TRADE UPDATE - THE MAIN PLAYERS IN THE TRADE PERIOD Dayne Beams, Collingwood Brisbane has been told it has until 5pm Friday to facilitate a trade with Collingwood that would let Beams join his family in Queensland, but also provide a fair and reasonable outcome for the Pies. The Lions believe their early draft pick (currently No.4) fits that requirement, but Collingwood wants that plus a player, such as James Aish or Dayne Zorko. Beams did not attend Collingwoods best and fairest. Nick Malceski, Sydney The Gold Coasts No.1 apriority right now and has upped the ante by offering the 30-year-old essentially a three-year deal, compared to Sydneys two. His manager says he is happy at the Swans and would stay, as long as the club can get close to his market value, which has also been explored by a Western Australian club and Melbourne. James Frawley, Melbourne His move to preferred club Hawthorn on a four-year deal (with a fifth-year trigger) at close to $600,000 a season could be made official as early as Monday, with the Demons set to find out whether the AFL will award pick No.3 as compensation for the free agent. Levi Greenwood, North Melbourne North says the situation remains status quo, reporting no movement from either party over the weekend. The Roos have put a revised offer to Greenwood, both in terms of money and term, and are confident it will satisfy a player they rate as a critical signing and believe wants to be a part of the clubs premiership run next year. Meanwhile, the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood, and to a lesser extent Richmond, wait on his decision. He could make a call as early as Monday, but the Roos are not certain of that.
