Cats secure defender, Bombers land utility in trade - afl.com.au — Essendon Defender Jordan Ridley Heads to Geelong

Essendon defender Jordan Ridley has been sent to Geelong, with the deal completed on 7 October 2026. The trade sends utility Jack Bowes to Essendon along with four draft picks.

Ridley had been long rumoured for the Cats after Essendon placed a strong asking price on the defender. Essendon were unwilling to let him go cheaply throughout the trade period.

The completed swap gives Geelong an reliable defender while Essendon gains Bowes and additional selections. Bowes is capable across multiple positions who bolsters the Essendon list heading into the new season.
