CONTRACTED Collingwood premiership star Beau McCreery is the subject of significant trade interest, with rivals believing some Pies players are disgruntled by the club’s recent recruiting raids.

McCreery is contracted to the end of 2027 but has had his head turned by significant rival offers from multiple clubs as Collingwood attempts to secure Blues free agent Jack Silvagni.

Gold Coast is one of the clubs who is in the market for an elite small forward and has asked questions over the future of Bobby Hill, who is adamant he is happy at the Pies.

McCreery is aware of that rival interest as he rehabs a hamstring injury and has not immediately discounted it.

His skillset as a rugged and pacy pressure forward who can also go into the midfield is highly prized across the AFL.

Collingwood will be able to hold firm given McCreery’s contract but the industry sources across the AFL are aware of growing unrest from some Pies players about the state of the list build.

Star ruckman Darcy Cameron has been trying to secure an increased contract all season, while Brody Mihocek has so far rejected the club’s offer of a one-year deal on modest terms.

Scott Pendlebury will re-sign alongside Steele Sidebottom, with Jeremy Howe also happy to play on for a year on a bottom-dollar contract.

But the attempted raid on McCreery is a fascinating sign of the willingness of rivals to test the loyalty of Collingwood stars who have stayed for less.

Collingwood is adamant the Silvagni offer is not about offering more than Carlton, keen for him to cross clubs only for the right reasons to play with friends in a premiership window.

Collingwood used up as much as $1.8m in cap space to secure Harry Perryman and Dan Houston but is determined to continue adding to its list to stay in the premiership window.

The club is yet to offer deals to Tom Mitchell, Mason Cox and Will Hoskin-Elliott, while Jamie Elliott has been offered a two-year deal.

Carlton coach Michael Voss hit out at his premiership teammate Craig McRae on Saturday when he made public his “first date” with Carlton’s Silvagni.

Voss is fully aware players take meetings with rival coaches and has no issue with that trend but believed the publicity over it made it hard for Silvagni to return to the club with his head held high.

The Blues are holding firm on their four-year deal for Silvagni on about $650,000 despite being crestfallen at the ACL tear for first-year defender Harry O’Farrell.

It will significantly compromise their ability to replace Silvagni next year but the Blues are still hoping he might sign their free agency contract.

A lot of speculation there, including how much Pez and Houston are being paid - "as much as $1.8m".
That's just a guess.

This is what I was talking about the other day... people called Edmund a lying journo when he was banging on about Houston, then sung his praises the other day when he shitcanned Ralphy's reporting, now he's back to being a lying journo.

There are so many ambiguities in this article. Ralph's obsession with us is bordering on unprofessional and reminds me of McClure's relentless campaign to convince everyone that West Coast wouldn't take Reid with pick no. 1.

The only way this nonsense stops is if people boycott the media outlets people like Ralph and McClure write/report for, but unfortunately the market here, particularly when it comes to reporting on footy, is immature and a small, closed-shop.

Love his little 'That is a fact' ending. Sounds like he wasn't impressed with Edmund contradicting him on the angst players were supposedly feeling 😆

But is Beau aware of me coming hard for him?

Not sure that information will help keep him at the club, though…
