During the 2026 Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period, notable trades involving Nick Murray, Jayden Short, and Gryan Miers did not go through. North Melbourne sought to acquire Murray from Adelaide, but their best offer fell short of the Crows' demands. Short, a two-time premiership defender, aimed for a move to Collingwood, yet negotiations were halted shortly before the trade deadline. Miers, who had hopes of joining another club, remains with Geelong as talks did not gain traction. Clubs are now preparing for the upcoming pre-season as these players return to their original teams.
