In the wake of recent reports, it appears that Western Bulldogs winger Lachie Hunter may be weighing up his future at the club, with the idea of a fresh start elsewhere on the cards.
A hard-running left footer, Hunter has struggled with consistency in recent seasons after being a regular since his debut in 2013.
The 27-year-old played just 10 games this year after taking indefinite leave early in the season due to personal matters, averaging 19.5 disposals, 5.4 marks and 2.6 tackles per game.
A part of the famous 2016 premiership side, Hunter has played 173 games for the Bulldogs and despite having two years left on his current deal, he could look elsewhere for a refresh to continue his career.
In no particular order, we've compiled a list of five potential clubs that could look at Hunter for 2023 beyond should he choose depart Whitten Oval in next week's trade period.
5. GWS Giants
It seems GWS could be linked to almost every midfielder on the market given the looming exodus of key midfield figures such as Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper and Tanner Bruhn.
With Hunter potentially on the market, he could be a great fit for Giants, who will enter a new era under senior coach Adam Kingsley.
At 27, Hunter is still in a perfect age bracket for most sides and with midfield spots open at the Giants, he could slot straight in as an experienced wingman with a fresh mindset to compete.
The move would also provide an escape from Victoria, if he wishes, and could be a great landing spot as the Giants seek a return to the finals after a disappointing 2022 campaign.
