Carlton has confirmed midfielder Sam Petrevski-Seton has requested a trade to the West Coast Eagles.
The 23-year-old has shown glimpses of his potential while at the Blues but has struggled to hold down a role in Carlton’s best team, being dropped on multiple occasions this season and also played out of position at times.
He is out of contract but does not yet qualify for free agency, meaning the Eagles would need to trade for the young Blue if they want to acquire his services.
The former number six draft pick played 94 games with Carlton, including 13 in 2021, averaging 15 disposals a game.
Carlton’s head of football Brad Lloyd confirmed the request on Tuesday.
“Sam has officially requested a trade: we will now work with the West Coast Eagles Football Club and Sam’s management to finalise the deal,” he said in a club statement.
Carlton are currently without a head coach, however Michael Voss is the favourite to take the role in the coming weeks.
