Out-of-contract Geelong midfielder Charlie Constable is certain to depart the club at the end of 2021 if a rival suitor emerges, according to SEN Chief Sports Reporter Sam Edmund.
The 22-year-old has played just three games at AFL level this year as he continues to bide his time in the VFL.
Constable tried – and failed – to secure a move away from the Cats last year in search for more game time and Edmund now believes he will leave Kardinia Park if another club offers him a deal.
“Charlie Constable is the really interesting one and not for the first time,” he said on SEN Flip with Kane Cornes.
“But the difference this time is he’s out of contract, the Cats want him to stay and they’ve told him they want to re-sign him and that Joel Selwood is winding down and there’s a seat for him in the future.
“He’s had to be oh so patient with 12 games in four seasons, he’s tearing up the VFL. He tried to orchestrate a trade last year with a year to run on his contract but no suitable offers emerged so he stayed.
“If an offer does come from a rival club, he’s out of there. He will take it and he’s there to be taken from a rival club’s point of view.
“Charlie Constable is a watch this space as the season unfolds.”
Joel Selwood’s corked quad leaves him in doubt to take his place in Geelong’s side to face North Melbourne on Saturday, which could pave the way for Constable’s inclusion.
