Fremantle Sends Liam Reidy to Carlton in Late Pick Swap

The move gives him a chance at senior ruck minutes after limited opportunities behind Fremantle's established pair.

Overview

  • Fremantle traded Reidy and picks 53 and 71 to Carlton for picks 50 and 68 in the first deal of the trade period.
  • Reidy requested a return to Victoria after three AFL games in three seasons at the Dockers.
  • At Carlton, he is set to compete with Marc Pittonet following the Blues’ loss of Tom De Koning to St Kilda via free agency.
  • Reidy, drafted as a 2022 rookie, starred for Peel Thunder, helping win the 2024 WAFL premiership and claiming the club’s fairest and best this season.
  • Fremantle remain active, with Will Brodie seeking a move to Port Adelaide and out-of-contract defender Judd McVee requesting a trade back to WA with the Dockers as his preferred destination.
