“Jaeger has indicated he wants to be at Hawthorn in 2017 and we are keen to make this happen.

“We fully respect that Jaeger is a Gold Coast player and we will work closely with the Suns in the lead up to the trade period to ensure we can get an appropriate deal done.”

The club will make no further comment at this time.
