THE Western Bulldogs could spring a pre-season draft surprise by snaring VFL journeyman Brett Goodes on Tuesday.

Goodes, 28, has played in two VFL premierships with North Ballarat and is the brother of Sydney Swans superstar Adam Goodes.

He is also the player welfare manager at Whitten Oval, setting up an intriguing selection dilemma for Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney.

Discarded Essendon midfielder Brent Prismall was considered a certainty to be taken by the Bulldogs after knocking back an offer from Port Adelaide.

But the Dogs yesterday confirmed Goodes, a hard-running defender, remained an option and was locked in a race with Prismall, 26, for a fairytale shot at the AFL.

The Dogs signed former Fremantle player Nick Lower, 25, as a delisted free agent on Monday and have just one more spot to fill.

"Brett, along with a number of other players, has trained with the club in the past couple of weeks, with a view to fill the last remaining spot on our list in the lead-up to Tuesday's drafts," Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney said.

"The club has not yet made a decision on who will fill that spot."

Richmond appears to be warming towards former Geelong player Orren Stephenson as back-up for ruckman Ivan Maric.

The Tigers are likely to select him in the rookie draft.

It means delisted Collingwood ruckman Cameron Wood will be overlooked.

Stephenson, Wood, former Melbourne forward Ricky Petterd and ex-Gold Coast Sun Josh Toy have been training with the Tigers.

Essendon reject Kyle Reimers has walked away from the AFL, knocking back an opportunity to train with Carlton.

Reimers has indicated he will return to Western Australia and play for Peel Thunder in the WAFL.
