Just three days remain in the 2016 AFL Trade Period, and with just one trade completed on Monday, there is set to be an avalanche of moves made by 2pm Thursday.
As expected, Jordan Lewis has reportedly declared that he wants to become a Demon.
Jordan Lewis has told Melbourne & Hawthorn that he wants to be a Demon. His time at Hawks is over. Deal being thrashed out this arvo.

Incidentally, UNHAPPY HAWK JORDAN LEWIS TO MELBOURNE is an anagram of UNHAPPY HAWKER, BUT JOLLIER NOW AS DEMON. #AFLTrades

So when Graham Wright repeatedly said 'not at this stage' re Jordan Lewis on Friday, now we know what he meant. @AFL

The Roos traded pick 69 to GWS for former pick 7 Paul Ahern, who won’t play in 2017 after ACL surgery a month ago.
Smart bit of business from NM if they land Paul Ahern for a mid-late pick. A Rolls Royce. Hope we get to see him at his best. #TradeSENtral

Daniel Menzel is proof an elite talent can overcome knee injuries to prosper. Watch Paul Ahern do the same thing at @NMFCOfficial

Judging from these highlights, he could be the steal of 2016 if he can get back out on the park.

Sydney are set to lose Grand Final player Xavier Richards, after he requested a trade late in the day.
Xavier Richards wanting out is just weird. Secured a spot in a top 4 starting 22 at expense of his brother, now wants out, what? #AFLTrades

With up to three key defenders departing Collingwood, could the Holden Centre be his new home?
So @njbrown16 deal is approved & on the same afternoon Sydney defender Xavier Richards seeks trade to Victoria. Coincidence? #gopies

So a quieter than expected Monday on the trade front. Hopefully there’s some more action tomorrow so the AFL.com.au crew won’t have to create abominations like this to fill up their day:
Who at the AFL is responsible for this? When was the last time anyone said "nek minnit"? Also, MVP? Not B&F? So many questions. pic.twitter.com/3OerzpG8tG
