A Giants captain's move to Victoria continues to make more sense.

The piece of intrigue regarding a St Kilda assistant's future amid links to the Carlton vacancy.

And more drama coming from the Bombers.

All that and more from media buzz...

Why Greene to the Cats makes sense

Media personality and Demons icon Garry Lyon can see GWS captain Toby Greene return to Victoria in the off-season.

Greene is currently working through his contract, with the Giants putting forward a three-year extension worth $2 million.

However, the lure of a return home, plus the temptation of playing in a flag, puts Geelong in the running for a shock twist.

Greene said he would move to Victoria at some point, but didn't confirm when.

“I know he's the heart and soul of this football club,” Lyon said on AFL 360.

“Maybe he's got to hand it over, maybe it is Tom Green's team from this way forward.

“It didn't occur to me at all, but when you stop and think, and you hear the fact that he is going to come home, he's got another baby on the way, you would not rule out him bobbing up at Geelong, for instance and playing for another three years down there.”

The wrinkle in Carlton's coaching candidate

St Kilda assistant Corey Enright is deemed a genuine candidate to fill the vacancy at Carlton following the departure of Michael Voss.

Enright is out of contract and is tipped to begin contract talks as the Saints want to retain the highly-regarded coach.

However, with Ross Lyon unlikely to leave the hot seat, the former Cat could begin exploring senior coaching opportunities.

Will Scott be at the Bombers in 2027?

Essendon CEO Tim Roberts commented on Scott's future at the club.

"Brad is part of the strategy."

"He's totally aligned. Where I sit, he'll be our coach (in 2027). 

"I'm not into speculation (if we go 1-12). Our focus at the moment is continue to develop our players, and that isn't going to happen over night. We set a strategy, and we need to stick to it."

Merrett opens up on new role at the Bombers

Essendon midfielder Zach Merrett is trying to "make the most" of where the club is at as they unveil a host of youngsters amid a disappointing 1-9 start.

The Bombers have gone down the rebuild path and have collected many talented youths.

Merrett, who handed over the captaincy last year following his failed trade attempt, has taken on new roles to assist coach Brad Scott in leading the group and developing the youngsters.

“It's felt a bit clunky this year,” he said on AFL360.

“Trying to play different roles and plug positions to try and help the team has been fun and a different challenge … but you don't get the continuity.

“I'm there to help Brad (coach Scott) as much as I can in different roles, and that's probably been different to other years as well.

“Last year, being captain, you feel like everything is on your shoulders – this year has felt a little different.

“I've spent more time on ground floor helping the kids.”

Hawks want AFL compensation following Tassie end

Hawthorn has been booted from the Apple Isle as the competition prepares for the Tasmania Devils to enter the league.

The Hawks have held a relationship with the state for the past 25 years, earning financial benefits and turning UTAS into a fortress.

From 2028, that will be no more.

However, the brown and gold will seek compensation for the suspected $5 million earned each year from the Tassie deal.
