Overview

• Cal Twomey of AFL.com.au reported the Saints will not pursue Aleer during the current trade period.
• Aleer had requested a move to Moorabbin after GWS’s finals exit and was expected to take up a four-year deal.
• Manager Dylan Smith says Aleer is livid and claims St Kilda backflipped due to draft-pick constraints, adding no one from the club has spoken to the player.
• GWS is reported to have a new multi-year offer on the table, with earlier reporting of a two-year proposal and suggestions of a three-year deal now in play.
• The Saints have prioritized other list moves in recent days, signing Tom De Koning, Jack Silvagni and Sam Flanders, with Liam Ryan requesting a trade to the club and Callum Wilkie re-signing.
