Three-time Coleman Medal winner Matthew Lloyd has ranked four of the biggest open market key forwards for the upcoming exchange period.

Joe Daniher, Jesse Hogan, Peter Wright and Ben Brown are all tipped to leave their respective clubs, with rival sides circling to fill any voids in their forward third.

Daniher is set to join Brisbane after exercising his free agency rights, while Brown, Hogan and Wright are all believed to be gettable this off-season.

Speaking onย AFL Trade Radio,ย the Essendon champion ranked the four spearheads value.

1. Joe Daniher

โ€œI still believe he can be a top-10 player in the game if he can get his body right.

โ€œWith a fresh start at Brisbane he could help them win a premiership next year because heโ€™s massive upgrade on (Daniel) McStay and (Eric) Hipwood, as good as Hipwood is developing.โ€

2. Ben Brown

โ€œI think that Ben is limited. If I was Adam Ramanauskas (manager), I would be really looking at how teams move the ball.

โ€œBen is a good hard straight-line lead, heโ€™s not like Nick Riewoldt who can do figure eights, lose his player with second and third leads.

โ€œTo me, he needs the ball coming in fast and with space in front of him.

โ€œYou need quick ball movement, I think Ben Brown could kick 45 (goals) for Geelong for example, the way that Tom Hawkins gets hit up and the way their system works, he would be a fantastic player there.โ€

3. Peter Wright

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t take Peter Wright or Jesse Hogan at my footy club.โ€

4. Jesse Hogan

โ€œJesse Hogan is a better player than Peter Wright, but Iโ€™d go Peter Wright at three and Jesse Hogan at four just because of the question marks on Hogan and his off-field issues.โ€
