The 32-year-old is contracted for another year at the Giants but expected to head back to Victoria this off-season as the club attempts to accelerate its rebuild. Carlton is “in the box seat” to sign the halfback amid interest from clubs like Melbourne and Adelaide. Whitfield is a dual All-Australian and dual best-and-fairest winner , playing 278 games at GWS.
Contracted Adelaide key defender Nick Murray has reportedly decided to leave the club amid major interest from North Melbourne. Murray has requested a trade, which the Crows are expected to play hardball on, given they’re also losing Jordon Butts to the Western Bulldogs. Murray is contracted for another two seasons but has a five-year offer on the table from the Kangaroos, with a Roos future first-round pick floated as the trade return in some media reports.
He has fallen down the pecking order under Matthew Nicks, playing 11 games this season behind Mark Keane, James Borlase and Josh Worrell. Murray has played 78 games across six seasons at the Crows, but never more than 17 in a year, after being picked up as a pre-season supplemental selection before 2021.
