Leuenberger is yet to declare whether he wishes to join Essendon or the Swans, in what is a close contest for his services.

The Bombers are also interested in Gold Coast ruckman Zac Smith but Leuenberger is believed to be their top priority.

Worsfold has said he would reach out to Jake Carlisle and Jake Melksham, but the club appears resigned to the fact both players are committed to leaving the club.

Melksham is headed to Melbourne on a four-year deal, while Carlisle, who had a medical at StKilda on Monday, is likely to nominate the Saints as his new home. Carlisle, who also has some interest from Carlton, is understood to want a contract in the vicinity of $3 million over five years. The Blues have the capacity to secure him with first pick in the pre-season draft.

Collingwood wingman PaulSeedsman flew to Queensland and was given a tour of Gold Coast's home last week, with the Suns eager to secure the pacy midfielder.

Seedsman, who won this year's Anzac Day Medal, is also being sought by Adelaide and North Melbourne.

Others clubs have also expressed interest in the player, who has asked for a trade after battling to secure a regular place in Collingwood's senior team, playing 49 games in four years.

Suns coach Rodney Eade was director of football at Collingwood until last year and so worked closely with Seedsman.

Carlton is interested in contracted Greater Western Sydney key-position player Adam Tomlinson, one of a number of Giants the Blues are seeking to secure.

Tomlinson is contracted for two more years after signing a contract extension but it is understood that the versatile key tall has been frustrated at the lack of opportunities he has been given and the inconsistency of position.

Blues recruiting manager Stephen Silvagni recruited the Victorian Tomlinson and is keen to bring him to Princes Park along with Lachie Plowman, Andrew Phillips, Jed Lamb and Liam Sumner.

The Giants have already rejected a request from contracted key forward Cam McCarthy to be traded back to Fremantle.

Collingwood forward Ben Kennedy has met Melbourne, which rated him extremely highly in his draft year of 2012.

The Demons would likely have chosen the South Australian with pick four in that year's national draft, had Jimmy Toumpas been selected with one of the first three picks.

Kennedy is contracted and may remain with the Magpies, who drafted him at No. 19 alongside Brodie Grundy and Tim Broomhead, with the goal of developing into a permanent crumbing forward.

The 21-year-old could potentially form part of a deal that enables Toumpas to move home to Adelaide and play for the Power.

Toumpas had surgery on both hips before joining the Demons and has struggled in his three years at the club to replicate his draft-year form as a skilful wingman/forward.

Kennedy has, likewise, battled to establish himself in the Collingwood side, starting as the sub in 12 of his 25 games.

While securing Gold Coast forward Charlie Dixon is Port Adelaide's priority, the club has been made aware of some interest in midfield pair Aaron Young and Andrew Moore.

Collingwood is one of the clubs to have indicated some interest in Young, who has a contract but may be open to an opportunity elsewhere.

Moore, 24, is out of contract, and has played just 14 games in the past two years, including five this season.

Fremantle is among the clubs to have expressed some interest in Ryan Schoenmakers, who is expected to re-sign with Hawthorn after becoming a premiership player on Saturday.

Fairfax Media reported on Monday that Sydney was one of the clubs circling the key-position player, who rejected interest from elsewhere at the end of last season to remain with the Hawks.

Melbourne is expected to shortly confirm a new deal with defender Colin Garland, a restricted free agent.
