Of the three, it\u2019s going to be the hardest to get done, but that\u2019s where he wants to be first,\u201d Barrett added.<\/p>\n \u201cBut one of the other two, I think, by the close of the trade period will have executed to a deal to get him.\u201d<\/p>\n FLANDERS TO MEET WITH FOUR CLUBS<\/p>\n Sam Flanders will meet with four Victorian clubs next week as he pursues a move away from Gold Coast.<\/p>\n Flanders has told the Suns of his wish to be traded, despite the Victorian being contracted until 2027.<\/p>\n AFL Media\u2019s Callum Twomey reports the 24-year old is set to meet with St Kilda, Melbourne, Carlton and Essendon next week as he settles on where he wants to play in 2026.<\/p>\n Merrett saga now ‘full blown civil war’ | 04:26<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll believe he\u2019ll met with all four of those clubs next week as part of this process,\u201d Twomey said on <\/a>Gettable<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAlready had communication with (new Demons coach) Steven King, who\u2019s obviously his former assistant coach and former head coach at the Suns for a short period and played great footy with him.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s on the move, he\u2019s going to be in Victoria next year. It\u2019s just about where is the best option for him.\u201d<\/p>\n The midfielder and former Pick 11 is set to command a first-round selection in a trade.<\/p>\n The Suns have dug their heels in on a Flanders trade given he\u2019s contracted. However netting an extra first-round pick would help the club gain draft points for its looming academy draftees.<\/p>\n \u201cSam expressed an interest in exploring other opportunities for next year at today\u2019s exit meeting,\u201d Suns list manager Craig Cameron said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever we have reiterated to Sam that he is a contracted player with our football club and part of our best 23 players\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Curnow\u2019s trade preference order has been revealed.
