Could the Brisbane Lions be going cold on Stefan Martin? Source: Herald Sun
A THREE-WAY deal delivering Stefan Martin, Ben Jacobs and Cameron Pedersen to their clubs of choice has been stalled by Brisbane's cold feet and Melbourne's meagre compensation selection.
Brisbane's reluctance to part with pick 33 for Demon utility Martin is the latest snag as Friday's 2pm deadline looms.
The potential deal could have seen Martin traded to Brisbane for 33, which the Demons could have given to the Roos for Pedersen, who could have on-traded it in the deal for homesick Port player Jacobs.
It loomed as the most likely deal to solve the trade impasse, but despite hosting Martin this week Brisbane does not believe he is worth that selection.
Melbourne had hoped even without the three-club traded it could have used its compensation deal to lure Pedersen.
Melbourne's compensation selection for Brent Moloney and Jared Rivers is only 49, which the Roos know is not enough for them to use to get Jacobs.
The Demons' next pick is 49, because they have already committed pick 27 to father-son pick Jack Viney.
Even if Melbourne would accept 49 for Pedersen, the Power want much more for Jacobs.
Port Adelaide wants North Melbourne's pick 15 for Jacobs given he was a former No.16 selection, but North won't give that up.
Melbourne also wants contracted midfielder Farren Ray, but St Kilda might have to decide if it will accept a late pick from the Demons as they have little else to give.
Meanwhile rival clubs seem to have gone cold on Hawthorn defender Stephen Gilham, which means the Hawks will face a difficult decision on the uncontracted defender.
GWS and Port Adelaide had been linked but neither has been in recent contact with Hawthorn about a trade. St Kilda, looking for a key defender, has already passed on Gilham.
Hawthorn defender Tom Murphy has already gone to the Gold Coast, but the Hawks so far have been non-committal about whether they would offer him another contract.
In a deal finalised yesterday, Koby Stevens is officially a Western Bulldog after his new club and West Coast struck an agreement clearing the midfielder's path to the Whitten Oval.
The Eagles yesterday accepted the Dogs' pick No.44 for the 21-year-old, who played only 11 games in three years at Subiaco Oval.
