Players who feature on the trade table club by club
Players in bold, maybe we should consider.
Adelaide
Phil Davis is already off to the Giants while Bernie Vince and Taylor Walker were considered chances to leave but have re-committed to the club. Ivan Maric has been linked with Richmond's hunt for a ruckman and has put off contract talks until the end of the year.
Brisbane Lions
The Lions have managed to hang on to most of their young stars and with Luke Power and Brendan Fevola's departure from the club they have salary cap space. But a question mark continues to hover over Mitch Clark, who has been linked to GWS, Richmond and the two West Australian clubs.
Carlton
Shaun Hampson finds himself behind Rob Warnock and Matthew Kreuzer in the ruck pecking order and might field an offer or two. As with all ruckmen, Richmond looks a possible future home.
Collingwood
The Magpies' list management will be interesting, as Nathan Buckley might have a different view of some players than Mick Malthouse. Chris Dawes is out of contract at the end of the season and is understood to be in the sights of several clubs. John McCarthy has been on the fringe of the team for a while and could attract interest.
Essendon
Scott Gumbleton has come to the end of a fifth injury-riddled season and the Bombers' patience may be wearing thin. With Michael Hurley and Jake Carlilse developing up forward and ruckmen Patrick Ryder and David Hille alternating in attack, Gumbleton might find it hard to become a regular. He has one more year to go on his contract but if the right offer comes it could be beneficial for all parties. Ricky Dyson has been strongly linked with the Giants.
Fremantle
Zac Clarke falls in to the category of back-up ruckmen who could find greater opportunities at Punt Road. Rhys Palmer has been firmly linked with GWS all season long.
Geelong
Mark Blake is almost certain to leave Kardinia Park after failing to play a game all season. There is sure to be interest in other ruckmen Dawson Simpson and Trent West who have slipped behind Nathan Vardy.
Gold Coast
It's doubtful they would unwillingly lose someone after season one, but you never know what Scott Clayton might have up his sleeve. The Suns have a raft of players aged 18-20 most other clubs would give plenty for.
Hawthorn
Jordan Lisle has played just four games and has been named an emergency for most of the other matches this year and could be tempted by greener pastures.
So again, size plus lack of opportunity equals Richmond potential. Rick Ladson is no longer in the Hawks' best 22 and may be shopped around.
Melbourne
No player has had more scrutiny on his potential 2012 home than Tom Scully. He remains yet to commit to the Demons but many have accepted that he will be leading the GWS midfield next season. Stefan Martin's improvement this year also seems to have rival clubs interested while Colin Sylvia's axing from the side several weeks ago raised eyebrows.
North Melbourne
Hamish McIntosh has been superseded by Todd Goldstein as the No. 1 ruckman and will play his first match for 2011 this weekend. The Kangaroos have said he is a required player but they should at least entertain the offers that are sure to come their way. Richmond has been touted as a potential home, believe it or not.
Port Adelaide
They've re-signed Carlile and Trengove, along with Andrew Moore and Justin Westhoff, but Butcher remains out of contract and is likely to attract great interest from opposition clubs. His value increases with every game he plays and his signature will be prized by the Power. Danyle Pearce has also been linked to GWS.
Richmond
Kelvin Moore has had a nightmare run with injury this year and hasn't played a match after finishing in the top 10 of the club's best and fairest in 2009. Clubs are always on the lookout for tall defenders and there might be a nibble or two for Moore.
St Kilda
Brendon Goddard has been linked to GWS, but if that does happen it wouldn't be until the end of 2012 when his current contract expires - unless, of course, the Saints jump the gun and try to orchestrate a trade, which is unlikely.
Sydney Swans
Jesse White has struggled to hold down his position in the forward line and may attract some interest for clubs keen to find a tall forward/ruck.
West Coast
Bradd Dalziell has played some quality football at WAFL level but has only had one outing for the Eagles this season. He may look to further his career elsewhere from 2012.
Western Bulldogs
It seems almost a forgone conclusion that Callan Ward will be at GWS next season while Rodney Eade's departure casts further doubt on Brian Lake's future. He has a hefty contract and a terrible run with injury, which doesn't help.
