Snippet in the Herald-Sun in the hardcopy version...CARLTON has identified West Coast backman Matt Spangher as a likely target in next month's trade period. The athletic defender is out-of-contract and, after four years in Perth, is weighing up offers to return home to Victoria.
The athletic defender is out-of-contract and, after four years in Perth, is weighing up offers to return home to Victoria.
After playing the best game of his 18-match career against Richmond in Round 22, the 193cm back-flanker has spent the past week in Melbourne and is yet to commit to the Eagles.
Intent on strengthening its back half as part of an assault on the top four next season, Carlton is understood to be keen on the 22-year-old defender who played TAC Cup for Eastern Ranges.
Hawthorn has also registered its interest in Spangher along with a bevy of other defenders including Josh Gibson, from North Melbourne, Brian Lake, from the Western Bulldogs, and Fremantle's Marcus Drum.
West Coast is intent on keeping Spangher, who it drafted with pick 34 in the 2005 national draft.
