With the dust having settled on Wednesday's Mid-Season Draft, clubs have begun looking to sew up the talent that is already on their list.

According to AFL Media, Hawthorn are reportedly close to agreeing to terms with hard-nosed defender Blake Hardwick.

The 24-year-old has put his best foot forward since debuting in 2016, having played in 73 of the Hawks' last 74 contests.

With the defensive minded Victorian's contract set to expire at the completion of this season, the Waverley based club has acted quickly and are set to table a three-year extension to Hardwick that will tie him to the club until after his 27th birthday.

The Eastern Ranges product's signature is not the only one that the 13-time premiers are chasing, as key-forward option, Jacob Koschitzke and the hard-running, Harry Morrison are also out of contract at the end of 2021.

Although this extension will be welcomed by Hardwick, the news is not so rosy for former top 10 draftee, Sam Petrevski-Seton.

AFL Journalist, Riley Beveridge stated on Thursday that talks between the 23-year-old and the Princes Park club have yet to commence.

This news comes at a time that Petrevski-Seton is facing a sixth consecutive week outside of David Teague's best-22.

With higher profile Blues in Patrick Cripps and Harry McKay also set to ink new deals, it is little wonder why the Western-Australian isn't seen as a top priority.

As of yet, there has been no word of other club's circling for the Halls Creek native's services.
