6th day trade talk....Geelong defender
Jeremy Laidler likely to move to Carlton today.
Dockers said yesterday they would not budge on their demands for exchanging
Chris Tarrant because clubs such as Hawthorn and Carlton, who have picks before Collingwood, would pick up Tarrant in the national draft. They believe the Magpies will increase their offer or lose Tarrant. However, the Magpies claim Tarrant would be a handy addition to the club, but not a critical one.
A move for
Andrew Walker to the Power also has been complicated by the fact Daniel Motlop could yet remain on its books. But there remained a possibility yesterday that Carlton could pay a portion of Walker's salary next season to get him a new home.
Sam Jacobs' move to Adelaide remains at a deadlock as the Blues refuse to budge on its demand for the Crows' first round selection - No. 14 overall. A deal involving a swap of first-round selections - the Blues have No. 18 - could still eventuate.
Setanta O'hAilpin, who has been linked with Sydney, has asked for a trade.
Other names still on the trade table include Geelong's
Ryan Gamble, Hawks
Rick Ladson,
Beau Dowler and
Beau Muston, North's
Gavin Urquhart, Richmond's
Will Thursfield, Sydney's
Paul Bevan, West Coast's
Matt Spangher and Bulldogs forward
Josh Hill.
