Dangerous forward Mitch Hannan has expressed an interest in calling VU Whitten Oval home in 2021.

The former VFL Bulldog has played 50 games for Melbourne since being recruited from the ‘Scray with pick 46 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft.

List boss Sam Power said the Bulldogs would look to facilitate a deal in the upcoming AFL Trade Period.

“Mitch has indicated he’d like to cross over,” the Bulldogs’ general manager of list and recruiting said.

“We have to work through that with Melbourne and what a trade looks like, which we’ll do over the next week.” 

The 26-year-old played nine games at AFL level in 2020, kicking seven goals.
