Trade period day one as it happened: Taranto a Tiger, Hill joins Collingwood, North play hard ball on Horne-Francis

In response, the Power stated that youngsters Zak Butters, Xavier Duursma, Josh Sinn and Miles Bergman would not be involved in a trade, but Riley Bonner is open to a move.

And while Adelaide are a chance to snare Horne-Francis, given they are the other SA team, they’ve insisted their focus is on securing Gold Coast forward Izak Rankine, which will almost certainly cost them pick No.5.

Meanwhile, Collingwood expect Brodie Grundy to wind up at Melbourne eventually, and after recently denying Brownlow Medalist Tom Mitchell was gettable, the Hawks say they’re “open” to trading him to the Pies.

Elsewhere, Fremantle have poured cold water on Rory Lobb’s desire to be traded to the Western Bulldogs, North reaffirmed their interest in St Kilda’s Hunter Clark and Liam Jones is set to return to Whitten Oval.

And in some good news for Carlton and Sydney, star duo Harry McKay and Jake Lloyd have shunned free agency and re-signed with their respective clubs.

Essendon, Geelong and Hawthorn remain interested in Gold Coast’s Jack Bowes “salary dump” offer which would also include pick No.7.

That’s it from us this evening, be sure to tune in tomorrow morning when we do it all again for day two of the trade period.

“I have a lot of friends and people at the Giants who have supported me through a very difficult period of my life, I thank the club for their overarching support and care they gave me and my family.

“Those who know me understand that Collingwood is the right place for me to take my career. There is a special dynamic with this group, and I am really looking forward to meeting the boys and being guided by [coach] Craig [McRae] and his coaching side.”
