CHRIS Tarrant wants to go to West Coast even though cross-town rival Fremantle is leading the race for his services.
While Collingwood is open to offers from anyone for its mercurial forward, Tarrant is adamant the reigning premier is his preferred destination.
Fremantle could use defender Graham Polak to try and lure Tarrant with a three-way deal involving Richmond and Collingwood and an exchange of first-round draft picks.
Polak has walked out on the Dockers and stated his preference is to go to Punt Rd with Carlton his second option. Swann said the Magpies had not yet discussed what they would be asking for in return for Tarrant, but said the offer would have to be "pretty good".
"You put a position on a table and from a club pursuing Chris, they don't want to give you much and from our point of view we expect that a guy who's obviously contracted and an All-Australian footballer that they don't grow on trees," he said. "We're not adverse to players and picks and we'll just see how that goes."
