Marshall wanted a move to Geelong in last year's trade period but the Saints held firm on the contracted big man, who still has one year remaining on his deal at Moorabbin.

Twelve months on, and with Tom De Koning the club's preferred No.1 ruck option, Marshall is again seeking a move, despite playing 21 games for St Kilda this year.

The Saints said the 30-year-old has not nominated a preferred destination but he is again eyeing a move to Geelong

The Western Bulldogs, who are adamant they aren't trading Tim English, and Essendon have also shown an interest in Marshall.

In a statement released on Tuesday morning, St Kilda said "any trade will need to be in the best interests of the St Kilda Football Club".
