Players that have already confirmed their desires to play for another club include

Judd - from West Coast to Carlton
Hudson - from Adelaide to WB
Meesen - from Adelaide to Melbourne
Power - has declared he will be leaving the WB to seek further opportunities.....

hand in hand with trade is the rumour mill, once again, the rumour Mill has been working over time.

Adelaide
Jericho - seems to be on Carlton's wish list
McGregor - even though recently signed for 2 years, has attracted interest from WB, Tigers and Freo
Perrie - has been linked to both WA clubs
Mattner - also may be offered as trade bait for the right deal

Brisbane
C Wood- Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda and Collingwood have all shown interest
Sherman - has attracted interest from several clubs

Carlton
Kennedy - has been linked to the Judd deal
The Fav - well my mail is that he is shopping himself around

Collingwood
Didak - was linked to Adelaide, hard to seeing the Pies let him go after the big 3 has retired

Essendon
Ryder - the bombers may put up some of their young talls in order to secure some quality runners

Geelong
Tennance - has attracted very strong interest from Sydney
Blake or King - can the club keep them both, will Blake seek another club (D Kickett style) or will the club trade King to ensure Blake stays
Brent Prismall has drawn interest from several clubs
Tim Callan has been linked with a move to Western Bulldogs.
Matthew Spencer, Charlie Gardner and Henry Playfair may look for opportunities elsewhere.

Kanga's
Matt Campbell - has been linked to a move back home to SA

Melbourne
Brad Miller - has attracted interest from Sydney
Travis Johnstone - has been mentioned as possible trade bait

Sydney
Have declared no player is untouchable

WCE- Mitch Morton has requested to go to Richmond.

(May be slowly changing his mind because of the chance Cale may be picked up by WCE)

Ben McKinley- Melbourne boy who may want to go home.

Daniel Chick- Will be shopped around byt doubtful will get any takers other than in the PSD

Ashley Sampi- May get shopped around as well, but more likely to stay or get picked up through PSD.

Bode - more likely to be delisted rather than traded
Jericho - Carlton could be his next home

Tim Callan won Geelong VFL B&F, Charlie Gardiner finished runner up, while Henry Playfair, Tenace and Prismall all finished high in the voting

If these guys do go looking for opportunities, it will have an impact on the Cats depth for 2008, considering the clubs depth was not tested in 2007

heard today from a very very good local source

Sydney Swans are extremely keen on Mattner

if I was the Crows, I would look at Heath Grundy, he is a fantastic young forward, an SA boy, an all Aust u/18 player, who has been starved of opportunities because O'Keefe, Hall, Micky O and Davis

Mattner for Doyle I would take that anyday. Doyle isn't that good and he is very injury prone. Hopefully the Swans trade a bit this year and go for youth

Hopefully the Crows get Tiller from the Western Bulldogs, he has the potential to develop a lot further from where his game is at now. I am sure Westies fans wouldent mind having him back in S.A either!

I would not be surprised if the Crows have a second crack at Henry Playfair, the Crows made enquires last year, however, he was not available for trade

Prismall aint going anywhere. Don't care about the others. Now is the time to move a few of these and keep the draftees coming in. FWIW, I reckon Callan will definately go and perhaps one of Playfair or Gardiner will be delisted. I reckon David Johnson might get the arse as well.

I reckon Callan is a certainty to get a gig somewhere else (Most likely WB)

You confident in retaining Prismall REB? He will be highly sought after IMO.

Surprising to see Ryder listed by Syd Dog. The Bombers would be crazy to let him go with Fletcher and Mal Michael likely to be both gone in the next 3 years. Ryder impressed me this year in the Bomber's defence, and i think he could very well be the main man in Essendon's back line for a long time to come.

Justin Sherman had a terrible year and didn't look as though he even wanted to be out there half of the time, BUT he is a great young talent who will turn it all around. He was 2nd in their B&F last year and has a big future. I'm pretty sure he signed a 2 or 3 year deal at the end of 2006 too...

Sherman was a far cry from the player who burst onto the scene in 2006, but was that as a unknown quantity and now opposition players are more aware of his skill and how to stop him - can he bounce back??

Yes, you have to remember last year was only his second year in the system and he finished 2nd in the best and fairest. He has a clear passion for the game, neeeds to work on his fitness and spend more time in the middle and learn from the likes of Lappin, Black, Power and co before they finsh up. Is going to be a very good goal kicking midfielder in the years to come.

No way Brisbane will trade him IMO
