Collingwood Football Club is not in the business of a rebuild. It's not the way the Magpies have done things in recent years, and they certainly won't do it while generational superstar Nick Daicos is young and on their books.
Being the biggest club in the land is certainly a selling point, but the opportunity to play alongside Daicos is even greater.
So who are the players from across the league that Collingwood will be targeting this trade period to fill up their stocks for another charge at a flag?
George Stevens (Geelong)
Whenever George Stevens is brought back into Geelong's senior side he looks comfortable at the level and his physical presence is noticeable.
The 21-year-old is a tough and gritty midfielder who could potentially do the dirty grunt work while Neale and Daicos add the polish.
Has played only four games since being drafted in 2023 and despite being from Victoria's far west in Warrnambool, he would surely jump at the opportunity for more game time.
Was delisted at the end of last season before being re-drafted to the Cats, meaning he would arrive at the Pies for free and cost them minimal on the salary front.
During one of his two games last season he was put in the coaches votes.
