St Kilda has emerged as a suitor for out-of-contract North Melbourne forward Ben Brown, according to AFL Media's Damian Barrett.
The Kangaroos confirmed earlier this week that they will explore trades for the 27-year old in the off-season as his seven-year stint at Arden Street comes to an end.
Brisbane, Essendon and Melbourne have already been touted as potential landing spots for Brown, with no genuine links yet made.
Collingwood is another club who've been crying out for a reliable key forward for years and could lodge interest.
Prior to his injury-riddled 20220 campaign, Brown kicked more than 60 goals in each of the previous three seasons.
Speaking on AFL Mediaโs Footy Feed, Barrett believes that Brown is likely to land at a finals contender this off-season, with the Saints looming as a destination.
โItโs going to be at a club thatโs either in the finals next year, or one projecting to be in the finals next year,โ Barrett said on AFL Mediaโs Footy Feed.
โIโd be watching this space on St Kilda. While people will say theyโve got (Rowan) Marshall and (Ben) King and (Paddy) Ryder coming in to help out there, King still needs some support.
โIโm not locking him in there, but theyโre a club whoโs active in this space. Heโs gettable now officially ... Iโd be keen to see what theyโre gonna do once they come out of the finals this year.โ
