Essendon Pursues Gryan Miers in AFL Trade Talks
Essendon is actively engaging in discussions regarding a potential trade for Geelong forward Gryan Miers as the AFL trade deadline nears.
The Bombers are considering what it would take to acquire the 27-year-old, who is under contract with Geelong and has expressed a preference to stay with the team. Essendon's interest has intensified following initial overtures from West Coast, although Miers' manager has indicated that a move to the Eagles is not in the cards.
Essendon has been active in the off-season, trading out players like Zach Merrett and Jordan Ridley while bringing in Jack Bowes from Geelong. The club is looking to enhance its roster with effective ball users to support the development of young player Nate Caddy. Despite concerns about Miers' fitness due to a partially torn ACL, his recent medical evaluation with West Coast suggests he is fit to play.
