Maintain a current awareness of the most recent player movement changes in AFL Trade Whispers; stay informed!It has been claimed that Collingwood and Melbourne are showing interest in Port Adelaide forward Ollie Lord because of his potential.After stating that there was a “zero-to-one percent chance” that Dustin Martin will unretire and return to Gold Coast to resume his career with the Suns, Trent Cotchin, a former Richmond triple championship captain, has doubled down on his previous statement.

On Monday night, the coach of the Suns, Damien Hardwick, stated on Fox Footy’s AFL 360 that his team was “in the initial stages” of negotiations with Martin regarding a prospective trade. However, Cotchin’s confidence has only risen in his initial forecast.

“Dimma is a convincing person, and it is obvious that they (Hardwick and Martin) have a great relationship, but I have moved even closer to the ‘zero percent,'” Cotchin said in an interview with Talking Footy on Seven.

“If I were to say anything, it would be that there is not even a 0.1 percent probability that… That’s how self-assured I know I am.”

The location of Hardwick’s conversations with Martin was discussed on AFL 360.

“What we need to do is simply sit there and figure out whether or not it is possible for both of us to make it work. Are both parties able to make use of this opportunity? According to what he said on Fox Footy, “Are we motivated to go into this?”

“And look, there is no rush from our point of view; decisions of that nature aren’t made until approximately one month from now,” the speaker was quoted as saying.

It would be possible for Martin to become an unrestricted free agent and join Hardwick’s Gold Coast team if he were to reverse his decision to retire from the profession.

According to AFL Media journalist Josh Gabelich, the Pies and Demons, who are in desperate need of key positions, have not been deterred from pursuing the Sandringham Dragons product, who is 19 years old. It is believed that the Sandringham Dragons product is a part of Port’s long-term ambitions.

With Charlie Dixon making his retirement official on Wednesday, it should come as no surprise that the Power are not willing to entertain rival pursuits of the youngster, despite the fact that Jack Lukosius appears to be on the verge of arriving. Lord is under contract at Alberton until 2026, having signed a fresh two-year extension at the end of the previous year.

The Dees have had “long-term interest” in Lord, and they continue to be interested by him, according to Twomey, who added that the Magpies have “enquired” about him.

While Melbourne is looking to solve the deficiencies in its forward line that it has experienced in previous years, it is also pursuing the untested key forward Wade Derksen from GWS. It is anticipated that Derksen will join the Demons during this trade period, despite the fact that he is under contract with the Giants for the next year.

Meanwhile, Collingwood is looking to add an intimidating forward to their roster in order to complement the presence of Dan McStay and Brody Mihocek’s presence.
