Former Richmond and Adelaide forward Tyson Stengle is reportedly on Collingwood's radar ahead of the 2021 Mid-Season Draft.
As reported byย The Herald Sun'sย Chris Cavanagh, the Magpies could use one of their two available list spots to hand the 22-year-old an AFL lifeline.
The Crows cut ties with the promising forward earlier this year after three separate indiscretions across an eight month period that placed the club in disrepute.

Richmond have already been linked to the Woodville-West Torrens star, with Collingwood the latest club now eager for Stengle's services.

Stengle is still required to nominate for the Mid-Season Draft, along with former teammates Riley Knight and Jordan Gallucci.
Speaking onย SENย last week, AFL draft analyst Cal Twomey said Stengle would likely be a highly-coveted prospect for the Mid-Season Draft on June 2.
โTyson Stengle is a player who will be looked at by clubs, thereโs no doubt about that,โ Twomey said.
โThereโs a view that he is the most talented player outside the AFL system right now.
โDoes a club give him his third chance at AFL level? Heโs a prospect."
Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes urged the Magpies to move for Stengle when offering a left-field recruitment concept for the club last month.
โI reckon if I was Collingwood, Iโd be having a close look at Tyson Stengle in the Mid-Season Draft,โ Cornes said onย SEN.ย
โLet go by Adelaide, I know heโs got significant issues, but heโs playing SANFL footy over here (in Adelaide) and has been training.
โHe is a player they can add for nothing into the forward line with some speed and goalkicking prowess."
With the current ladder order, the Magpies would hold the third overall selection in the Rookie Draft, following the top selections of North Melbourne and Hawthorn.
According toย News Corp,ย the Blues are also keeping tabs on Stengle, but would need to open up a list spot to enter the Mid-Season Draft.
Stengle played a total of 16 AFL games between his stints with Adelaide and Richmond, booting 15 goals.
