Don't miss out on the headlines from Victoria. Followed categories will be added to My News. Charlton's mid-season signing of former Bendigo midfielder Liam Collins has met with instant success. Collins played for Queensland club Burleigh last year before recently joining Charlton where his brother Mitch is coach. Liam booted two goals for Charlton in its 13-point win against St Arnaud on Saturday after previously playing for Kangaroo Flat in the Bendigo league. Mitch is in his second season as Charlton coach and also joined the North Central club from Kangaroo Flat. Charlton president Kris Dixon said the club was discussing its coaching plans for 2026 with a decision expected 'in a few weeks'. The June 30 clearance deadline passed on Monday with minimal activity compared to previous seasons. Most of the player movement action had taken place with Port Adelaide draftee Jesse Palmer joining Central Highlands club Skipton. Palmer played two matches for Old Xaverians last year after spending the previous three seasons at WAFL club Swan Districts. North Central flag contender Calder United signed former SANFL key forward Dale Pearce a fortnight ago. Former Corowa-Rutherglen duo Tyler Roos and Jeremy Clayton reunited at Kaniva-Leeor and played in the win against previously undefeated Noradjuha-Quantong on Saturday.
