The Hawthorn Football Club is continuing to explore trade options involving several high-profile players rather than focusing solely on midfielder Zach Merrett. Multiple reports indicate the Hawks remain interested in acquiring Merrett and view him as a key target. Separately, Hawthorn is described as a leading destination for Ben King if he decides to leave the Gold Coast Suns, suggesting the club has also identified King as a potential acquisition. The Hawks are also reported to have engaged in trade discussions around Bailey Humphrey, with the Suns young gun flagged as another player Hawthorn is pursuing. While the reports do not provide confirmed deal details or timelines, they consistently present Hawthorn as having an active, multi-target approach to list building through the trade period. Overall, the information points to the Hawks seeking to add talent across different positions and age groups, with Merrett, King, and Humphrey each considered plausible targets depending on player decisions and trade negotiations.
