Melbourne is talking with the management of Rising Star winner and premiership big man Luke Jackson with the Demons categorically denying they have had any talks with Fremantle about the WA native.
Jackson is out of contract at the end of season 2022 and Melbourne wants him to extend his stay with the former Australian under-17 basketballer developing faster than many expected culminating in his ruck work in the grand final helping to turn the game to the Demons in the third term.

Demons list manager Tim Lamb shot down any suggestion they had talked with the Dockers about Jackson.
“At no time, has there ever been a conversation internally, or with Fremantle, about Luke Jackson,†Lamb told AFL trade radio.
“I can categorically say that has never occurred.
“He’s out of contract at the end of next season, we’re talking with his manager and happy with where it sits.â€
Collingwood football general manager Graham Wright isn’t exactly sure what draft pick will seal the deal with Western Bulldogs to bring Patrick Lipinski to his club.
But he hopes a deal can get done before trade period closes.
“We don’t have any clarity on where the deal for Patrick Lipinski sits with the Bulldogs. You’d like to think it gets done,†Wright told AFL trade radio on Friday.
“The pre-season draft is always there, but I’ve never done that before. It’s part of what could happen but there is some goodwill between the two sides.â€
Clubs are well aware of Hawthorn’s willingness to discuss any offers for their midfielders Tom Mitchell, Jaeger O’Meara and Chad Wingard if they can get higher into the draft.
But, at this stage, few doors are open as there is little liquidity in the football economy and very few clubs have high picks.

The Dockers are one of the few clubs with both cap space and early picks but it would need a turnaround in their thinking for them to move.
The Hawks are genuinely interested in Collingwood ruckman Max Lynch but there remains some water to go under the bridge before meaningful discussions start.
The AFL draft order is still moving around as teams potentially trade picks and compensation selections are added to the board but here is our presumptive AFL draft order.
You can see how the picks stack up in order or break it down team by team and see which selections your club has.
The AFL draft is set for November 24-25.
There are a few players that are still reportedly available or looking to make a move but updates on talks have gone a bit quiet.
Richmond big man Callum Coleman-Jones and his move to North Melbourne was much talked about on opening day of trade period but both sides were a distance apart in terms of what the Roos should be sending to the Tigers for his services.

It will be interesting to hear if things have improved or if those talks will go into next week.
Hawthorn’s Jon Ceglar and Port Adelaide’s Peter Ladhams are two players who are continually being brought up and both look set to leave their clubs but it doesn’t appear deals have been finalised yet.
Ceglar looks to be a good fit for the Bulldogs or Cats if they can find the right deal while Ladhams looks a chance to move to Sydney who have followed him closely.
He could be a good back-up to ruckman Tom Hickey.
There were so many deals made yesterday that perhaps today could be a catch-up day with few deals completed, time will tell on that one.
Essendon, yet to make a trade during this trade period, are keen to acquire an additional first-round draft choice for 2021, in a strategy that Melbourne successfully deployed in recent years.
AFL industry sources confirmed that the Bombers, who enter the draft with pick 11, but no further choices inside 50, are willing to trade their 2022 first-round pick for a first-rounder in the 2021 national draft, to be held in late November. If no club is willing to do a first-round swap, there is also the possibility of trading in second-round choices.

The logic behind trading the 2022 pick for one this year would be to create a cluster of players who come through together, a pattern that Melbourne followed when the Demons traded future first-round choices into the upcoming draft in 2015, 2019 and 2020.

Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has thrown the cat among the trade pigeons by warning club members the team may ’surprise them with moves during trade period.
Ruckman Jon Ceglar has been a feature of discussions all trade period but rumours have persisted that the Hawks might trade some of their veterans if the right offer appears.

“We may be surprised at some of the (trade/draft) decisions made but be assured they will be made after careful consideration of the club’s future needs by those we charge to make such decisions,†Kennett wrote to members yesterday.
He has also been doing some media rounds today and he told SEN 1116 this morning that it would take other clubs coming to the Hawks for deals to begin.
“As I understand it, and I’m not fully across it but do speak to my people, we’ve offered no-one up,†Kennett told SEN.
“I hope they all remain at the club and expect them to, but I’m not sure - I don’t know what other clubs might do, or approach our team.“
The likes of Tom Mitchell, Jaegar O’Meara and Jack Gunston have been talked about on AFL trade radio as players other teams could covet but Kennett said, for now, the club wants to keep its veterans.
“The players that have been mentioned in the media have said they want to stay,†Kennett told SEN.
“They’ve seen our experience and the potential of our younger players.
“That’s not to say there won’t be a change or two before the trade period is over that will surprise some of us.â€
In the latest trade special episode of the Real Footy podcast, Jake Niall and Peter Ryan discuss the deals that were done on day four, including Adam Cerra to Carlton, and some of the other potential moves that are bubbling away as we reach the midpoint of trade period.
We discuss where Fremantle stand after their moves, how this ranks among Carlton’s deals in recent years and the details of Cerra’s deal, and look at how well the Eagles did in landing Sam Petrevski-Seton.
We hear about Essendon’s hope that they can trade for another pick in the first round of this year’s draft, a “cluster-pluck†strategy in the mould of the Demons, and GWS’ interest in bringing back Rory Lobb, the former Giant who has been with the Dockers for the last three years.
Plus, the Pies’ “draft debt,†what Trent Dumont’s AFL future holds, the trade that could come through at the last minute, where the Jordan Clark discussions sit and much more.
Yesterday afternoon it seemed Fremantle big man/forward Rory Lobb looked to be speeding towards a move back to GWS Giants with trade talks expected to happen today.
But Fremantle football manager Peter Bell told radio show SportsDay WA last night that the move could be off due to something amiss in the Giants’ offer to Lobb.

“At 5:30pm [WA time] Lobb’s manager Colin (Young) rang me and said ’I don’t think it’s going to be something we’re going to be able to pursue [based] on the deal that was sent through,†Bell told SportsDay WA.
“I don’t know what it was.â€
So we will see whether those issues are fixes today or whether Lobb stays in Fremantle, the Dockers have previously said they wanted him to remain with them due to modest depth among their tall forwards.
If the 22-year-old Adam Cerra and the 24-year-old Jordan Dawson stood against a wall and allowed list managers to take their pick right now, most would need time to consider their decision.
Both have a third placing in a club best and fairest next to their name (Dawson’s in a top eight team this year) and Cerra has played 12 more games than the former Swan, who had a breakout year this season.

Cerra has a four-year deal at the Blues, having attracted interest from Melbourne, and Dawson will join the Crows on a four-year deal â€" trade pending â€" after Adelaide won the race for his services over Port Adelaide.
