Melbourne would entertain the prospect of trading both picks two and three for gun Adelaide onballer Patrick Dangerfield.

Speaking on AFL Trade Radio, Demons football manager Josh Mahoney flagged the move should the club obtain pick three for key position utility James Frawley, who is set to depart as an unrestricted free agent. Geelong and Hawthorn are amongst the frontrunners to obtain Frawley.

Melbourne already has pick two as a result of its 17th-placed finish in 2014.

Mahoney indicated Melbourne was very hopeful of obtaining both picks two and three, which the Demons would be willing to part ways with in order to obtain Dangerfield, who finished equal fifth in this year's Brownlow medal.
