Brisbane Lion Callum Ah Chee is set to jump ship to rival premiership contender the Adelaide Crows in the upcoming trade period.
Last month, Ah Chee was believed to be weighing up interest from both Adelaide and West Coast.
But on Wednesday, AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey confirmed Ah Chee will seek a move to the Crows over the Eagles, despite the 27-year-old being born in Western Australia.

"He's keen to get to Adelaide. I expect that we'll see a trade request as soon as Brisbane's season finishes," Twomey said on Gettable.
"Now I think if you're Brisbane you're almost budgeting on him moving given they've got (Sam) Draper, (Oscar) Allen and maybe Jordan Ridley coming on board."
Ah Chee previously moved to the Lions from Gold Coast ahead of the 2020 season.
He has become a regular in Chris Fagan's side, featuring in both of the club's Grand Final appearances in the previous two years, including their triumph last September.
In 2023, Ah Chee signed a two-year extension with the Lions to bring his contract through to the end of this year.
Despite being out-of-contract at the end of the season, he isn't a free agent, having only played six years at the Lions. Therefore, he will need to request a trade.
The Crows are expected to be one of the biggest wildcards in the upcoming trade period, after registering some level of interest in both Christian Petracca and Zach Merrett.
