There could be a flurry of activity ahead of Thursday afternoon's NAB AFL Trade Period deadline, with a few players and their managers likely to be frenetic up until 2pm.

While deals have been finally done for the likes of Jake Carlisle and Adam Treloar, all eyes will be on whether Chris Yarran and James Aish, among others, can find new homes.

AFL.com.au's Trade Winds will provide a round-up of the latest news every morning until the end of Trade Period.

Will Yarran get to Punt Road?
Carlton's Chris Yarran has made his desire to become a Richmond player no secret, but if he does get to the Tigers, it's going to be a nail-biter.

The Blues want Richmond's first-round pick 12 for the West Australian, but Richmond isn't keen to give that up, which could leave Yarran stuck.

But, it's believed Hawthorn might be able to help. 

The Age is reporting that the Hawks are considering offering Richmond picks 15 and 18 in exchange for picks 12 and 19, meaning that the Tigers could then offload either one to the Blues.

As reported by AFL.com.au on Wednesday, the Tigers might be exploring a range of complicated pick swapping scenarios.

The Tigers have picks including No.12, 19, 52, while Carlton's conceivably relevant selections include No.20, 21, 59 and 60.

Lobbe rejects offer to make the kennel his new home
The Western Bulldogs made a late bid to lure Port Adelaide ruckman Matthew Lobbe to the club for 2016, but it's believed the Power big man has declined their advances.

Port has told the footy world that its vice-captain isn't on the trade table, but a significant offer from the Doggies has at least made them think about it.

According to The Advertiser, the Dogs put a deal to the Power that included pick 11 in this year's draft, which was enough to get the club to contact Lobbe – who is on holiday in Vietnam - to gauge his interest.

The ruckman is contracted until the end of 2019 and is believed to have told Port officials that he wants to stay in South Australia.
