What time is the AFL Trade Period deadline?

The AFL Trade Period will close at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, October 15.

All trades need to have their paperwork submitted by this time and the AFL will announce the trades once they are approved.

This will see several trades announced after 7:30pm (AEDT) as the AFL sorts through all the paperwork.

Will all AFL clubs speak publicly to the media on their trading?

Yes, between 2:30pm (AEDT) and the completion of announced trades on Wednesday, October 2015, all AFL clubs will have all-in interviews with the media.

During this interview, clubs will discuss their acquisitions, outgoing players and any speculated deals that didn't eventuate.
