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.
2. St Kilda
Should he wish to remain in Victoria, the Saints could be the perfect spot for Hunter to continue his career in 2023 and beyond.
In similar fashion to the Dockers, St Kilda appear set to lose running pair Brad Hill and Hunter Clark this off-season and Hunter would be a perfect, cheap alternative to slot into the side.
While he might not be as much of a walk-in starter as he would be at the other clubs on this list, at the very least he would provide more competition and depth for the wing position at St Kilda.
With fellow left-footer Mason Wood largely operating on the left wing at the Saints, Hunter could come in to slot in that position to allow Wood to roam either back or forward when needed on that left side.
Definitely a side to keep an eye on for Hunter's footballing future.
