It is the end of an era at Melbourne.

The focal points of its drought-breaking premiership are soon to be in new colours, with deals for Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver set to be confirmed in the coming days.

The premiership duo are expected to join Gold Coast and GWS before the trade deadline on Wednesday.

But with lucrative and long-term deals they signed shortly after their brilliance in 2021, what are they worth?

What will new coach Steven King be equipped with?

Petracca is deemed the more valuable commodity, and the Suns are well aware of needing to stump up a hefty price, to the point where they ended their interest in Carlton's Charlie Curnow.

The deal that saw Sam Flanders join St Kilda landed Gold Coast Pick 7, which has always been central to a Petracca trade.

The Suns also have Pick 8 (received from Port Adelaide in 2024).

According to Tom Morris, that should get the deal done.

But the Oliver discussions surprisingly have more intrigue.

It has been reported that the Demons are willing to contribute as much as $700,000 per season, in order to expedite trade discussions.

Oliver holds a contract until the end of 2030, but has been informed to explore his options, with the Giants winning the race for his services.

"The more Melbourne pays, the better pick they expect," Morris said on AFL Trade Radio.

"They might be able to get Pick 35 or 37 off GWS, but I think it's very likely Clayton Oliver gets to the Giants for a future third rounder."

After their dealings with Essendon in 2024, the Demons currently don't hold a first-round pick.

Melbourne's draft hand begins with Pick 24, and is followed by 28, 42, 66 and 71.

They also welcomed Max Heath and Brody Mihocek via trade, while Charlie Spargo (North Melbourne) and Judd McVee (Fremantle) found new homes.
