Carlton has expressed interest in Collingwood's
Chris Dawes, Essendon's
Scott Gumbleton and Port Adelaide defender
Matt Thomas.
Up to five clubs are believed to have expressed interest in
Gumbleton.
Jordan Gysberts is likely to make his way to Geelong later in the trade period, possibly for a second-round pick.
Both the Bombers and Western Bulldogs have some interest in out-of-contract West Coast midfielder
Koby Stevens but are looking to spend no more than a third-round choice.

Stephen Gilham. The Suns will trade for players such as Josh Caddy and Josh Toy, and Gilham's name has emerged as a potential target.

Tippett as Adelaide stands firm the Queenslander will cost much more than a second-round draft pick. The Swans already know Adelaide's needs - a key defender or a key forward. This puts Sydney premiership duo
Sam Reid and Norwood draftee
Heath Grundy on Adelaide's wishlist. Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland has not ruled out the Swans parting with a premiership player if that is what is required to secure a deal this trade period.

Hamish McIntosh. North wants Geelong's second-round pick (36), but the Cats are hoping their third-round selection will be enough.
BOTH clubs, as well as St Kilda, lead the race for Victoria-bound Gold Coast midfielder
Josh Caddy, with Geelong's compensation pick for Gary Ablett of interest to the Suns. This compensation would appeal to the Suns because they can hold off on using it until 2014. The Suns alarmed all three clubs yesterday by insisting they would require two first-round draft picks for the out-of-contract midfielder. All three clubs have said they would not trade two picks for him.
The Saints are also interested in Gold Coast ruckman
Tom Hickey, but have been told their second-round draft pick offer is insufficient and the Suns want a first-round pick for him.
MELBOURNE, which secured father-son pick Jack Viney and still managed to keep the prized pick No.3, said Collingwood forward
Chris Dawes was still a possibility to join the Demons.
MAGPIE
Sharrod Wellingham also has been linked to Melbourne, but wants only to move back to Perth and join West Coast.
GWS could yet own the first three picks in November's draft if a deal with Melbourne for pre-listed 17-year-old
Jesse Hogan is agreed.
PORT Adelaide has shown some interest in Carlton's
Jordan Russell and Melbourne's
Jared Rivers, who is also on Geelong's radar.
ST KILDA is keen on securing Eagles defender
Mitch Brown in a deal that could involve homesick midfielder
Jamie Cripps.
GIANTS ruckman
Jonathan Giles is in strong demand from clubs including Collingwood and Adelaide.
