GWS defender Harry Perryman is set to receive big rival offers this off-season as an unrestricted free agent, reports AFL Media’s Cal Twomey.
The 25-year-old, who hails from the NSW Riverina region, was chased by Port Adelaide in 2020 and Twomey says that the Power are keen on the versatile player’s services again in 2024.
Twomey expects clubs to stump up top dollar for the 111-gamer given they won’t need to give up any assets to pick him up in a trade.
“He’s facing a big call, does he stay loyal at the Giants or take up a significant rival offer?” Twomey asked on AFL Media’s Gettable.
“He’s an unrestricted free agent, the nature of that has meant that clubs are willing to put up more cash because he can walk to them.
“He’s not a restricted player, so the Giants don’t have the option to match.
“Port Adelaide had interest in him in 2020 and again are among the clubs with interest in him this time around as an unrestricted free agent and there are a few (clubs).
“The interesting part with him is that I think clubs will be pushing this pretty hard.
“They know he’s a player who is unrestricted and he’s got some versatility.
“It’s fair to say there are teams willing to pay Perryman to get him to the other side.”
While he’ll no doubt receive some nice offers from rivals, Twomey’s co-host Riley Beveridge says that GWS are desperate to keep their man and have already tabled him a new long-term deal to stay.
“The Giants are desperate to keep him as well,” Beveridge said.
“They’ve offered him a long-term deal to stay at the moment but he’s weighing up a few different things.”
Perryman is averaging 17 disposals, five marks and 3.3 rebound 50s a game in 2024 so far.
