FIRST it was Sam Mitchell's shock switch to West Coast, and now Jordan Lewis is the latest Hawthorn champion to be linked to a move away from the powerhouse club.
While the Hawks baulked at trading Lewis to Melbourne, the discussions show nothing is off the table during the NAB AFL Trade Period.
AFL.com.au's Trade Winds will provide a round-up of the latest action every morning until the end of the Trade Period on Thursday, October 20.
Tom talks break down on Rocky trade road
BRISBANE Lions captain Tom Rockliff looks set to stay at the club after a proposed trade with Collingwood broke down.
The Courier Mail is reporting the Magpies offered Levi Greenwood for Rockliff and also wanted the Lions to pay a major part of Rockliff's wage next season.
A trade could still be on the cards, but there appears to be little interest for Rockliff among rival clubs.
Meanwhile, The Courier Mail also reports the Lions are considering making a bid for Gold Coast academy star Jack Bowes in the NAB AFL Draft.
If the Lions bid for Bowes with the third overall pick, it would force the Suns to use pick four, rather than pick eight as it had hoped.
Did Swans' fat cats squeeze out Mitchell?
THE SYDNEY Swans are adamant the large contracts of Lance Franklin and Kurt Tippett didn't force out Tom Mitchell, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The Swans traded Mitchell to Hawthorn for pick No.14 and have now turned their attention to re-signing young gun Isaac Heeney, who is off-contract at the end of next year.
Gold Coast is rumoured to have interest in acquiring Tippett if the Swans need to find room in the salary cap.
Indicative draft order: What picks will your club take to the draft
It's Adelaide calling again. Don't answer!
BRYCE Gibbs's proposed move to Adelaide has hit a wall with The Advertiser reporting Carlton is refusing to take calls from the Crows.
The Blues are reportedly content on the 27-year-old contracted star staying at the club unless the Crows blow them out of the water with an offer.
That appears unlikely unless the Crows significantly change their stance, with young stars Mitch McGovern, Jake Lever and Charlie Cameron unwilling to be involved in a trade.
The Advertiser also reports Port Adelaide would most likely receive Gold Coast's third-round selection - which at this stage is pick No. 44 - if a deal can be done for midfielder Brendon Ah Chee, who has requested a trade to the Suns to play alongside his brother Callum.
Who isn't on the table at Hawthorn?
THE BRISBANE Lions loom as pivotal player in helping Hawthorn get the deal with Jaeger O'Meara over the line.
The Australian reports that two Hawks players, including Billy Hartung, are likely to join the Lions for a second-round draft pick.
The Hawks will then package multiple second-round selections, including the one they gained from Fremantle for Bradley Hill, in a deal to bring O'Meara to the club..
How to stop the go-home factor
THE Herald Sun reports the AFL is considering a proposal to increase the first contract of draftees from two to three years to prevent the go-home factor, especially for players drafted in the first two rounds.
The Brisbane Lions (James Aish to Collingwood), Greater Western Sydney (Caleb Marchbank to most likely Carlton) and Gold Coast (Josh Caddy to Geelong) would be the clubs to benefit the most from the change after losing players in recent years.
However, the newspaper reports the AFL Players' Association has opposed the move, believing it is difficult to place a value on a players' worth for their third season.
