Clubs left the Etihad Stadium corporate boxes but continued to negotiate deals on day two of the NAB AFL Trade Period.
Big deals involving Essendon's Paddy Ryder shifting to Port Adelaide and Dayne Beams' proposed move from Collingwood to the Brisbane Lions have not appeared to gather much momentum.
But a number of other trades are in the works as clubs search for ways to add talent to their respective lists.
Bombers keen on Jaksch
As AFL.com.au reported that Greater Western Sydney tall Kristian Jaksch may find it difficult moving to preferred destination Carlton, it emerged Essendon was interested in the 20-year-old.
The Herald Sun reports the Bombers are keen to make a pitch to Jaksch, who has so far not considered them as a possible new home.
It has also been confirmed young Bombers midfielder Elliott Kavanagh has requested a trade.
Kavanagh, selected with pick No.19 in 2011 draft, has played just seven games in three seasons, and his manager Anthony McConville told the Herald Sun he would look to join a rival club.
"He is exploring what his options are," McConville said.
"It is up to another club to put forward an enticing bid to Essendon."
Kavanagh is contracted to the Bombers until the end of next season.
Varcoe a Pie?
Geelong premiership player Travis Varcoe is up for trade and could join Collingwood as part of a three-way deal.
The speedy midfielder is understood to be open to switching clubs, and The Age reports he could move to the Magpies in a trade with Melbourne and Geelong involving Mitch Clark and Heritier Lumumba.
West Coast, which had been linked with Varcoe, is said to have acknowledged that he may prefer to remain in Victoria.
The Magpies already look set to land North Melbourne midfielder Levi Greenwood, who on Tuesday expressed his interest in joining the Magpies.
Varcoe played 23 games for the Cats in 2014 and was part of their 2009 and 2011 premiership wins.
Cooney's name raised
Brownlow medallist Adam Cooney was part of discussions between Carlton and the Western Bulldogs.
The Age reports of a deal that would see Cooney, Dogs' teammate Liam Jones and the club's third-round pick (No.45) exchanged for the Blues' second-round pick, No.28.
It would mean the Dogs would have four picks inside the top 30 (6, 26, 27 and 28) in what is viewed as a strong draft pool.
Cooney signed a two-year contract with the Bulldogs last year and will again be eligible for free agency at the end of the 2015 season.
