Petty "open to a move back" to SA in the future

After the Demons stood firm on not having swingman Harrison Petty involved in a trade deal with Adelaide, the forward-turned-defender has spoken on where his career lies, admitting he will be open to a return to his home state of South Australia further down the track.

Petty, who is under contract for the next two years, was floated in trade discussions by the Crows as Adelaide prepared to deal Shane McAdam to Melbourne while wanting a player in return.

A deal for McAdam was finalised on Tuesday with a 2024 second-round selection heading to West Lakes, and Petty remaining on the Demons' list for another year at least.

On the same day the deal was lodged, Petty enjoyed a round of golf with Adelaide pair Darcy Fogarty and Mitch Hinge, with the Demons tall telling 9 News that he may be open to a move to South Australia in the future.

"It's sort of my decision and the club's decision," Petty said after his future was cemented.

"The decision has been made now by Melbourne, which I'm totally fine with. I'm happy I'm on an AFL list still.

"I suppose at some stage I'd be open to a move back (to South Australia). It is tough at times, but my family are lucky enough that they can come over and see me a bit (in Melbourne).

Petty is set to play a leading role in Melbourne's forward line from 2024, pairing with emerging tall attacker Jacob van Rooyen alongside the incoming McAdam.

Ginnivan shock as Magpie requests Hawks move

In what emerged as a late twist on the penultimate day of the trade period, contracted Collingwood forward Jack Ginnivan is said to be seeking a trade to Hawthorn.

Despite Collingwood shutting down reports of trade interest in Ginnivan on Monday, the maligned Magpie is now said to be up for grabs, with the Hawks in the front seat.

A request from Ginnivan's management is said to have been lodged just over 24 hours out from the trade deadline and a day after Collingwood added Lachie Schultz to their list.

DONE DEAL: Demons add Crows forward

Adelaide has traded forward Shane McAdam to Melbourne in exchange for the Demons' own future second-round selection.

McAdam's move comes after a trade request was lodged last month to secure a move to Victoria, with the Demons his preferred landing spot.

The Crows had a strong interest in bringing in a player from Melbourne as part of the deal, but instead settled for a 2024 second-round selection.

Bomber back on trade radar

After being removed from the trade table on the opening day of the trade period, Essendon midfielder Dylan Shiel is still seen as gettable late into the exchange window.

Shiel had been linked to St Kilda as part of a second move that would've followed Jade Gresham's free agency switch to the Bombers, but list manager Adrian Dodoro shut down Shiel's potential exit last Monday.

While seen as a low chance, Shiel is still viewed as a potential trade target in the eyes of rival clubs.

Brisbane readying Ryan move outside of Gunston trade

The Lions are said to have tabled an offer to Hawthorn for Brandon Ryan in a deal that wouldn't include wantaway Brisbane sharpshooter Jack Gunston.

Gunston has requested a trade back to Hawthorn 12 months on from his move to the Lions, with a return now in mind for the veteran forward.

Brisbane have shown an interest in Ryan following Gunston's request, and could now look to lure the Mid-Season Draft selection in a separate deal.
