Wells is weighing up an approach from Collingwood which will give him at least a two-year deal. North Melbourne has a two-year deal on the table for Wells but earlier this week was not confident of retaining the midfielder.

The thought of Daniel Wells weighing up between North and Collingwood is a sad one.

Because you'd be tying up all that cap space on him for such a risky and injury prone player.
He's obviously not ok with what we've offered him, so you'd have to be offering him more to get him over there. Say at least 1M over 2 years. That's a lot of coin for someone who potentially won't play many games.
