Trade week Day 3 summaryBlues utility
Andrew Walker could be heading to South Australia. Port is understood to be considering handing the Blues its first national draft selection, pick 16, which Carlton would certainly accept.
Hawthorn is on the brink of snaring
David Hale after trumping Melbourne's offer for the North Melbourne ruckman/forward. Melbourne offered up pick No.32, but the Hawks are prepared to give up the compensation pick it received for Campbell Brown departing to the Gold Coast.
Neither Adelaide nor Carlton was budging over ruckman
Sam Jacobs, the Blues insisting on a first-round pick and the Crows offering a second-round choice (around No. 33). The Crows were hopeful a deal would be brokered by Monday.
Justin Sherman may finish trade week where he started it - as a Brisbane Lion - with the Swans told yesterday that he would rather see out the final year of his contract with Brisbane than move to Sydney. The Lions prefer Sydney's offer of pick 21 to the Bulldogs' pledge of a late-20s pick - their compensation selection for losing Jarrod Harbrow to the Gold Coast - but their hand may be forced should the Swans accept Sherman's reluctance and back away.
Talks between Collingwood and Fremantle on
Chris Tarrant are also expected to stretch to the death. The Dockers want a player or, at the very least, a mid-range pick. Collingwood's pick No.25 is now gone in return for Andrew Krakouer.
Another player to be pre-listed by Gold Coast - North Ballarat defender
Cam Richardson - has told the club he wants only to be drafted to North Melbourne, the Roosters' AFL affiliate.
Nathan Djerrkura remains likely to end up at either the Western Bulldogs or Hawthorn, with the Cats keen to get that deal moving soon.
