If you couldn't get enough of last Thursday's trade deadline, you'll be pleased to hear that the AFL are strongly considering the idea of extending the trade period by more than a month up until AFL draft night. 

Under a major change that has been proposed to AFL clubs, the league is looking to introduce the ability for clubs to trade picks during the draft as well as the potential for players in the draft to be traded on the night. 

The new concept would still confine AFL listed players to be traded within the current regular period - which lasted 11 days this season - before clubs would still maintain the ability to improve their draft position if they desired. 

AFL.com.au confirmed that a multitude of options have been discussed in relation to the trade period as the code continues to adopt American-style legislations. 

"Once the whole trade, free agency and draft period is over for this year the player movement working group will chat about all the options," AFL spokesperson Patrick Keane said.

"It has been floated but we've had no detailed discussion on it."

A number of club personnel have publicly backed the idea of draft night trading in recent days with the idea garnering almost unanimous support from list and recruiting managers across the league. 

The idea could prove to be a major change as there would be more flexibility for clubs depending on whether a prospective draftees stocks were rising or dropping as draft night nears.
