Out-of-favour Melbourne forward Tom McDonald is "officially up for grabs" according to journalist Sam McClure.
McDonald struggled to fill a role in Simon Goodwin's side this season and despite having two more years on his contract, the 28-year-old is likely to depart the Demons.
Speaking onย Sportsday, McClure suggested that McDonald's future with Melbourne is in the balance.
โTom McDonald is officially up for grabs,โ he said.
โHeโs got two years left on his deal, the Magpies have reached out and just asked some questions. Iโm not sure whether theyโll be the ones he eventually goes to ... I donโt think heโll be at Melbourne next year.โ
Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy added to the report, believing there to be a rift between both parties.
โI think theyโve made their minds up. It sounds like that relationship is just about broken,โ he said.
โHeโs moving and theyโre happy for him to move ... it looks to me like heโs just lost that confidence that he had.
โMaybe heโs destined to return to the backline. Iโm not sure where Collingwood see him fitting in but they recruited Jeremy Howe as a forward and turned him into one of the great defenders of the last five or six years.โ
