredibly excited to be joining St Kilda and starting this new chapter," Silvagni said in a statement.
"The Saints have a strong mix of established talent and exciting young players, and I feel I can add to that with my experience, versatility and drive to compete.
"As a young father, this decision is also about building the next stage of my life with my wife Grace and our son Charlie. The opportunity to grow both on and off the field in a stable and supportive environment was really important in making this choice.
"Carlton will always be part of me. It's where I grew up, where my AFL career began, and it's deeply connected to my family and our history in the game.
"I'll always be grateful for the experiences I had there and the people who supported me. But now I'm looking forward with full focus on the Saints, and doing everything I can to help us push forward."
Port secure Giants runner
Port Adelaide have secured the services of 27-year-old Jacob Wehr, who played 39 games for the Giants predominantly across wing and half-back after being selected as a mature-age player in the 2020 draft.
Hawks mid set to join Cats
Geelong has bolstered its midfield group with the addition of former Hawk James Worpel, who will join the club as a free agent and is expected to sign a four-year deal should the Hawks not match the Geelong offer.
Worpel, 26, played 148 games for the brown and gold across eight seasons, including 21 this season.
Premiership Demon becomes a Roo
Melbourne forward Charlie Spargo has joined North Melbourne as an unrestricted free agent on Friday.
Spargo played 108 games and booted 64 goals for the Demons, and was a part of the club's drought-breaking premiership in 2021.
The 25-year-old will add much-needed depth to Alastair Clarkson's developing small forward crop.
