Collingwood forward Jaidyn Stephenson is reportedly "gettable" for rival clubs in the upcoming trade window, according to SEN's Sam Edmund.
The exciting goal-sneak was omitted from Collingwood's Monday night lineup to face the Gold Coast Suns, with questions arising around his playing future at the Holden Centre.
“I think he’s gettable and in the shop window,” Edmund said.
“Whether other clubs are willing to go for him remains to be seen, there’s been a few murmurs and rumouring about off-field behaviour and discipline and I think other clubs think he’s gettable.
“Whether they take the plug or not is a whole other conversation.”
Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes said a "lot of clubs" would be chasing Stephenson's signature back in June, with the out-of-favour forward still showing plenty of promise.
Stephenson remains contracted to the Magpies until the end of 2021, with the club under a salary strain heading into the upcoming off-season, with stars Jordan De Goey and Darcy Moore without a contract for next season.
Stephenson has kicked 12 goals from 11 games this season.
