Sydney star Chad Warner is remaining impartial about his future as, in his words, is set to make the biggest decision of his career.
It has been widely documented that Warner will field monster contract offers from West Coast and Fremantle, two clubs from his home state.
Amid the noise, there is a very good chance that the budding midfielder remains at the Swans.
However, following his second grand final defeat in three years, Warner is smelling the roses in New South Wales, saying he's "enjoying" his time in Sydney.
"I'm obviously out of contract and just enjoying Sydney at the moment, to be honest. I'm very open to everything," Warner said according to AFL Media.
"It's obviously a big decision that I've got to make this year and I obviously want to make the right decisions, that's why I'm very open-minded and chilled about it.
"It's all up in the air. At the moment I just want to keep my options and my mind as open as it can be, to be honest.

"The one thing that I do know the most is that I love playing with these boys and love playing in Sydney so I don't want to make the wrong decision either way.
"I'm just playing the year and seeing how it goes."
It has been reported that Warner has "met" with Eagles officials, with the contents of that meeting unknown.
The 23-year-oldย had met with West Coast CEO Don Pykeย and former teammateย Kieren Jackย on the golf course,ย with the latter joining the club in an off-field role earlier in 2024.
It is also understood that Warner purchased a home in the Perth suburb of Applecross, which is placed ironically in between Fremantle and Eagles headquarters.
In recent years, both Luke Jackson and Liam Baker made the same decision to explore real estate options in Perth before eventually heading across the Nullarbor.
Could this be the same?
