Fremantle list manager Brad Lloyd says the club’s top draft pick – currently No.5 overall – is off the table during the trade period.

The 11-day exchange period opened this morning, with Lloyd set to meet Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast representatives in Melbourne over targets Nathan Wilson and Brandon Matera respectively.

He was confident the Dockers could get deals done for both players, despite not currently owning a second-round draft pick to use in a swap.

But Lloyd said contracted Melbourne key forward Jesse Hogan had not requested to be traded to Fremantle and was unlikely to end up there.

Lloyd also dismissed reports the Dockers were interested in out-of-favour Geelong forward Daniel Menzel.

Fremantle are open to trading homesick Victorian Harley Balic and Hayden Crozier, who has an offer on the table from the Western Bulldogs.

"Harley's someone who would like to get back to Victoria, so we'll catch up with Melbourne. We didn't catch them today but we'll catch up at some stage," Lloyd said.

But Lloyd said the Dockers would not consider offloading their top draft pick, saying recruiting high-end young talent was integral to the rebuilding club’s list strategy.

“We wouldn’t give it up. We think it’s a great pick in there (and we) really like the top end of the draft,” Lloyd told Trade Radio.

“There are some quality players in there from one through to five in particular.

“Any one of those players at the top end we’ll see some real quality, so we’re looking forward to that pick.”

Lloyd confirmed the Dockers’ intentions to bring in both Wilson and Matera.

“Nathan advised GWS a little while back that he was interested in getting back to Perth for some family reasons … (and) GWS has seemed reasonably open to working with us on that, so that’s a good start,” Lloyd said.

“Brandon is someone we’d look to bring into the footy club. He’s a small forward that can add a bit, so we’ll work through that today.

“He had a pretty good start to this year. In his first 10 games he kicked 20 goals or so, but then had a bit of a foot injury to finish off the rest of his year.”

The Sunday Times reported Hogan had met Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe in Perth last week, however, it does not appear the pair will be playing in the same team any time soon.

“Jesse’s obviously a quality young West Australian player, but he’s also a contracted Melbourne player,” Lloyd said.

“When it comes to players from other clubs, a player has to declare he wants to get to your club and his club needs to want to be prepared to trade him, and none of those things have happened.”

Asked specifically if Hogan had requested a move to Fremantle, Lloyd said: “No, not at all.”
