Sportsday newsman Tom Morris revealed some interesting news surrounding the speculation that Dayne Beams could be returning to Victoria.

Former Collingwood star Beams remains contracted and was born in Queensland, but remains linked to a move back to Melbourne.

“If Dayne Beams elects to leave Brisbane and gets a trade as the Brisbane Lions will have to give him, if he does request it, I think he’s going to Essendon,” Morris told Sportsday.

“I believe Essendon are the frontrunners to get him if indeed a trade is granted.

“All I know is Essendon’s into him and he’s receptive to that.

“If he does come back to Victoria, I believe Essendon will be the club where he goes.”

Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy has no doubt the Bombers would be interested.

“Speaking to those in and around Essendon, there’s no doubt they are desperate for another midfielder with pace and skill,” he said.
