Smith has long been linked to Essendon and Carlton.

As reported in the Herald Sun last week, Smith has toured both club’s facilities.

Collingwood are keen on the forward while St Kilda is also in the mix.

Guy said he thinks Smith will decide on his destination within the next week.

“We are hoping (to have a decision) by the end of this week if not early next week so we can move pretty quickly once we know which direction he wants to take,” Smith’s manager Guy told AFL Trade Radio.

“A big one for Devon is the player management and how they manage the players back through rehab. He was in a race against time to get back for the prelim final and just missed out.”

Landing Smith would be another big win for the Blues who have also secured one Giant this trade period.

Matthew Kennedy committed to Carlton on Tuesday.
