WITH just one week of the AFL trade period remaining, how many deals are left to be struck? Heath Shaw, Billy Longer and Stewart Crameri are all hoping to reach new homes by Friday.

ADELAIDE

THE Crows secured the early draft pick they desperately wanted when Melbourne parted with pick 23 for Adelaide club champion Bernie Vince. Brenton Sanderson still holds interest in Brisbane Lion Jared Polec, although the only realistic chance to snare the high draft pick is if the Lions and Power can't strike a deal, which seems unlikely. That would allow Adelaide to swoop in the pre-season draft. Beefed up their forward line with James Podsiadly and Eddie Betts, securing both for nix. The Crows could also lure GWS midfielder Shaun Edwards this week.

BRISBANE

BRISBANE'S hopes of keeping Billy Longer after his plans to get to Hawthorn fell apart have all but washed away with the young ruckman now keen to get to St Kilda. The Saints hold picks 24 and 25, with one of those expected to get the deal done in what will be a busy week for the Lions. They look set to part with halfback Sam Docherty for Carlton's pick 32, while they also need to come to terms with Port Adelaide over Jared Polec. The Lions also look likely to send Pat Karnezis into the pre-season draft, but in a slice of good news James Polkinghorne has backlipped and decided to stay at the Gabba. The talk is the Lions will secure pick 14 for Polec, with the Power shuffling back in the first round of the draft.

SCROLL DOWN TO JOIN IN THE TRADES CONVERSATION...

CARLTON

AFTER seemingly showing interest in every player on the market, it has been a quiet month for the Blues. Dale Thomas is in the bag as a free agent and Sam Docherty looks certain to join this week. Other than that there isn't a whole lot on the horizon. Josh Bootsma could still be traded to West Coast, but if a deal can't be struck he'll stay at Visy Park.

DRAFT PICKS: 13, 32, 33, 51, 69

COLLINGWOOD

THE Pies look certain to officially secure not only Jesse White, but the No. 6 draft pick when trade period reopens today. Now, for Taylor Adams. The Pies and Giants are poles apart on the Adams-Shaw deal, with GWS wanting to switch picks as well as players as a sweetner and Collingwood wanting a straight swap only. Who will blink first?

DRAFT PICKS: 10, 11, 31, 49, 67

FREE AGENCY DANGEROUS: PERT

ESSENDON

PAUL Chapman will play for the Bombers next year in a big coup considering they're currently out of the draft until pick 48. And while Essendon flagged interest in Billy Longer, he's headed to the Saints. The Dons look set to offload Scott Gumbleton to Fremantle and Stewart Crameri to the Western Bulldogs, most likely for picks 55 and 26 respectively. The Crameri deal hit a roadblock from the get-go, but with the Dogs able to secure him for free in the pre-season draft a deal should be struck this week.

FREMANTLE

THE Dockers look set to add a No. 2 draft pick in Scott Gumbleton to the No. 3 draft pick (Colin Sylvia) they picked up earlier this month. And it shouldn't cost much, with pick 55 tipped as their offer to the Bombers for the out-of-contract forward. They parted with Viv Michie for pick 58 and while there hasn't been much talk east, Josh Mellington could also find a new home this week.

DRAFT PICKS: 17, 37, 55, 58, 73

GEELONG

SHOWED interest in Heath Shaw and Taylor Adams but likely to miss out on both. Won't receive any compensation for James Podsiadly or Paul Chapman, while Joel Corey retired with typically little fanfare for a champion of his standing. Ruckman Trent West could be on the move this week.

GOLD COAST

A QUIET month for the Suns. Expect them to take picks 5, 20 and 27 to the bank and grow their nestling talent pool. They've already secured Jack Martin, who is eligible next year, while they could trade picks to help Jared Polec get to the Power.

