The 10 most valuable players this trade period, in the eyes of Kane Cornes.

Cornes recognises the importance of McVee even if plenty of his team's supporters don't.

A big loss.

He doesn't, which is why he has Leek Aleer ahead of him!

Today’s hot potatoes ~

• Cal Wilkie recommits to the Saints after Bulldogs pursued him with a significant offer.

• Tom Morris claims that Christian Petracca has felt for the last few months that Melbourne was pushing him out. “Then on Monday he spoke to Damien Hardwick and Matthew Nicks. He will soon choose between the Suns and the Crows and it is a genuine 50/50."

NOTE: Many attendees at the best and fairest would have had a somewhat different impression about the situation, but Morris should know, given his intimate involvement with the inner workings of Brand Petracca.

• Cal Twomey was also talking about the decision Tracc has to make in coming days. “It is line ball whether it is Adelaide or Gold Coast. He is on the move, it is just about what the deal looks like.” Twomey also believes Charlie Curnow is in the mix for the Suns who can’t fit both of them onto their list.

• Tasmania's full list rules have been revealed.

The Devils will be given picks No.1, 3, 5*, 7*, 9, 11*, 13* in year one, No.5* and 9 in year two and three. Picks with * must be traded.

They will get 11 first round picks over their first three years and six of those have to be traded.

The AFL wants the other struggling clubs to be able to access other early picks. The clubs who lose players to Tasmania will be given at least one, maybe two floating picks.

The Devils will also have a $5 million sign-on bonus.

• Cal Twomey opines, “If you are Tasmania, do you offer Nick Daicos in 2028 an 8-year deal worth $2 million plus, as well as a $3 million sign-on fee? They have so much to play with.”

• James Hird on the centre bounce being removed -  "I think it is a bad decision re the centre bounce. it just favours the tallest guy in the ruck. You want guys with craft. I am disappointed it is gone."

NOTE: Max should be happy about this.  

• Tiger  defender Tylar Young has requested a trade to West Coast. 

AND JUST IN 

• Christian Petracca will travel to Gold Coast to meet with the Suns in person. 

More to come, no doubt

Can he fit Tom Morris in his suitcase?

Irrelevant as long as he brings Bailey Humphrey back on the return flight.

Geez I hope Daicos goes to Tassie. I think the AFL will want to promote this big time. We just need Pies to crash out of the 8 next year and I think he’ll start to see the lure. Pies are no doubt clearing a lot of cap space now to offer something for him to remain until 2035.
