The Suns are holding some appeal for the (out-of-contract) forward; he is an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, so he could move north.<\/p>\n \u201cHe had a good look at Brisbane (in 2022) … his family is still there (and) he spent a lot of his childhood in Queensland, so there is no doubt that they hold some appeal for him. Collingwood are aware of this, the Suns are also aware of it.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019s got a school of thought that the warmer weather might extend his career as well. I\u2019m not sure what the Gold Coast offer would be, because it hasn\u2019t got to that.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Suns are monitoring it.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking on Fox Footy\u2019s Midweek Tackle, Jon Ralph revealed the Suns\u2019 interest in fellow Pie Beau McCreery, who unlike Elliott, is in contract.<\/p>\n \u201cBeau McCreery is being heavily scouted by rival clubs. He\u2019s contracted until 2027, Collingwood will say he\u2019s going nowhere (but) Gold Coast right now is a club that\u2019s really being aggressive,\u201d Ralph said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve had an ask about Bobby Hill, they\u2019re desperate for that small forward replacement for Izak Rankine … McCreery is aware of the interest. He\u2019s not saying yes or no, he hasn\u2019t ruled out that move.\u201d<\/p>\n The 24-year-old inked a four-year deal at Collingwood back in July 2023, meaning any potential move north this year must be completed via a trade. <\/p>\n Hill in doubt, Howe to return for Pies | 00:56<\/p>\n \u2018TALK OF THE INDUSTRY\u2019: FRUSTRATIONS CONTINUE TO BOIL AT JUGGERNAUT <\/p>\n Amid the pursuit of Beau McCreery and Jamie Elliott by Gold Coast, key figures at the Magpies remain \u201ccranky\u201d with the club\u2019s negotiating of their contracts. <\/p>\n North of 15 players are still yet to sign deals to keep them in the black and white beyond 2025, with just three rounds left of the home-and-away season.<\/p>\n Premiership ruckman Darcy Cameron is one of several reportedly displeased with Collingwood\u2019s unwillingness to extend his current deal, while forward Brody Mihocek isn\u2019t expected to accept the club\u2019s current one-year offer on the table. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the talk of the industry; everyone out there is aware of the fact there are some cranky Pies,\u201d Midweek Tackle\u2019s Jon Ralph said on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of those Pies \u2014 like Scott Pendlebury and Jeremy Howe \u2014 who are absolutely happy to sign modest deals.\u201d<\/p>\n
