Collingwood young gun Jaidyn Stephenson isn't the only Magpie on North Melbourne's radar.
According to multiple reports, Tom Phillips and Atu Bosenavulagi are also players of interest for the Kangaroos.
SEN's Sam Edmund is reporting that North Melbourne are "considering making a play" for Phillips, who is contracted until the end of next season.
Hawthorn have also been linked to Phillips, but the Pies are reportedly not keen to contribute a significant amount to his salary.
Collingwood are reportedly exploring a package deal involving Phillips and Stephenson with North Melbourne.
The Ageย reported last night that the Kangaroos are a "strong chance" to complete a trade with Collingwood for Bosenavulagi, who made his AFL debut this year and played three senior games.
Both the Pies and Roos are expected to be active players in the remaining hours of the AFL trade period.
The trade deadline is at 7.30pm AEST.
NORTH Melbourne have expressed their interest in Tom Phillips. There's plenty of work to do, but the Roos are considering making a play for the Collingwood winger, who has a year to run on Pies contract. For a side without a senior coach North have been active!

Tom Phillips an option at North Melb because Collingwood aren't happy with Hawks paying only 350k of his 500k a year deal & so went to Roos. Pies suggesting a package deal of Phillips & Stephenson in their latest fire sale attempt. Treloar to Dogs still locked due to $ difference
