6AM - WHERE BIGGEST REMAINING DEALS SIT ENTERING MONDAY

The biggest name on the market remains Nick Blakey, with North Melbourne turning his head with a $12 million offer and now needing to convince Sydney to give up the dashing defender.

The Swans don't want to give up Blakey for a bargain price, despite his dissatisfaction with the club which is linked to the Pullman Hotel saga, given he's contracted for another five years.

The Kangaroos already offered their first pick (No.6) and a swap of late selections, which was denied, but they've reportedly asked Port Adelaide about what it'd take to land the up-for-grabs No.5 pick.

They can still use their future first-round picks in trades, having put their 2027 first on the table for Adelaide backman Nick Murray, but the Crows are yet to accept an offer involving the selection.

That No.5 pick, given to the Power as compensation for Zak Butters' exit in free agency, is most likely to land with Richmond as they're reportedly willing to offer a future first-round pick and their 2026 second-rounder (No.22).

The Tigers are after the top-five selection (which would become No.7 on draft night due to bids for Dougie Cochrane and Cody Walker) because this draft class is generally viewed to have a top tier of eight prospects, and next year's draft is heavily compromised by both Tasmania's entry and many club-tied prospects.

GWS wants a first-round pick for Lachie Whitfield but Carlton is thus far unwilling to give up more than pick 25 or 26 for the 32-year-old, who's contracted for one more year. An offer where 25 and 26 would've both gone in exchange for Whitfield plus either 28 or 31 was also rejected.

Melbourne is reportedly now offering pick 33 for North Melbourne's Zane Duursma, having acquired it in Friday's controversial mega-trade.

It may be enough to turn the Roos' head, after they rejected several early offers such as pick 48 or a future second-round pick, as they look to acquire assets to complete deals for Blakey and Murray.

Demons pair Jack Viney and Trent Rivers could head to West Coast together, with Steven King's side likely to request the Eagles' pick 23 as part of the deal, though of the pair Viney is more likely to move this year in what'd be a cheap deal.

Hawthorn pair Aidan Schubert and Sam Butler will get to Gold Coast, in a deal focused on the Suns' 2028 second-round pick, as a bargain side deal after they accepted free agency compensation for Ben King rather than forcing a trade.

Collingwood isn't willing to give up one of its first two picks, 11 and 30, for Richmond's Jayden Short and given a likely lack of spots on the Magpies' list they may struggle to get a deal done unless they move out others.

Other names like Luke Pedlar (Adelaide to Port Adelaide), Will McLachlan (Brisbane to Melbourne), Laitham Vandermeer (Bulldogs maybe to Essendon) and Keidean Coleman (Brisbane to TBC) are all lower on the priority list for their clubs.

The biggest names on the market without a clear destination are Collingwood's Jordan De Goey, who is reportedly seeking a three-year $3 million deal after his current contract ends but currently has no suitors, and Geelong's Gryan Miers, who has interest from Essendon after a year where he was at times frustrated with the Cats' handling of his ACL injury.
