Thought it might be handy to have a thread where all the trade rumours/thoughts can get collected to keep track of them all.

So right now we're looking at:

Adelaide

Rory Atkins - will be a Sun next year (CONFIRMED)
Brad Crouch - RFA, wants to move to St Kilda
Kyle Hartigan - Hawthorn bound (with Smith going he'll be traded rather than move as a UFA)
Daniel Talia - contracted but has a minor link to Essendon, seems unlikely now with Hartigan leaving

Brisbane Lions

Alex Witherden - contracted and no real links thus far, but out of the Best 22 and might be expendale if the Treloar rumours have legs/Daniher deal gets difficult. (with the Daniher deal done smoothly and Treloar unlikely to head to Queensland he will likely stay)
Cedric Cox - requested trade to WA club

Carlton

Jack Silvagni - contracted but out of favour, talks suggest he'll go
Matt Kennedy - still out of contract, no real links just yet but club doesn't seem in a hurry to re-sign him.

Collingwood

Jordan De Goey - still out of contract; more likely to stay than go and no major link just yet (will extend his contract for an extra two years)
Brody Mihocek - apparently close to signing a new deal but Fremantle were supposed to be keen and with Hogan's future there in doubt he might be the answer?
Tom Phillips - thrown up as potential bait for salary cap space
Adam Treloar - keen to stay and in contract but his wife is planning to move to Queensland for next season and Collingwood seem keen to move his contract on.
Jamie Elliott - still in contract but was thrown around as potential salary cap space bait
Jaidyn Stephenson - see Elliott, furthermore it doesn't seem to be working for him at Collingwood recently
Matthew Scharenberg - already delisted, but linked to a return to Adelaide
Max Lynch - still out of contract, no real links but could appeal to a club needing a ruckman
Mason Cox - in contract but linked to Western Bulldogs and Sydney

Essendon

Joe Daniher - wants to move to Brisbane (CONFIRMED)
Adam Saad - wants a trade to Carlton
Orazio Fantasia - wants a move to South Australia; he's keener on Port but Adelaide seem more interested; also still in contract (seems more set on a Port move now)
Zach Merrett - in contract but reports suggests he's unsettled and keen on a move Will stay for 2021.
Devon Smith - in contract but reported that he's unsettled and may look elsewhere
Brayden Ham - yet to re-sign, apparently has accumulated a bit of interest
Martin Gleeson - free agent; yet to re-sign and was apparently considering his options a while back
Jayden Laverde - yet to re-sign, no real links yet but would appeal to other clubs
Shaun McKernan - delisted, under consideration as a DFA signing with St Kilda

Fremantle

Jesse Hogan - still in contract but suggestions he's trade bait. Sydney has asked the question (now linked to Richmond + GWS as well, apparently Fremantle want him out)
Connor Blakely - still in contract but confirmed trade bait
Lachie Schultz - still waiting on a new deal, North Melbourne apparently interested
Brett Bewley - out of contract and may appeal to other clubs

Geelong

Jordan Clark - still in contract but the WA clubs have asked the question and might be bait to get some of their targets, can't get games and wants to play senior footy.
Quinton Narkle - out of contract and wants game time. Linked to a variety of different clubs both in WA and in Victoria
Charlie Constable - in contract but wants game time and Geelong aren't giving it to him. No current interest yet, though
Nakia Cockatoo - set to move to Brisbane
Darcy Fort - out of contract, may appeal to a club needing a ruck
Brandan Parfitt - out of contract, likely to re-sign but GWS want him as part of the Cameron deal
Esava Ratagolea - linked to GWS as part of the Cameron deal
Sam Menegola - linked to a potential exit with

Gold Coast

Will Brodie - in contract but can't get game time and Gold Coast seem keen to move on his salary
Peter Wright - as above. Probably more point in Gold Coast keeping him but also might garner more interest.
Wil Powell - in contract but a few clubs have asked the question (North Melbourne perhaps the strongest link)

Greater Western Sydney

Aidan Corr - will move to the Roos (CONFIRMED)
Zac Williams - RFA, wants to head to Carlton (CONFIRMED)
Jeremy Cameron - RFA, wants to head to Geelong (GWS have since matched, now over to Geelong to trade for him)
Jackson Hately - wants a trade to Adelaide
Zac Langdon - wants a trade to West Coast
Jye Caldwell - wants a trade to Victoria, supposedly the winner is Essendon
Xavier O'Halloran - out of contract, some moderate links to clubs like Essendon and the Doggies.
Tim Taranto - linked to the Saints, but management have denied he wants to go

Hawthorn

Isaac Smith - UFA, weighing up a move to Melbourne and Geelong have asked the question too (has since signed with Geelong)
Jack Gunston - in contract and Hawthorn want to keep him, but Collingwood are very keen and

