MELBOURNE and Greater Western Sydney agreed to a straight swap of players on Wednesday, with midfielder Ashleigh Guest heading home to Victoria and midfielder/defender Pepa Randall moving north to Sydney.

Guest previously played for Melbourne in the AFL women's series exhibition matches before the establishment of the NAB AFL Women's competition, and also worked for the club.

"I'm rapt to be coming back to Melbourne and I'm rapt I'm back at the Dees," the 27-year-old Guest told melbournefc.com.au.

"I told my manager I was interested in moving home and she went out and approached the clubs and got back to me with who was interested. It was a no-brainer when I found out (about Melbourne)."

The Giants have had a busy few days, trading for the 21-year-old Randall, Collingwood's Alicia Eva in a three-club deal on Tuesday, and re-signing best and fairest Jessica Dal Pos, Nicola Barr, Rebecca Beeson, Renee Forth, Alex Saundry and Emma Swanson on Wednesday.

The Brisbane Lions confirmed Kaitlyn Ashmore had also agreed to stay. The 25-year-old former javelin thrower from Victoria enjoyed a stellar season for the Lions, using her running prowess and neat foot skills to advantage mainly across half-forward.

The NAB AFLW trade period ends on Friday, with a free agency signing period to follow.
