THE NAB AFL Trade Period has kicked into gear over the last couple of days as Steven Motlop has opted to make Port Adelaide his new home.
Meanwhile, the deal to send speedy backman Hayden Crozier from Fremantle to the Western Bulldogs went through on Friday.
AFL.com.au's Trade Winds will provide a round-up of the latest action each morning until the end of the Trade Period on Thursday, October 19.
Fringe Tigers keen to stick around
Sam Lloyd is likely to fulfil is contract for 2018 at Richmond, according to the Herald Sun.
Lloyd was considered best-on-ground in the VFL Grand Final but couldn't find his way into the team that won the AFL premiership.
Meanwhile, West Australian Reece Conca is also expected to play out his contract next season at the Tigers.
Stringer still on track for Dons
Doubts surround Essendon's ability to acquire Jake Stringer from the Bulldogs after trading away No.11 for Devon Smith but Channel Seven reports a trade will go through.
The transaction will involve the Bombers giving up two second-round selections in the NAB AFL Draft, as well as a later pick swap.
Stringer's manager Robbie D'Orazio told Channel Seven it was almost impossible to see his client at the Dogs next year, despite the premiership player being contracted until the end of 2018.
"You never say never but I don't think the Bulldogs would want Jake back and I don't think Jake wants to go there either," D'Orazio said.
Jack to choose Port: reports
Out-of-favour Melbourne forward Jack Watts has decided to go to Port Adelaide, the Herald Sun says.
The Demons want an early second-round selection for Watts. The Power's first two picks in this year's draft are No.30 and 33.
Some of Watts' reported $500,000 salary will likely be paid for by Melbourne to ease the path for the deal to go through, while also allowing the Demons to ask for a higher selection at the draft.
Geelong had wanted Watts but was not willing to give up No.21 for him, while its No.34 pick would not have satisfied Melbourne