Melbourne

Brayden Preuss - wants a trade to GWS
Mitch Hannan - wants a trade to the Western Bulldogs
Tom McDonald - contracted but has had a very large salary and hasn't justified it for the last couple of years, Melbourne want to move on at least part of it. GWS apparently semi-keen.
Oscar McDonald - out of contract, Melbourne unlikely to keep
Neville Jetta - contracted but linked to Collingwood
Clayton Oliver - rumoured to be unhappy at Melbourne, Carlton interested but still contracted and management has denied he wants out
Angus Brayshaw - contracted but hasn't got enough game time in his best position and large chunks of his family is based in WA
Jayden Hunt - out of contract and in and out of the team, pace may appeal to other clubs
Kyle Dunkley - DFA, may be thrown a lifeline by Essendon to get his brother to the club

North Melbourne

Ben Brown - out of contract and relationships here have seemingly broken down; has done a medical with Melbourne (now close to nominating Melbourne as club of choice)
Shaun Higgins - in contract but wants success and Geelong are very keen
Jared Polec - in contract but was in and out of the side this year and is on a hefty penny. No real links though and with Shaw stepping down it seems unlikely he'll go
Todd Goldstein - in contract but talk of being moved on to supplement a rebuild
Robbie Tarrant - ditto
Jed Anderson - was apparently close to re-signing a few weeks back but nothing concrete and the more it drags on.....

Port Adelaide

Ollie Wines - in contract and probably staying but still has significant interest from other clubs
Riley Bonner - in contract but thrown up as potential Aliir/Fantasia bait
Sam Hayes - in contract but thrown up as potential Aliir bait
Peter Ladhams - ditto (both will stay with Aliir no longer coming)

Richmond

Oleg Markov - out of contract, Gold Coast apparently very interested (has since requested a trade to the Suns)
Nathan Broad - out of contract, had a link to the Suns but they've apparently cooled, may still appeal to clubs if they can't afford to keep him (has since re-signed with Richmond)
Marlion Pickett - out of contract, he's also an old rookie and not originally from Victoria so may chase a big pay packet that Richmond can't give. Some links to Fremantle (has since re-signed with Richmond)
Jack Higgins - in contract but in and out of the team and has upside has been thrown up as trade bait (set to leave, St Kilda apparently his new home)
Sydney Stack - in contract but has had off-field problems, may be let go following scandal
Callum Coleman-Jones - as above

St Kilda

Ben Paton - close to resigning but not officially confirmed yet, Essendon are keen (has since re-signed for two more years)
Jack Lonie - still yet to re-sign, has had a couple of weak links so far (with Higgins joining he seems unlikely to stay)
Patrick McCartin - not currently contracted to St Kilda but wants a comeback and a few clubs have been keen on offering him one - Sydney perhaps the strongest link
Shane Savage - out of contract and not Best 22, may still appeal to someone needing silk
Ed Phillips - out of contract and in and out of the team, has garned some other club appeal
Luke Dunstan - in contract but can't get games and as a SA native might appeal as bait for Crouch if Adelaide match the offer
Jimmy Webster - reports suggest he's likely steak knives for Crouch
Sebastian Ross - in contract but somewhat out of favour, Essendon seem interested
Nick Hind - out of contract, has been linked to Essendon

Sydney

Ben Ronke - out of contract and unlikely to be re-signed, Dogs were keen but does Hannan moving there change things?
Aliir Aliir - in contract but Port have shown interest (Sydney unwilling to deal unless they can get a ruck in return, the rumour has effectively been defused)

West Coast

Jarrod Brander - in contract but in and out of their Best 22 and other clubs are keen (will likely stay now)
Tom Hickey - in contract but Sydney have asked the question and with him out of their Best 22 might appeal to clubs needing another ruck
Nathan Vardy - out of contract and might appeal to clubs needing another ruck

Western Bulldogs

Josh Dunkley - in contract but Essendon very keen wants a trade to Essendon
Lachie Young - will move to North Melbourne

Did I miss anyone? I'm being quite generous as I count anyone who has any kind of link at all that hasn't been 110% defused or are out of contract and would appeal to an opposition club.

We were previously interested in Jack Lonie and Toby Bedford, however we seemed to have cooled on them just before the Mitch Hannan trade request.

A couple of names with rumoured North Melbourne interest are Will Powell from Gold Coast and Lachie Schultz from Fremantle.

Careful, you'll put a 'journalist' out of a job with such a summary.
The AFL summary this morning looked very similar to your post in name and content :smiley:

Interesting to look at these and see what happened and what didn't. Looks like most of it got done really, always a few left hanging I suppose especially with list sizes coming down so there are less opportunities.
