Day 2 summary in the papers this morning...Collingwood will trade their first round pick 25 to the Gold Coast for
Andrew KrakouerGold Coast will then ontrade pick 25 along with a swap of first round picks 10 and 15 to Brisbane in return for
Jared BrennanJosh Fraser may be delisted before the 2pm deadline for Gold Coast uncontracted players so he moves to the Suns and Collingwood receive a compensation pick in return.
The Dockers last night were no closer to finalising a deal with Collingwood, which wants
Chris Tarrant back in the fold after four seasons with Fremantle.
Port Adelaide is set to sack enigmatic forward
Daniel Motlop after receiving little interest in him.
Carlton has remained firm that it wants a pick between 10 and 20 for
Andrew Walker, meaning it would require Port's first-round pick at selection 16, although Port's Daniel Motlop may shape negotiations. While Carlton is not interested in Motlop, were Port to trade Motlop to another club there could be a three-way arrangement.
Adelaide ruckman
Jon Griffin will go to Fremantle for a third-round choice.
Contracted Adelaide midfielder
Tony Armstrong has attracted interest from Hawthorn, North Melbourne and Sydney.
Carlton's Setanta O'hAilpin is on the Dogs' radar, but only if other plans fall into place.
West Coast will axe out-of-contract trio
Ben McKinley,
Matt Spangher and
Beau Wilkes if there are no takers during the trade period. McKinley has attracted minimal interest from the Kangaroos, while Carlton and Hawthorn have a minor interest in Spangher.
The Blues also hold some interest in out-of-favour Collingwood key-position player
John Anthony.
Bret Thornton, 26, has asked Carlton to help him find a new club and Hawthorn, which pursued him two years ago, seems his most hopeful destination.
Hawks are looking to offload
Rick Ladson, who is contracted for another year,
Beau Dowler and
Beau Muston.
