Essendon great Tim Watson believes Hawthorn won't look to move for gettable Magpies wingman Tom Phillips.
Phillips joins teammates Adam Treloar and Jaidyn Stephenson as being up for grabs for rival clubs, with the 24-year-old linked to the Hawks last week.
Phillips played 15 games in 2020 and remains contracted with Collingwood for the 2021 season.
Speaking onย SEN Breakfast,ย Watson believes Phillips' high salary and the Magpies' reported interest in Hawks forward Jack Gunston could prevent the deal.
โHawthorn wonโt be interested in Collingwoodโs Phillips at that sort of money,โ he said.
โHeโs on $550,000 a year, but the Pies are still sniffing around Jack Gunston so keep an eye on that.โ

Collingwood look keen to shed as much salary as possible this trade period as they battle with little cap room.
