Carlton Proposes Enhanced Offer for GWS Defender Lachie Whitfield

Carlton has submitted an improved trade offer for GWS veteran Lachie Whitfield, including a future first-round pick linked to Sydney, as the 2026 AFL trade period approaches its deadline.

Whitfield has emerged as a likely target for Carlton after discussions about his potential departure from the Giants. Although he has one year left on his contract, he is reportedly interested in joining Carlton.

The Blues are prepared to exchange a future top pick along with other options for Whitfield, including Picks 25 and 26, and have proposed a swap involving either Pick 28 or 31. With a busy draft night ahead, Carlton aims to secure father-son prospect Cody Walker while navigating their draft strategy.
