It's hard to believe we're here, but Clayton Oliver's future at Melbourne is unclear despite his contract for the next seven seasons.
Stunning speculation has surrounded the prolific ball-winner over the past 24 hours, with the Demons now reported to be open to the idea of trading on their star midfielder if the right deal arises.
While all 17 rivalling sides would be keen on acquiring the 26-year-old this trade period, only some have the trade capital and list fit to suit a move.
So here we've looked at five clubs that could have a position for Oliver in their side and might even be able to satisfy the Demons.
5. Sydneyย
The Swans have made it known they're after a stronger inside midfield presence, with targets of James Jordon and Paddy Dow more realistic and cheaper depth options to help build their midfield group.
But would Sydney put those plans aside and place their eggs in the Clayton Oliver basket?
The New South Wales side might not have the strongest draft hand, but they could put forward Pick 11 and 23 along with their future first-round pick to the Demons.
Another factor that would significantly depend on salary cap space, the Swans could also be prepared to pay a larger portion of Brodie Grundy's contract if the departing Demon's expected move to the Swans is currently set to see Melbourne chip in on some of his wages along with Collingwood.
The combination of Oliver, Errol Gulden, Chad Warner, James Rowbottom and Luke Parker in the middle of the ground at the feet of Grundy would put the Swans near the top for midfield cattle.
