THE NAB AFL Trade Period might not start until next Monday but there's already plenty of chatter about which players will be moving.

The free agency period is a little closer – it begins on Friday – and AFL.com.au's Trade Winds will provide a round-up of the latest action each morning until the end of the NAB AFL Trade Period on Wednesday, October 17.

St Kilda's huge offer for GWS jet

The Saints have thrown the kitchen sink at Dylan Shiel, offering him $8 million over six years in a bid to convince the Victorian to make the switch from the Giants, AFL.com.au's Damian Barrett says.

WHEN DOES TRADE PERIOD START? All the key dates

Barrett broke the story on Channel Nine's The Trade Table.

Shiel, 25, has met with opposition clubs, having received blessing from the Giants to do so despite being contracted until the end of 2019.



St Kilda is desperate to improve after winning just four matches and drawing once this year.

Brisbane to nab Bulldog backman?

Collingwood's bid to lure Marcus Adams is set to fail, with Brisbane expected to lure the key defender on a four-year deal, The Australian says.

The Pies had been looking at Adams to bolster their backline.

Adams, 25, is contracted until the end of 2020 but the West Australian is set to leave the Kennel after three injury-ravaged seasons.

The Lions will lose Sam Mayes to a South Australian club, according to the report.

Hogan won't come cheap

Melbourne is demanding two first-round selections if it is to give up star forward Jesse Hogan, the Herald Sun reports.

Hogan is contracted until the end of 2019, and is reportedly set to earn $900,000 next season.

Fremantle is a known suitor for the West Australian.

The Dockers hold No.5 in the looming NAB AFL Draft and could land an early pick from Brisbane if midfielder Lachie Neale negotiates a trade there.

A sway of picks could put the Dees in the box seat to land gun Gold Coast defender Steven May.

WHO'S LEAVING YOUR CLUB? All the latest retirements and delistings

Hogan, 23, has averaged more than two goals per match throughout his 71-game career.

Carlton backman done

Irish defender Ciaran Byrne is homesick and won't be coming back to the Blues, according to NAB AFL Trade Radio.

The 23-year-old recently played a game of Gaelic football for his local team St Mochta and reportedly won't fulfil his contract, which lasts until the end of 2019.

He played 22 games in his career.

Injury-ravaged Pie to stay

Talented forward Jamie Elliott is set to sign a one-year deal with Collingwood, according to The Age.

Hamstring injuries crippled Elliott this season and he didn't take to the park for an AFL game in 2018.

This move confirms a deal that had been pending for some time.
