For the third time in four seasons, Greater Western Sydney are facing another player exodus as their salary cap overflows. | By Sam McClure agerealfooty

Left to right: GWS Giants’ Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto; Collingwood’s Jordan De Goey and Brodie Grundy.He is considering lucrative proposals from both Geelong and Richmond, who are both looking to stay in the hunt for premierships in the near future. There may be a third option, with Adelaide expressing interest.

The Magpies are ready to listen to offers for the bad-boy free agent Jordan De Goey and All-Australian ruckman Brodie Grundy, who has a whopping five years left on his contract at an average of $1 million per season. The Cats are showing strong interest in Hopper, while they are also keeping a close eye on Bruhn, a first-round draft pick from two years ago who grew up in Geelong.Grundy, originally from South Australia, is desperate to stay in Victoria having recently purchased a property with his partner.

The inevitable departures of Taranto and Hopper would be another devastating blow for the Giants, who for years have been forced to trade talented players due to an overflowing salary cap.Hopper, on the other hand, is a product of the Giants academy and hails from the small town of Leeton in southern New South Wales.
