Popular Melbourne clubman has notified the Demons he would like to leave Victoria at the end of the season for family reasons.
Melbourne premiership player Alex Neal-Bullen has told the club he would like to return to South Australia at season’s end for family reasons.
The Crows are already targeting Gold Coast playmaker Jack Lukosius, two years after they lured fellow South Australian and draft peer Izak Rankine from the Suns. If he does get to Adelaide, the 24-year-old would join an attack that already boasts promising key forwards Darcy Fogarty and Riley Thilthorpe, plus livewires Rankine and Josh Rachele.
The difference when Adelaide traded for Rankine – in a convoluted deal that centred on them handing over pick five – was that he was out of contract, whereas Lukosius has two years to run on a lucrative four-year pact he signed in mid-2022. The Suns, via their academy, are also keen to have as many Queenslanders as possible, with Jed Walter, Connor Budarick, Alex Davies, Alex Sexton, Will Graham, Jake Rogers, Bodhi Uwland and Lachie Weller all featuring in their one-point win over Essendon on Saturday night.James Peatling’s purple patch of form in the past month has not gone unnoticed, with St Kilda showing interest in the out-of-contract Greater Western Sydney midfielder.
A new deal at the Giants is not imminent, a well-placed source told this masthead on the condition of anonymity, with unrestricted free agents Harry Perryman, Isaac Cumming and Nick Haynes all drawing rival interest as well.
