THE Kangaroos might yet relocate to the Gold Coast within years but for now, they are trying to lure Brisbane Lions midfielder Troy Selwood home to Victoria.

The out-of-contract Lions' midfielder met the Kangaroos last week and is at a stalemate in contract talks with the Lions.

Out-of-contract Bulldog Jordan McMahon could be reunited with former coach Terry Wallace, with Richmond expressing keen interest in him, while Port Adelaide also is believed to be eager to encourage the former South Australian home.

The Dogs are likely to seek a second-round draft pick for McMahon, while the Tigers would leverage their first pick in the pre-season draft in any negotiation.

Richmond and West Coast seem set to strike a deal over Eagle Mitch Morton, with West Coast mindful of needing to trade Morton and protect itself in the Chris Judd negotiations.

The Tigers identified Morton as a potential uncontracted first pick in the pre-season draft, which, if it came to fruition, would give Carlton the whip hand in Judd negotiations — since it would be able to snare him for nothing via the draft.

Melbourne meets today with the management of Brad Miller, whom Sydney has shown an interest in acquiring. The Demons say Miller, who is under contract, is a required player.

Bulldog Sam Power could be going to Sydney, for a third- or fourth-round selection, but that trade might yet be complicated by the Kangaroos' interest in him.

The nearest thing to a done deal yesterday was Martin Mattner's passage to Sydney for a three-year deal with the Swans that is likely to lead to their second-round selection, pick 28, and possibly Stephen Doyle, going to the Crows.

Hawthorn has put a second-round price on the head of forward Tim Boyle but insisted that Jarryd Roughead, whom many clubs inquired after, is off limits.

Essendon utility Kepler Bradley, 21, has what looks to be a prohibitive first-round price attached to his future, with Essendon, who drafted him three years ago with pick six, maintaining that nothing less than a late first-round selection will enable him to move.

Wingman Ricky Dyson received strong interest, while veteran defender Mark Johnson was being linked with Port Adelaide and Fremantle.

The Dockers, who fielded interest in forward Ryan Murphy and Byron Schammer, are one of the clubs interested in Dyson. Carlton and Fremantle are interested in out-of-contract Brisbane midfielder Richard Hadley.
