Sydney Swans list manager Chris Keane has admitted the club is “disappointed” after forward Jack Buller signalled his intention to leave the club.

Buller joined the Swans with pick 13 in the 2023 mid-season draft and has played 10 games for the club.

His preferred destination is Collingwood with Magpies list boss Justin Leppitsch hoping to land him as soon as possible.

Keane spoke on AFL Trade Radio on Tuesday morning, revealing Sydney’s surprise.

“Jack caught us off guard a bit,” he said.

“We had no indication he was looking at a move. We understand his intention is to get to Collingwood, we will see how that one goes throughout this period. We did everything we could have and we had a compelling offer on the table.

“We are disappointed with it.”

Buller’s desire to move comes with Charlie Curnow’s mooted trade to Sydney, which appears difficult at this stage.

On Nine’s The Trade Off, Matthew Lloyd said a deal similar to Jeremy Cameron’s move to Geelong would be needed.

“I think he stays, looking at the two clubs interested in him, Sydney and potentially Geelong, I don’t see how they do it,” he said.

“I liken it to the Jeremy Cameron deal where you’d want three first round picks and I don’t see how anyone gets that done.”

However, Keane believes there’s “multiple options”.

“If it is players from our club or opposition clubs, we will try and remain pragmatic in terms of what might get a deal done. We will try all options,” he said.
