With the AFL mid-season draft fast approaching, the idea of a trade period to match has been suggested by CEO Gillon McLachlan for the league's future.
If a mid-season trade-period was to be implemented into the 2019 season, there would be a few names circling the trade block and here's who might just be making a move mid-year.
Bailey Williams (Western Bulldogs)
Potential suitors: Carlton, Gold Coast, Sydney
Williams is another option who has fallen out of a consistent role at one club and could walk into one at another. A tough, pacey runner off half-back who becomes a threat the second his side are back on the ball.
Luke Beveridge has had an experimental season with his back-line in 2019, with the likes of Caleb Daniel, Hayden Crozier and Lewis Young all finding roles for the Bulldogs in defence, lowering Williams' chances of selection.
Aging half-backs Kade Simpson and Jarrod Harbrow will soon need cover having hit the last hurdles of their career and Heath Grundy's retirement has opened up the Swans' back-line availability, meaning there are spots for Williams throughout the league.
The Bulldogs won't be looking to give Williams up for steak knives though, with Matt Suckling also facing the twilight of his career. A late second/early third round pick might just entice the Dogs into a deal.
