Hawthorn has traded in Pick 22 in a bid to help land Essendon's Zach Merrett after completing a pick swap with Carlton.
The Hawks traded out Pick 9, 31, 42 and 43 (James Worpel compensation) for the Blues' Pick 10 and 22 (Jack Silvagni compensation).
The Bombers are likely to receive a revived offer for Merrett from Hawthorn, which would revolve around Picks 10 and 22, as well as the club's future first-round selection.
The Pick 42 came from Melbourne, which secured Changkuoth Jiath via a trade. The Hawthorn speedster signed a three-year deal at the Demons.
Trade approved.

It is understood that Carlton will use their new selections in its pursuit of Western Bulldogs defender Buku Khamis.
The Blues have also accumulated more draft picks to ensure they lock away top draft and father-son prospect Harry Dean.
The 2025 trade period ends on Wednesday at 7:30pm (AEDT).
