RAY TO REMAIN AT SAINTS
Farren Ray could continue at St Kilda next season despite languishing in the VFL this year and fielding interest from aggressive trade player Melbourne.
The dashing wingman floated in and out of new coach Scott Watters' side this year, finishing with just 11 games, but remains contracted at Seaford in 2013.
Ray's manager Marty Pask said as it stood "at the moment", Ray was expected to stay a Saint.
The former No. 4 draft pick was traded to St Kilda at the end of the 2008 season after falling out of the best 22 at the Western Bulldogs.
A quiet qualifying final sealed Ray's fate under then-Dogs coach Rodney Eade, but he rebounded strongly under Ross Lyon, adding a harder edge to his game.
Ray, 26, played 50 of a possible 51 games in 2009-10, including all three grand finals.
SUNS SLAM DOOR ON TIPPETT
The door has been slammed shut on Kurt Tippett at Gold Coast Suns after they dismissed the notion of snapping up the defecting Adelaide Crows forward if talks with Sydney Swans broke down. Tippett will be forced to nominate for the draft pool if he is not traded by the October 26 deadline - and with the No.2 pre-season pick, the Suns would be in a prime position to nab the Queenslander. However, Suns football manager Marcus Ashcroft said they had "moved on" since receiving the shock news that Tippett wanted to move to Sydney rather than returning to his home state Queensland. Read the full story here.
SUNS SIGN LOCAL LAD
Gold Coast have tapped into their zone recruiting allowances to snare a key-position talent capable of performing at both ends of the ground. The Suns signed Clay Cameron, a highly-rated athlete. Cameron, who won a rising star nomination playing for NEAFL club Mt Gravatt in 2011, battled osteitis pubis in 2010 - delaying his start in the big time. To make room, Gold Coast could offload ruckman Tom Hickey and powerful defender Josh Toy this trade period. Hickey wants to move to St Kilda to be closer to his girlfriend, while Essendon-raised Toy has a one-year offer on the table from the Suns but has met with three Melbourne clubs.
GIANTS SET TO GET BRET
Carlton free agent Bret Thornton is likely to add some experience and size to the young Greater Western Sydney list. The Giants have met with the 28-year-old after he told the Blues at the end of 2012 that he would seek a new club. The Giants could use the 188-game veteran to shore up their defence or swing him forward to ease the burden on young gun Jeremy Cameron. Thornton's former Carlton teammate Jordan Russell is also on the hunt for a fresh start but a move to Port Adelaide fell through last week.
RODAN AND TIGERS COULD REUNITE
Sacked Port Adelaide midfielder David Rodan is hopeful he can extend his AFL career with a return to his first club, Richmond, a possibility. Rodan told SEN that his manager had met with a number of interested clubs since the Power delisted Rodan last week. The Tigers are one club who have enquired about Rodan, who has played 176 games since debuting in 2002. "There has been a few clubs contact me, which is encouraging," Rodan said. "I still feel like I've got a fair bit left ... obviously hoping that the clubs out there will still want me." Asked whether Richmond was one of those clubs, Rodan said: "There has been a bit of talk, but it's still very early and we've still got a few days, another week, until we finish up talks. "But the great thing is I've obviously got a few clubs hopefully wanting me to get on their lists." The 29-year-old played 65 games for Richmond from 2002-06 before the Tigers delisted him and went on to play 111 games for the Power.
NOT EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE MARTIN
Versatile Melbourne big man Stefan Martin isn't attracting a lot of interest at the trade table. The athletic Martin, 25, has one year remaining on his contract at the Dees. He is open to a move elsewhere after 57 games in five seasons. He managed just seven games in 2012, Mark Neeld's first season as coach. Martin could be used in a deal with St Kilda for midfielder Farren Ray, who the Demons are keen to acquire.
GIANTS KEEP THEIR BIG MAN
After weeks of speculation, Greater Western Sydney ruckman Jonathan Giles has signed a new three-year deal to stay at the Giants. The 24-year-old shouldered the ruck load for the Giants in 2012 but was being courted by a number of clubs, including Adelaide. However, the former Port Adelaide-listed player resisted the temptation of returning to his home state and inked a three-year contract.
CATS LOOKING FOR NEW HOME
As Geelong try to finalise deals for North Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh and veteran Demon Jared Rivers, there are two youngsters on the verge of exiting the club. Tom Gillies, who almost joined Hawthorn 12 months ago, is looking to advance his career elsewhere. Injury-plagued key forward Mitch Brown is doing likewise. Their places on the Geelong list are likely to be filled by McIntosh and Rivers. The Kangaroos and Cats are likely to try and thrash out a McIntosh deal on Monday.
