The past 24 hours of the AFL trade landscape have been dominated by the speculation that surrounds contracted Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver.
The Demons are now said to be potentially open to a deal if the right offer arises, with clubs beginning to line up for the four-time best and fairest winner.
Free agents are also on the move, while a star Dog is continuing to gain interest from a Victorian rival.
Here's all the latest from the AFL trade news and rumours space...
Two clubs said to be keen on Clarry
Essendon and Adelaide have been identified as two clubs that are interested in contracted Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver in the wake of the speculation that has tied the star onballer to the exit.
Speaking on Trade Radio,ย Tom Morris revealed the two sides were showing some level of interest in Oliver, who is signed until the end of 2030.
Melbourne are said to be open to hearing offers for the 26-year-old but will only move Oliver on for the right deal.
While the Crows and Demons will sit down at some stage this trade period to discuss the future of wantaway forward Shane McAdam, 7News' Theo Doropolous has claimed Oliver's name could also enter the conversation.
As expressed by Doropolous on Twitter, Adelaide would likely be required to kick off conversations by offering pick 9, a future 1st, plus Shane McAdam to land Oliver.
The West Lakes club also holds picks 21 and 24 at the 2023 AFL Draft, as well as whatever they land as compensation for losing free agent Tom Doedee to Brisbane.

Eagle-eyed Giants seeks off-season shift
Backup Giants ruckย Matthew Flynnย has formally requested a move, alerting GWS to his desire to land at Lathlain and join West Coast.
Flynn'sย AFLย life may have begun after being selected with the 41st pick of the 2015 draft, however, the Narrandera native wouldn't make his league debut until Round 1 of the 2021 season.
However, following the ascent of fellow ruck Kieran Briggs in 2023, the 26-year-old was demoted back to his role as understudy, featuring just nine times duringย Adam Kingsley's first year as coach.
Out of contract at Tom Wills Oval, and unwilling to duke it out for the main job, Flynn requested a trade to the Eagles on Wednesday, as per reports from Riley Beveridge ofย AFLย Media.

Yet, as reported by Callum Twomey ofย AFL Media,ย an unspecified number of Victorian teams have raised interest in prising the 23-year-old loose during the exchange period.
