Essendon are keen to build on their 2017 trade period, and are once again linked to a big fish.
After landing Jake Stringer, Devon Smith and Adam Saad last season, the Bombers are out to further strengthen their side, with the Herald Sun's Sam Edmund telling SEN the club are in for a big name.
โYour (Tim Watson) club (Essendon) getting linked to a whole heap of players yesterday that has been hard to establish,โ Edmund toldย SEN Breakfast.
โI canโt say because it wouldnโt be fair to just float, it just wouldnโt be.
โContracted superstar from an interstate club, put it that way.โ
The player in question could well be Dylan Shiel, with the star Giant linked to a move back home to Victoria this off-season.
Essendon are believed to be in talks with Shiel, while Carlton also loom as a potential destination for the 25-year-old.
