Port keen on Swan and Giant

PORT Adelaide has “extreme interest” in wantaway Swan Jordan Dawson and is also eyeing GWS forward Jeremy Finlayson, whose partner is from South Australia.

Dawson (pictured), who finished third in Sydney’s best and fairest this season, requested a trade home to SA on Friday but was yet to nominate a club.

Hailing from Robe in the state’s southeast, the 24-yearold half-back/wingman, has played 64 games for the Swans since being drafted from Sturt with pick 56 in 2015.

Finlayson is contracted at the Giants until the end of 2023 but he and his partner are understood to be considering a move to Adelaide after having a baby last month.

The 25-year-old remained in Queensland with his partner for the pregnancy and did not travel with the club late in the season or play in either of its finals.

Port Adelaide football manager Chris Davies said the club did not typically start negotiations with players until it knew they wanted to come to the club.

Davies said Dawson had a fantastic year and the Power believed he could complement an area of the ground it needed to work on.
