Another massive trade coup could be in the winds for West Coast, with suggestions star North Melbourne ruckman Todd Goldstein has had a medical with the Eagles.

WAtoday columnist and Radio 6PR commentator Brad Hardie said on the Sports Today program that he had been told both Goldstein and Geelong big man Nathan Vardy had the rule run over them by West Coast medicos.

Following the bombshell trade of four-time Hawthorn premiership midfielder Sam Mitchell to West Coast, the talk around All-Australian Goldstein gained momentum on Friday after a source close to the Kangaroos told WAtoday he wanted out of the Roos because of a personal issue and was seriously considering moving west.

Hardie says the potential trade has now gone further than just discussions, although fellow WAtoday football writer and Sports Today co-host Kim Hagdorn maintained it would be close to impossible for the Eagles to fit Goldstein inside an already tight salary cap squeeze.
