There is still a long way to go for several clubs engaged in stalemate negotiations with rivals.

Hawthorn trade story flipped on its head

Hawthorn was being portrayed publicly last week as a “desperate” club doing anything and everything to secure top-end draft picks as part of the list re-build under new coach Sam Mitchell.

However, a new report on Monday showed the Hawks may have more bargaining power than first thought with the club’s salary cap position not impacting their trade moves in any way.

Channel 7’s Mitch Cleary posted on Twitter Monday the Hawks are anything but the basket-case Collingwood was 12 months ago when the Magpies were forced into a fire sale that saw Adam Treloar and Jaidyn Stephenson leave.

“No doubt Hawthorn is open to offloading a star player. But only at the right price,” he wrote.

“O’Meara/Gunston/T.Mitchell/Wingard are contracted and the Hawks have ample salary cap room so they don’t need to jump at any offer.

“Direct opposite to Collingwood’s fire sale last year.”

It emerged on Friday O’Meara was a target for Port Adelaide.

According to the Herald Sun, the 27-year-old was emerging as a person of interest for the Power, despite the club yet to contact him.

Port Adelaide is hoping to facilitate a trade that would see ruck-forward Peter Ladhams go to the Sydney Swans, before pursuing a deal with O’Meara.

Port Adelaide has sufficient space in its salary cap and potentially early draft picks to contemplate acquiring O’Meara, but discussions are still in the very early stages.

Adelaide to reject Swans’ latest offer for Dawson

Adelaide will reportedly reject Sydney’s second offer to trade Jordan Dawson.

The Crows has been offered a deal that would see them receive the 24-year-old as well as the Swans’ future first and second round picks.

Sydney would get Melbourne’s future first round pick recently acquired by Adelaide, as well as the Crows’ future first and second-round selections.

The Swans were believed to be keen on the swap, but 7News Adelaide’s Theo Doropoulos reported it won’t be going ahead.

Neither will a deal that would have seen Dawson and pick 12 swapped for pick 4.

Richmond and North Melbourne deal done

Richmond has traded tall forward Callum Coleman-Jones, pick 42, 47 and a future fourth round pick to North Melbourne in exchange for Robbie Tarrant, pick 40 and a future second round pick.

Coleman-Jones will boost the Kangaroos’ stocks up forward, while key defender Tarrant will fill the hole left by the retirements of Tigers David Astbury and Bachar Houli.

Desperate coach hawking Hawthorn stars

New Hawks coach Sam Mitchell was reportedly personally ringing rival clubs on Friday to attract interest in some of his team’s biggest stars

The development comes after rumours the club is ready to negotiate a deal for any player on its list over the age of 26 in order to acquire a first round draft pick.

Kane Cornes first claimed on AFL Trade Radio the Hawks are even willing to put Tom Mitchell, Jaeger O’Meara, Chad Wingard and Jack Gunston on the trade table.

It followed an eyebrow-raising open letter Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett sent the club’s members warning for fans to be prepared for a “surprise” move this trade period.

The club is entering a new era under Mitchell and are looking to rebuild its list with young talent.

Friday’s report from SEN journalist Sam Edmund showed just how serious the Hawks are in letting the club’s biggest names leave — at the right price.

Edmund reported the Hawks have been coming up empty.

“Hawthorn’s desperation to trade one of its stars for a top draft pick extends to coach Sam Mitchell ringing rival clubs himself in a bid to spark interest,” Edmund wrote on Twitter.

“Hawks getting increasingly desperate given there is so far no takers for the likes of Mitchell, O’Meara and Wingard.”

Fremantle star isn’t wanted by the Dockers

The negotiations between GWS and Fremantle surrounding ruckman Rory Lobb appear no closer to being sorted, despite a report emerging on Friday morning the Dockers don’t want to retain their star tall.

Widespread reports this week revealed Lobb has expressed interest in returning to GWS — the club where he started his career.

But the 29-year-old still has two years left on his contract at the Dockers, which is believed to be worth around $700,000.

The Dockers on Thursday night made a public declaration through football boss Peter Bell that the club wants Lobb to stay.

However, SEN reporter Sam Edmund said Friday morning the Dockers want Lobb to move on.

“Yesterday this move was absolutely on,” Edmund said on SEN Breakfast.

“He doesn’t want to stay at Fremantle, they don’t want him to stay.

“Peter Bell threw a curveball in last night, as did Lobb’s manager Colin Young when they both said the offer will not get it done.”

The comments from Bell have been interpreted by some to be a message the club won’t accept whatever the Giants are offering in exchange for letting Lobb break his contract.

Young’s public comment reportedly surrounds his desire to push for the Giants to extend their contract offer to a four-year deal worth around $2 million.

Lobb has reportedly already completed a medical for GWS, where he played 79 games between 2014 and 2018.

Edmund had earlier said the Giants may not be the only team interested in Lobb.

“Rory Lobb to GWS is absolutely on,” Edmund tweeted.

“Lobb has been wanting out & Melb based clubs were told he’d take less than 700k he’s on now.

“The GWS call came earlier this week & Dockers (were) told today.

“Lobb’s done a medical & clubs to talk trades tomorrow. Unclear whether GWS players involved.”

Brisbane midfielder Lachie Neale was linked with a move back to the Perth club before was linked before he quashed talk of a trade.

Hawks star makes move to Dogs

Hawthorn star Tim O’Brien has joined the Western Bulldogs in a direct replacement for Lewis Young.

According to widespread reports, O’Brien has made his move to the grand finalists as an unrestricted free agent.

It follows the Bulldogs’ earlier move of letting Young join Carlton in exchange for the No. 52 draft pick. O’Brien is expected to make a move to playing as a defender.

The AFL is yet to announce the compensation Hawthorn will receive for seeing O’Brien leave

West Coast ‘skinned’ Carlton in confirmed trade

Carlton has traded Sam Petrevski-Seton to West Coast for the No. 52 draft pick.

In a deal that ropes in the Western Bulldogs, the Blues have moved the No. 52 pick to the Western Bulldogs in a trade for Lewis Young.

Channel 7’s Perth sports presenter Adrian Barich posted on Twitter the Eagles had “skinned” the Blues by getting Petrevski-Seton so cheaply.

Adam Cerra deal completed, Blues pay steep price

Adam Cerra is celebrating his 22nd birthday in a Carlton jumper after the trade paperwork for a deal with Fremantle was officially lodged with the AFL on Thursday.

The stalemate between Carlton and Fremantle has been the biggest saga of the trade period so far and it is ending just as dramatically as it started.

The deal will see Carlton hand over its No. 6 draft pick as well as a future third round pick.

It was seen as a win for the Blues that Fremantle caved on negotiations surrounding a future second round pick and ultimately accepted the third round selection.

However, the details of the trade show just how much Carlton is giving up to sign the rising star.

As first reported by Fox Footy’s Max Laughton, the draft picks handed over by Carlton is the equivalent of the overall No. 4 pick, as measured by the AFL Draft Value Index — less than the haul of draft picks Geelong sent to GWS in its high-stakes deal surrounding star forward Jeremy Cameron.

Fremantle had earlier taken Cerra as the No. 5 overall draft pick.

Cerra has reportedly signed a four-year deal worth around $2.8 million.

The stalemate in the Carlton-Fremantle’s trade negotiations was unlocked earlier on Thursday when the Gold Coast Suns cut a deal with the Dockers which includes sending its No. 19 draft pick to Fremantle

Carlton hand over its prized No. 6 draft selection and its future second round pick.
