Gelong pair Charlie Constable and Ryan Abbott could be used as potential sweeteners to boost the club’s hopes of landing St Kilda star Jack Steven.
According to Fox Footy, the Saints will listen to suitable offers for the four-time best and fairest winner if there is a mutual parting of ways.
Steven, who turns 30 in March, has one year remaining on his contract and has missed a considerable portion of the season to deal with a mental health issue.
If a trade is forthcoming, Geelong youngster Constable could seek a move in the opposite direction amid reported frustration with a lack of opportunities at senior level.
The 20-year-old is contracted until the end of 2021 and has played just seven games since he was selected at pick No.36 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft.
Like Constable, Abbott is also understood to be exploring his options having fallen behind the likes of Rhys Stanley, Zac Smith and Darcy Fort in the ruck pecking order.
Abbott, 28, is contracted to Geelong until at least the end of 2020.
