Pacy Giant on his bike and off to Dockers

FREMANTLE is set to secure line-breaking Greater Western Sydney defender Nathan Wilson with the Giants prepared to let him go despite another season on his contract.

Wilson will add another level of speed to the Dockers, who boast the Hill brothers and silky half forward Harley Bennell.

The dashing defender has long been linked to the Dockers, but GWS still has salary cap pressures and Wilson has a pregnant partner in Western Australia.

He will join Devon Smith and Matthew Kennedy in leaving the Giants in the off-season trade period.

But Ryan Griffen is a required player, with his management certain he would fulfil his contract despite being linked to Carlton.

The Dockers are confident they will also add Gold Coast half-forward Brandon Matera, with West Coast still chasing Collingwood’s Alex Fasolo.

GWS has paid Josh Kelly $850,000 a season for the next two years, and is seen to be accepting Wilson is heading home.

The Dockers are waiting on a definitive call from Melbourne’s Jesse Hogan, given industry speculation he still might ask for a trade home.

Melbourne is adamant he will stay at the club next year and Fremantle will only chase Hogan if he declares he wants to return to West Australia.

The Demons have all but conceded Jack Watts will move on, with Port Adelaide his likely home.

Watts met Power club officials on Wednesday and Melbourne does not seem to be trying to convince him to stay.

He started the season in the VFL and then was again dropped late in the year, with club leaders indicating he needed to lift his game.

With Sam Weideman coming through and the club also able to push Tom McDonald forward, he might struggle for game time if he stays.

The Demons will secure Jake Lever, who will announce after the grand final his intention to move to Melbourne.

His girlfriend is keen to return to Melbourne to start a family, which means Adelaide can hardly deny his request.
