ON TUESDAY it was Twitter follows. On Wednesday it was an air ticket.

Sydney Swans ruck/forward Jesse White is continuing his dalliance with Adelaide and The Age and Herald Sun report he is on his way to the City of Churches to meet with Crows coach Brenton Sanderson for discussions over a move to the club in 2013.

Sanderson will be arriving back home at the same time after a sport nut's dream holiday on the west coast of the US, where he had a sideline pass for the San Francisco 49ers-New York Giants NFL game at Candlestick Park last Sunday and good seats for the San Francisco Giants-St Louis Cardinals baseball playoff game the next day.

But the affairs of the Crows will be foremost in his mind once he touches down on Thursday and if the conversations go well with White, then the Kurt Tippett deal will likely get done.

Tippett will be reunited with the family in Sydney that we only recently discovered he had, while in return, Adelaide will receive Sydney's first-round draft selection, expected to be about pick 21 or 22 and White, the 24-year-old, 196cm key forward who played just three games for the Swans in 2012 and was not close to selection during the finals.

Barring something unforeseen, the Tippett deal is the biggest still yet to go down in Gillette AFL Trade Period, which finishes at the end of next week.

A name that has flown under the radar is Koby Stevens, the West Coast midfielder who wishes to return to Victoria and whose manager, Ned Guy, told AFL Trade Radio on Wednesday, is about to decide which club he wants to play for in 2013.

"We've been working through a pretty thorough process, and I'm tipping he'll make a call in the next 24 hours," Guy said.

"And then I'm pretty confident we'll get the deal done, hopefully by the end of this week, if not early next week."?

With the focus for the next two days on the completion of the AFL free agency period, trade talks will likely heat up again over the weekend once the compensatory picks for the free agency departures are determined by the AFL.

That's when there is likely to be movement on deals to get Cam Pedersen to Melbourne from North Melbourne, Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey to St Kilda or another Victorian club and Ben Jacobs from Port Adelaide to North Melbourne, which he declared on Wednesday was his preferred destination.

West Coast continues to declare that defender Mitch Brown is not up for trade, which is probably a good development for Hawthorn's Stephen Gilham, who is weighing up his future, with Gold Coast and Port Adelaide in the mix.

Surprisingly, St Kilda has yet to be linked with 2008 premiership full-back.

Essendon expects key forward Scott Gumbleton to remain with the club for at least another 12 months, the same with ruckman David Hille.
