MELBOURNE has had some significant interest from clubs about a trade for its No.2 pick, while the Demons have declared Essendon midfielder David Myers is on their wish list.

Demons football manager Josh Mahoney also made it quite clear that the club's first-round pick was on the trade table, but at the right price. He also ruled out chasing Collingwood's Heath Shaw.

"David Myers is someone we've shown some interest in. All along we've said we want to add some depth to our midfield and he'd be one of the players that we're looking at at this stage," Mahoney said as he left Etihad Stadium on day one of the Gillette AFL Exchange Period.

A range of opposition clubs had made inquiries about its first-round draft selection, according to Mahoney.

"That's what today was about in gauging interest in pick two and a combination of players and draft picks," Mahoney said

"So we'll sit back and have a look at all the offers and move on from here.

"We've said all along that pick two is a prized pick and it would have to be a very good player or a combination of players for us to give up pick two.

"There's certainly a few that are worth considering."

One name that came up in discussions was Greater Western Sydney youngster Dylan Shiel.

Mahoney said the prospect of adding Shiel to the club's midfield was enticing, although the young Giant remains contracted and the club maintains he's a required player.

The Demons also have interest in Shiel's teammate, Taylor Adams. However, Adams has told the club it is not in his preferred list of destinations.

"Taylor at this stage has his preference of clubs that he wants to get to," Mahoney said.

"At the moment we're not [in it] and we haven't been involved in any of those discussions."

Mahoney also quashed reports the Demons were chasing West Coast midfielders Andrew Gaff and Luke Shuey or Gold Coast youngster David Swallow.
