The AFL landscape has dramatically changed as Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos has reportedly fielded interest from "multiple clubs".
Daicos is contracted until the end of 2029, and would be deemed untouchable given his premier status in the competition and generational links to the Pies.
The 22-year-old has claimed three All-Australian blazers, and has a trifecta of podium finishes in the Brownlow to boot, with plenty more accolades to come.
"Over the past week, my understanding is multiple clubs have reached out both directly to Nick Daicos and to his management about any interest he would have about a move," Twomey said on Gettable Trade Desk.
"He has not been driving this, clubs have reached out - including directly to the player - to gauge his interest."
The question being asked by the rival clubs of Daicos shows the boldness and audacious pitches sides are willing to undergo to improve their list.
Carlton's Charlie Curnow and Essendon's Zach Merrett also fall under this banner, given their lucrative and long-term deals at their respective clubs.
Captains such as Oscar Allen and Merrett have been targeted by contenders in a brash way, which is clearly a sign for the future.
"He is signed until the end of 2029, so I'm not saying Collingwood would in any way entertain this, I'm not saying that he's pushing for a trade, I'm not saying that he's going to be traded," Twomey said.
"But to have clubs reach out to him and his management shows the world we are now in, where nothing and nobody is off limits, and the competition views that anything can be prised open.
"It's noteworthy that clubs are so ambitious now and brazen that even the best player in the competition with four years to run on his deal, a strong deal, is considered fair game and approachable in this way about whether a head can be turned now or into the future."
Tasmania's AFL recruiting team have confirmed they'll 'consider' making a play for Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos if his management keeps the door open for the midfielder to potentially head south in the future.
Daicos himself decided against ruling out a move to the Devils when the competition's 19th club joins the league, recently telling The Age he could be open to joining Tasmania.
The Devils have a link back to Collingwood, with long-term recruiter Derek Hine taking up a role for the AFL's newest team.
Tasmania could enhance any offer for Daicos by utilising a $5 million signing bonus. This money can be used to attract up to 18 out-of-contract players over a two-year period, with a maximum of $3 million available in any single year.
