Adelaide reportedly has asked for Richmond's first-round draft pick (No. 14) for ruckman Maric.
The Tigers are said to have offered their second-round draft pick (No. 37).
And the end result may be in the middle ground with Adelaide reclaiming the still unused compensation draft pick the Crows gained for losing Nathan Bock to Gold Coast last year and quickly traded to the Tigers for Richard Tambling.
But with ruckmen the prize of this trade period, Adelaide has, not surprisingly, fielded rival offers for Maric, as it also has done for Gunston.
"Ivan - and Jack - have made decisions on where they want to play but we will do the best deal for our football club," said Noble.
"If that is the club the player has chosen, fine. But there are other clubs interested in both of them, not just Hawthorn and Richmond.
"And we are clear on what we want from this trade period. It will be deals that serve the club for the next two years - not the seven days of the trade period."
