Although Tom Phillips was associated with the club until 2021, he has reportedly been told that the club is ready to trade with him. After 15 games in 2020, Phillips is suddenly at risk of falling into the club’s top 22.
The 24-year-old’s season ended prematurely when he sustained a hamstring injury on lap 15.
SEN reporter Sam Edmund announced that the Magpies are open to Phillips joining a rival club before his contract expires.
According to the Herald Sun.Geelong aspired to sign Phillips last year, but the deal never took place.
Meanwhile, midfielder Adam Treloar has ceased speculation that he will follow his wife, who plays netball, north to join either the Gold Coast Suns or the Brisbane Lions.
On Wednesday, Collingwood also announced that Tim Broomhead and Matthew Scharenberg had been delisted, while Lynden Dunn, Ben Reid and Travis Varcoe announced their resignation.
Meanwhile, Collingwood’s longtime recruiter Matt Rendell has called on the club to trade two-time all-Australian Brodie Grundy.
Earlier this year, Grundy is believed to have signed a seven-year deal with the Magpies, valued at approximately $ 7 million.
However, the 26-year-old struggled in an overwhelming 2020, making only 14.4 exits per game compared to last season’s average of 21.3 exits per game.
After leaving the Pies final, Buckley suggested that life at the Hub had hit Grundy badly but was confident the tall man would rediscover his form.
Talking about the SEN breakfast, Rendell suggested that Collingwood Grundy act and take a step for the GWS Giants striker Jeremy Cameron. In a drastic roster revision, he also suggested that great striker Mason Cox should be sent to the Western Bulldogs.
“I’d trade Brodie Grundy for Sydney if I could,” said the former Collingwood recruiter.
“It goes well with the swans, they desperately need a ruckman. I know what you think who (Collingwood) is going to play in the jerk, but I’d play Darcy Moore in the jerk.
“He’ll win a brownlow if he plays in the jerk and moves forward with Mason Cox.
“But if they got Jeremy Cameron, I’d send Cox to the Western Bulldogs – they’re desperate for a key striker and a jerkman, he can jerk Tim English.
“I’d play Moore in the jerk and swap him with Cox if the Jeremy Cameron stuff didn’t pay off. I know this is a big call, but I think this is how you get the deal done and money in your cap.
“I think Brodie might be interested, and I think Collingwood would be interested as long as they knew they could get Cameron with this cap room.
“The other thing is that around this time last year I did a study of the backpacks for her (Collingwood) because we didn’t know if Brodie was going to stay or go, and I gave them a replacement for Grundy and told them They are supposed to be hunting Sam Hayes in Port Adelaide.
“He’s ready to break off his knee (injury). I saw him play at the end of last year, he was very, very good. He plays similar to Brodie, but is third behind Scott Lycett and Peter Ladhams in Port Adelaide.
“I assume that he still has a year on his contract.”
Cameron has yet to sign with the Giants, and there is growing speculation that he will be picked up by Geelong.
On Tuesday, Brian Cook, CEO of Geelong, admitted the club “went to great lengths” to lure the 27-year-old to Victoria.
“We’re in the big market right now for Jeremy Cameron,” Cook told Sportsday WA.
“He’s having trouble making a decision. He’s a loyal guy and, you know the rules, if you’ve been around long do you end your career in one place? Or are you tempted to go elsewhere? I think that’s a good quality of character that he shows and demonstrates.
“We try a lot of time for it.”
AFL media journalist Mitch Cleary believes Cameron is delaying his decision while waiting for Geelong’s season to end.
“I think there is now a very high chance that Jeremy Cameron will find his way into Geelong as a restricted free agent,” Cleary told AFL Media Trade Desk.
“My ears were perky last week when I asked Chris Scott about Jeremy Cameron and he said that when their season is over, players like Jeremy are always happy to stick with the teams that are still in the finals.
“That tells me that if Jeremy Cameron doesn’t sign before Geelong’s season is over, the Giants will ring alarm bells.”
