CROWS SWOOP ON TIGER RUCKMAN GRAHAM
Adelaide Crows are poised to announce the signing of Richmond ruckman Angus Graham on a two-year deal as the Kurt Tippett trade with Sydney turns more bizarre. Graham's move to West Lakes - in a swap of draft picks - gives the Crows the back-up ruckman to support lead ruckman Sam Jacobs. But it also puts into question the need to take ruckman-forward Jesse White from Sydney in a trade for Tippett. Graham, 25, played just one AFL game this season as he fell behind former Crow Ivan Maric in the Tiger line-up.

POWER OFFER HITCHCOCK MORE TIME
Dangerous small forward Cameron Hitchcock is likely to play on with Port Adelaide. The 22-year-old managed just two games for the Power in 2012 as he battled hamstring issues. His manager Greg Size told the AFL website that he expected the uncontracted Hitchcock to ink a new deal in the coming weeks. "Port have said they're keen for Cameron to play on, which he's really rapt about," Size said on Thursday.

SAINTS LEAD RACE FOR HICKEY
The race for Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey will hot up this afternoon after the release of compensation picks, with St Kilda leading Collingwood and North Melbourne. The Suns believe only a late first-round pick will seal the deal for the Queenslander, who they say is a ready-made ruckman with 10 years of AFL ahead of him. The Saints clearly lead the race, although the Pies and North Melbourne have shown some interest.

HANSEN TURNS DOWN INTEREST TO REMAIN A ROO
Lachlan Hansen has ignored opposition overtures to re-sign with North Melbourne for the next two seasons, the AFL website reports. Hansen's future became clouded when opposition clubs, headed by Greater Western Sydney and Fremantle, reportedly tried to entice him away from Aegis Park. But North put an end to that speculation when it confirmed the No. 3 pick in the 2006 NAB AFL Draft had re-signed with the club on Friday.

LIONS EYE VERSATILE DEMON
Brisbane have turned their attention to another Melbourne player after securing former Demon Brent Moloney as a free agent. Stefan Martin could join his former teammate Moloney under Michael Voss, it has been reported. The versatile big man is contracted by Melbourne but is on the trade table. At this stage the Lions have picks eight, 23, 30 and 43 to deal with. The Dees would likely do the deal for selection No.30 or keep the 25-year-old for themselves.

GUMBY WEIGHING UP HIS OPTIONS
Essendon forward Scott Gumbleton will decide in the coming week whether he sticks with the Bombers for another season or makes a move. Western Bulldogs have put a deal to the injury-plagued forward while Melbourne and Fremantle have both been linked with him in the past fortnight. It's understood Gumbleton, who lives with Essendon skipper Jobe Watson, wants to stay in Melbourne. He is leaning towards signing with the Bombers at this stage. The Demons are more likely to acquire North Melbourne big man Cam Pedersen. Essendon unrestricted free agent David Hille is yet to commit to another one-year deal with the Dons.

EAGLE WANTS NEW HOME WITH DOGS
West Coast midfielder Koby Stevens is believed to have signalled his intention to join Western Bulldogs, the AFL website reports. The 21-year-old, who played 11 games in three seasons with the Eagles, chose the Bulldogs as his new home after considering offers from Essendon and St Kilda. The Victorian product wanted a return to his home state but a deal will still need to be done between the two clubs. Stevens was taken at No.23 in the 2009 national draft.

ANXIOUS TIME FOR FREE AGENTS
Carlton pair Bret Thornton and Jordan Russell remain clubless in the countdown to Friday's free agent deadline. The Blues will delist the pair on October 29. Thornton has met with Gold Coast Suns but, given he won't be selected before today's first free agency cut-off, he is still seen as a Carlton player. His task becomes harder after he is delisted, because every delisted player is automatically an unrestricted free agent, regardless of age. The veteran defender must vie with fellow talls such as Melbourne's first-round draft pick Lucas Cook. If the Dees delist Cook he will be chased by several clubs.

SUNS SACK FOUR PLAYERS
Twenty-five-year-old former Collingwood midfielder Sam Iles has been delisted by Gold Coast Suns. Iles was the most experienced of four players let go by the Suns on Thursday. The Suns also cut ties with Alik Magin, Lewis Moss and Piers Flanagan. Iles played seven games at the Magpies in 2006-07 and was then offered a lifeline by the Suns. Iles played 16 games in 2011 and averaged 23.8 disposals in 10 games this season.

CATS TO SQUEEZE OUT STEPHENSON
Hamish McIntosh's arrival at Geelong could force 30-year-old big man Orren Stephenson back to the VFL. The 30-year-old played eight games this year after he was the shock selection at last year's national draft. Stephenson was on just a one-year deal in 2012. The Cats have already committed to elevating rookie-listed midfielder Jesse Stringer at the national draft and currently have selection No.15 in the first round.

KANGAS READY TO SPEND BIG
Geelong recruit Hamish McIntosh has backed himself to emerge from his recurring injury nightmare and restore the Cats' midfield supremacy. Geelong cleared the path for McIntosh's arrival by giving their second-round pick (No.36) to the Kangaroos. North Melbourne will use the cleared salary cap space to front-load a number of deals with players out of contract next year. The Roos have nine players out of contract next season, including Daniel Wells, Drew Petrie and Michael Firrito, and emerging stars Jack Ziebell, Shaun Atley, Kieran Harper and Sam Wright. McIntosh's departure should free up almost $450,000. The Roos are also frontrunners to snare homesick Port Adelaide playmaker Ben Jacobs, 20.

YOUNG TO JOIN A NEW NEST
As we reported here, dashing Hawthorn wingman Clinton Young has accepted a three-year deal to join Collingwood. Young is a free agent and the Hawks will be handed a draft pick for his departure at 5pm on Friday night when the AFL reveals the compensation. Port Adelaide were also in the mix for Young but he wanted to stay in Victoria.

TIPPETT TO GET HIS WISH
And, our lead story today, is a likely end to the Kurt Tippett saga. The Crows will accept out-of-favour forward Jesse White and the Sydney's first-round draft choice for Tippett, who chose the Swans as his preferred home despite initially signaling a desire to return to Queensland.