DRAFT PICKS: 5, 20, 27, 44, 61

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

AGAIN one of the mega players. Sent Dom Tyson to Melbourne along with pick 9, but picked up pick 2 and 22 in the process to go alongside pick 1 (Tom Boyd) in the third-straight draft they'll dominate. Missed out on Buddy but won over Heath Shaw. Now, to get a deal done with the Pies for the rebounding halfback, which will also see Taylor Adams join Nathan Buckley's side. Could lose Josh Bruce for nothing if he walks to St Kilda in the pre-season draft given the Saints are baulking at a deal that would see GWS pick up Sam Fisher.

DRAFT PICKS: 1. 2. 21. 22

HAWTHORN

THEY'VE done it again. Last year it was Brian Lake who signed with Hawthorn before going on to win a premiership and Norm Smith medal. This time around it was Ben McEvoy who crossed from St Kilda to Hawthorn following Hawk Max Bailey's retirement. Shane Savage parted ways with Hawthorn as part of the McEvoy deal. Received just pick 19 as compensation for Buddy Franklin, infuriating chief executive Stuart Fox.

MELBOURNE

SHOOK things up on Friday, paying good to talk pick 2 was off the table. The Dees are trumpeting they've effectively got three top-10 picks given they now hold No. 9 and have secured Dom Tyson (a No. 3 pick from GWS) and Jesse Hogan (taken in last year's mini-draft). Effectively switched Colin Sylvia for Bernie Vince, acquiring the Crow for the departed Dee's compensation pick.

NORTH MELBOURNEAFTER a drawn-out process the Roos got their man in Nick Dal Santo - and for nothing. He signed on as a free agent, while the Kangas also locked away father-son gem Luke McDonald for the price of pick 8 in next month's draft. Will send Luke Delaney to the Saints this week for nothing more than a very late pick.

DRAFT PICKS:

8 (McDonald), 30, 47, 65

PORT ADELAIDE

STILL need to wrangle a deal to secure Lion Jared Polec, although that is odds on to happen this week. Likely to cough up pick 14 and slide down the first-round order to No. 18 or 20 in exchange for the talented midfielder. Opened proceedings by signing speedy Tiger Matt White for nothing.

DRAFT PICKS: 14, 34, 52, 70

RICHMOND

THE cue looks just about to be in the rack for the Tigers. Matt White signed at Alberton but Richmond secured Shaun Hampson for pick 32 and held onto Dusty Martin after his much-publicised contract negotiations.

DRAFT PICKS: 12, 50, 68

ST KILDA

THE Saints caught us all by surprise off-loading No.1 ruckman and future captain Ben McEvoy for Hawk Shane Savage and an exchange of picks. They then let Nick Dal Santo go as a free agent, receiving pick 25 as compensation for the durable and classy midfielder. Looks set to gain young ruckman Billy Longer, possible for that Dal Santo pick, and will acquire Luke Delaney for next to nothing from North Melbourne. Also wants Josh Bruce and could yet land him in the pre-season draft with talks with GWS hitting snags. Haven't ruled out taking Darren Jolly as an insurance ruckman.

SYDNEY

LANDED the megastar in Buddy Franklin to kick off the exchange period. Did OK landing pick 39 for Shane Mumford when they could've got nothing for him and will offload Jesse White today for a late second-rounder. Andrejs Everitt could also be on the move with GWS and St Kilda leading the charge, while Tony Armstrong won't be part of the White deal.

DRAFT PICKS: 15, 35, 39, 53, 71

WEST COAST

XAVIER Ellis is now an Eagle and Elliot Yeo looks headed west after the Eagles agreed to  swap pick 6 for 11 and 31 with the latter set to secure the Lion. Expect the Eagles to draft Dom Sheed at pick 11, the man they also liked at 6, which would mean paying effectively nil for Yeo.

DRAFT PICKS: 6, 28, 43, 62

WESTERN BULLDOGS

SHOWED strong interest in Sam Docherty but are set to miss out with the No. 12 pick set to join Carlton from the Lions. Haven't struck a trade for Stewie Crameri yet, but all the power is with the Dogs. If the Dons, who have been kicked out of the first two rounds of the draft, don't want pick 26 then Crameri can join Whitten Oval through the pre-season draft. That looks long odds, with a trade expected to be struck this week.

DRAFT PICKS: 4, 26, 42, 60
