The Blues have secured a deal for GWS midfielder Will Setterfield.
Carlton will receive Setterfield and pick 71, and have handed the Giants pick 43 and a 2019 second round pick.
In the 2016 NAB AFL Draft Carlton made GWS match their bid for the 190cm on baller but they have brought in their man two years later.
The 20-year-old has only managed to play two games for the club due to a number of injuries throughout his two years there.
โWe kept a close eye on Will during the under-18 competitions and rated him really highly heading into the 2016 draft, so weโre rapt heโll pull on the navy blue next year,โ Silvagni said.
โSecuring Will strengthens our midfield and at 20 years old, although heโs a bit younger in terms of the age bracket we are targeting, heโs an excellent talent who will grow and learn alongside Patrick Cripps, Marc Murphy, Paddy Dow and Zac Fisher.
โUnfortunately, in his first two years of senior footy heโs had a tough run with injury, but with the addition of Andrew Russell to our high-performance team, weโre confident weโll be able to get his body right and tailor a fitness program for him.
โIโd like to thank the Giants for their cooperation throughout the process. We understood that Will had another two years left to run on his contract, so weโre pleased GWS were open to reaching a deal that benefitted both clubs.โ
