It's the final week of the season for ten AFL clubs, but many still in contention have been at the centre of the latest trade stories across the competition.
It has been a busy week for Port Adelaide, who have been linked to two Victorian-based forwards, while one of their own stars is said to have a new suitor.
Richmond are again making headlines as key players reportedly seek moves elsewhere, while Collingwood have flagged their plans for the upcoming player movement period.
Here's all the latest trade news and rumours across the AFL...
Carlton are reportedly interested in contracted Port Adelaide defender Dan Houston.
The Blues are in a difficult position to please the Power should Houston want to move to Princes Park, with the All-Australian still said to be keen to return to his home state despite a potential move to Melbourne falling through.
Carlton wouldn't be willing to part with their first-round pick for this year's draft, according to AFL.com.au, who have revealed Blues coach Michael Voss - who formerly worked with the Power - may have even contacted Houston about a move.

Martin remains without a deal for 2025, facing an uncertain future following a season heavily interrupted by injury.
Martin has played just three games this year and could look for a new home, while the Blues may be open to parting ways given Martin's struggles to overcome soft-tissue concerns.

With Richmond potentially losing a handful of star players this off-season, the club could exit the trade period with a draft hand that holds seven top 21 picks.
Shai Bolton, Liam Baker and Daniel Rioli could all part for first-round picks, while Jack Graham's potential free agency exit would strengthen the Tigers' already strong draft hand via compensation.
Using a number of later picks in deals to help clubs wanting to acquire Academy and father-son tied prospects, the Tigers are positioned to add more top 20 picks this off-season.
