BIG VIC INTEREST IN FREE AGENTDaniel McStay is a free agent in demand, with the Brisbane key forward attracting ample interest from Victorian-based clubs, reports the Herald Sun.
McStay, 26, has played 142 games and kicked 115 goals for the Lions since being drafted with Pick 25 in the 2013 national draft.
The Herald Sun reported McStay had put off contract talks with Brisbane until later in the season, with “almost every Melbourne-based club” inquiring about the key forward’s footy future.
The report indicated if McStay did leave the Lions at season’s end, he would only join a Victorian-based club as he’s originally from Melbourne.
While the Lions have little salary cap wiggle room following their acquisitions of Joe Daniher, Charlie Cameron and Lachie Neale over the past five years, the club is confident McStay will remain in Brisbane considering it’s in the middle of a premiership window.
McStay booted a career-high 28 goals last year, including 17 from his last eight full games.
He kicked 2.2 from 14 disposals and six marks against North Melbourne last weekend.
