• AFL.com.au's best 22 of potential trade targets
RICHMOND is searching for a late first-round selection to satisfy Carlton's demands for Chris Yarran, with scenarios involving picks being discussed on Tuesday.
It is understood the Tigers value Yarran between pick No.15 and the early 20s, and they acknowledge he is a player worthy of a first-round pick.
The Tigers have ruled out swapping their pick No.12 directly for Yarran, and their second-round selection (No.31) is too late to satisfy the Blues.
A number of scenarios are being discussed – and it remains possible other players could become involved in the deal – but there is a feeling the trade will still take days to play out.
North Melbourne, Fremantle, Hawthorn, the Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast all hold picks between No.15 and No.22 that the Tigers could target.
Hawks cool on Richmond-bound Yarran
Greater Western Sydney midfielder Jacob Townsend is having his move to the Tigers' held up by the Yarran talks, but it is understood a trade for the 22-year-old has been all but settled.
AFL.com.au understands the Tigers will send a later-round selection to the Giants, but that pick will be determined by a potential swap of picks between the Tigers and the Blues in the Yarran deal.
The raft of clubs chasing Hawk Jed Anderson will have to come up with an early second-round draft pick to convince Hawthorn to part with the contracted midfielder.
It’s understood the Hawks want a pick from No.20 to No.25 for Anderson, who has played just 10 games in three seasons at Waverley, with injury and the Hawks' midfield strength preventing him from establishing himself as a regular senior player.
Adelaide, North Melbourne and Carlton are among the clubs believed to be chasing Anderson.
Gold Coast could be about to up the ante in its pursuit of Collingwood defender Paul Seedsman.
It's believed the Suns are considering offering the Pies their second-round pick, No.22, for Seedsman, an offer that fellow suitors North Melbourne and Adelaide could struggle to match.
Seedsman has been overseas but is set to return to Melbourne later this week, when he will nominate his preferred club.
North Melbourne midfielder Ryan Bastinac has attracted interest from rival clubs led by the Brisbane Lions and Melbourne, but has yet to request a trade.
Bastinac shaped as one of North's most promising midfielders in his first four seasons at Arden Street, finishing eighth in the Roos' 2012 best and fairest award and sixth in 2013.
However, he struggled to adapt to a more outside role last year and was dropped four times in 2015 before missing North's entire finals campaign.
The 24-year-old is contracted until the end of 2017, so the Lions, Demons and any other interested clubs will have to make North a compelling offer for the midfielder.

Fellow Roo midfielder Brad McKenzie has also attracted some interest from rival clubs.
Unlike Bastinac, the 22-year-old South Australian is uncontracted and after playing just one senior game this season – in round 23 when nine senior Roos were rested ahead of the finals – he could pounce on any opportunity to make a fresh start.
The ruck market is starting to become clearer with Dawson Simpson set to ink a deal with Greater Western Sydney shortly, and North's Daniel Currie expected to join Gold Coast.
AFL.com.au revealed last Friday that the Suns were making a serious play for Currie, but GWS was also understood to have inquired about the Roo big man as it sought to provide support to its No.1 ruckman Shane Mumford.
Carlton's Robbie Warnock had also been on the Giants' radar.
Fellow Blue Levi Casboult is understood to have attracted Fremantle's attention, although Greater Western Sydney's Cam McCarthy remains the Dockers' clear priority as they continue their long search for a key forward.
Casboult remains contracted at Carlton for next season and has already been linked to the Brisbane Lions, possibly as part of a package deal with Blues midfielder Tom Bell, who is seeking to return home to Queensland.

The Giants have given no indication they will buckle on their pledge not to trade McCarthy, who is contracted until the end of 2017.
"We love Cam, and he loves Sydney, and Cam will be staying. He'll be staying with the Giants," the club's football manager Graeme Allan told NAB AFL Trade Radio on Tuesday.
"He'll be definitely playing with us next year. We love him. Leon (Cameron) is a big fan of his."
Tomlinson's manager confirms Victorian interest
Out-of-contract Port Adelaide utility Andrew Moore seems likely to be at a new club in 2016, with Richmond showing some interest.
The future of Western Bulldogs forward Jarrad Grant remains up in the air, with Dogs list manager Jason McCartney telling Trade Radio on Tuesday that the club would make a decision on the free agent over the next 10 days.
"We've had some really good dialogue with his management, and where Jarrad sits we need that flexibility going into this trade period," McCartney said.
Gold Coast remain steadfast in its belief that key forward Charlie Dixon is worth more than the pick No.10 Port Adelaide has put on the table for the 25-year-old.
Until that deal can be resolved, the Power aren't prepared to seriously consider a trade for Melbourne midfielder Jimmy Toumpas.
AFL.com.au understands the Demons would be prepared to accept Port Adelaide's pick No.29 for the 21-year-old, who played 27 games for Melbourne after being selection No.4 at the 2012 NAB AFL Draft.
However Port must wait to see what transpires with Dixon before turning their full attention to the Toumpas deal.
The Demons are still awaiting a decision on utility Jeremy Howe, who is considering offers from the Suns and North Melbourne, and remain hopeful of gaining Essendon's Jake Melksham and Greater Western Sydney defender Tom Bugg.
The Demons' chances of gaining Collingwood's Ben Kennedy have drifted in recent days with the original hopes he may be caught up in a three-way trade involving Melbourne, Collingwood and Port Adelaide dashed.
Kennedy is contracted and the expectations of the Demons and the Magpies are a fair way apart at this stage. Circumstances could change depending on Howe's preferred destination.
AFL.com.au understands the Magpies have not expressed interest in either of Port Adelaide's midfielders Aaron Young orMoore.
