It is still unclear how Luke Hodge will make his way to the Lions, with the two clubs yet to reach an agreement midway through the trade period.
“The Lions are going to come back to us later in the week, so probably Wednesday or Thursday,” List and Recruiting Manager Graham Wright said on Monday afternoon.
“We’re hopeful of having something done during that time.”
Wright says the delay isn’t a matter of either party playing hardball, but rather a waiting game to see how other trades play out.
“I think there’s goodwill on both sides to try and get something done so we’re waiting to see what that is.”
If a deal doesn’t get completed before the 2pm cut off on Thursday, Hodge will need to nominate for the 2018 pre-season draft, for which the Lions hold Pick 1, in order to find his way north.
Watch the above interview for an update on Billy Hartung, and Wright’s expectations for the remainder of trade period.
