The AFL's annual player movement period kicks off on Friday when free agency opens, and the early focus is on two restricted free agents: Gold Coast full-forward Ben King and Port Adelaide midfielder Zak Butters.
King has told the Suns he is leaving and intends to join Hawthorn on a deal industry insiders say could stretch over seven years and be worth more than $9 million. A key question is whether Gold Coast will match the Hawks' offer and force a trade, a decision that shapes as one of the most fascinating aspects of the trade period. The outcome could also affect the draft selections Hawthorn needs to secure Essendon's Zach Merrett, with the AFL keeping a close eye on the deal.
Butters, meanwhile, is hoping to confirm a shift to the Western Bulldogs.
Neale, a dual Brownlow medallist, and Greene, the GWS captain, are unrestricted free agents, meaning they have an easier path to a new home. Neale has been linked with a move to Collingwood, one day after the Lions' public premiership celebrations.
