Marshall Picks Saints; Whitfield Race Heats Up
1 Oct
Summary
- Young midfielder Sam Marshall has chosen St Kilda as his preferred club.
- Lachie Whitfield trade speculation sees Carlton as the favorite.
- Melbourne reportedly cools interest in Whitfield due to asking price.
Out-of-contract Brisbane midfielder Sam Marshall has reportedly chosen St Kilda as his preferred trade destination. The 20-year-old, a Brisbane Academy product, played two senior games this past season. Marshall was reportedly deciding between the Saints and Essendon, ultimately favouring St Kilda. As he is not eligible for free agency, a trade agreement between the clubs will be necessary.
Meanwhile, the pursuit of Lachie Whitfield has taken a notable turn, with Carlton now considered the heavy favourite. Melbourne, another interested club, is reportedly reassessing its interest due to the Giants' demanding trade price. Whitfield, who has a year remaining on his contract with GWS, is open to a move. The Demons are unwilling to meet the Giants' request for a top-20 pick, potentially paving the way for Carlton to secure the dual All-Australian.
