HAWTHORN defender Ryan Burton will undergo a medical test on Monday as he contemplates moving to Port Adelaide to help facilitate the Chad Wingard trade.

Burton is holidaying in the United States but members of Port's medical team will test him in Las Vegas on Monday (Australian time).

The South Australian had been touted as a possible No.1 draft pick but slipped to No.19 in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft after suffering a severe left leg break a year earlier.

Burton quickly returned to full fitness after arriving at the Hawks and has played 43 of a possible 46 games over the past two seasons, but Port understandably wants to do its due diligence before agreeing to part with the contracted Wingard.

It's understood Burton, who was blindsided by the Hawks' decision to put him on the trade table, is warming to the idea of moving home to play at Alberton.

But a deal could still take some time as Port is yet to tick off on Hawthorn's offer of Burton and pick No.15 for Wingard, and could demand more for the dual All Australian.

Big names remain in limbo

There was little movement in discussions over some of this year's remaining big-name targets over the weekend.

Fremantle appeared happy to hold its ground on contracted midfield star Lachie Neale and Melbourne spearhead Jesse Hogan, making no move to reopen its respective talks with Brisbane and the Demons.

The Dockers are understood to be better progressed in their talks with Greater Western Sydney over forward/ruckman Rory Lobb. A deal looks likely to be brokered around the Giants receiving pick No.11, while a subsequent swap of picks – potentially pick No.14 to Fremantle and pick No.23 to GWS – should finalise the deal.

Former Brisbane captain Dayne Beams also seems no closer to getting his desired return to Collingwood. The Lions would want a sizeable return to release the decorated midfielder from the final two years of his contract, but the Pies' first pick does not come until No.18 and no Magpies players have emerged as likely parts of a deal.

The Eagles' bid to land contracted Geelong midfielder Tim Kelly is also at a stalemate.

It seems unlikely West Coast will be able to convert picks 20 and 22 – at a combined 1757 points, they are worth slightly more than pick No.6 on the AFL's draft value index – into a selection near the top-10 call Geelong is demanding.

Port Adelaide (picks 6 and 10) and Adelaide (8 and 13) are looking to improve their positions in the draft rather than split picks, while Essendon's pick No.9 has been committed to a trade for GWS star Dylan Shiel and Fremantle won't part with pick No.11 while GWS is eyeing it in the clubs' talks over Lobb.

It's understood the Eagles, together with Geelong, inquired at one stage about the Western Bulldogs' pick No.7, with the Cats then prepared to send their pick No.12 to the Dogs as part of an elaborate pick swap.

However, the Bulldogs soon ruled out any such deal and, barring an exceptional offer, will take pick No.7 to the NAB AFL Draft 

Given there has been no suggestion of a West Coast player moving to Geelong, the Eagles could target rival teams' future draft picks in an effort to satisfy the Cats for Kelly.

Duryea headed for Dogs

Dual Hawthorn premiership defender Taylor Duryea  appears set to move to the Western Bulldogs after being overlooked in the NAB AFL Free Agency Period.

Duryea has a one-year offer on the table from the Hawks, but has attracted interest from the Western Bulldogs and Sydney.

The Bulldogs did not make Duryea a free agency offer because they did not want to risk downgrading the second-round compensation pick, No.27 overall, they received for Luke Dahlhaus' move to Geelong.

However, they have continued to pursue Duryea, 27, keen to welcome the experience he would bring in the wake of Dahlhaus' departure, Jordan Roughead's looming move to Collingwood, Marcus Adams' possible move to Brisbane and the early retirements of Shane Biggs, Jack Redpath and Clay Smith.

It's understood their overtures have been successful, with the Dogs poised to secure Duryea on a two-year contract. They must first broker a trade with the Hawks, although the negotiations aren't expected to be difficult. 

The Swans put Duryea through a medical in the lead-up to the free agency period but elected not to make him an offer as they focused on wooing Collingwood defender Tom Langdon.

In other news:

• Wantaway Bulldogs defender Marcus Adams appears closer to getting his desired move to Brisbane. The Dogs had been seeking a pick in the 20s while the Lions hoped to do the deal for one of pick 41 or 44. But there could be room for compromise if Brisbane makes pick No.32 available in return for Adams and a favourable swap of later picks.
• Carlton has inquired about out-of-contract Sydney defender Nic Newman, but it's unclear whether the Blues will seek to trade for him before Wednesday's 8.30pm deadline. Newman met with North Melbourne ahead of the Trade Period, but the Roos' interest cooled after they secured Port Adelaide defender Jasper Pittard as part of their Jared Polec.
• Versatile Bulldogs defender Jordan Roughead will get to Collingwood in an exchange of late picks, with the Dogs likely to accept the Magpies' No.57 pick – the free agency compensation selection they received after Alex Fasolo's move to Carlton – and send either pick 63 or 64 back to Collingwood.
• Out-of-contract Geelong defender Jackson Thurlow, 2012's No.16 draft pick, remains in limbo. However, Gold Coast is monitoring his situation and could look to bring him to Metricon Stadium if he is still available in the rookie draft.
• Other trades expected to be completed before Wednesday's deadline include Tiger forward Sam Lloyd's move to the Western Bulldogs, Suns defender Jack Scrimshaw's move to Hawthorn, Gold Coast midfielder Aaron Hall's move to North Melbourne, and Cat George Horlin-Smith's move to Gold Coast.
