The Carlton Football Club has today received an end of first round selection, currently pick No. 19, as free agency compensation following the departure of Jack Silvagni. 

As an unrestricted free agent, Silvagni had the right to explore his options at a rival club, without the Blues having an opportunity to match. 

Carlton Head of List Management Nick Austin said the Club was pleased to receive the first-round selection. 

“Acquiring a first-round selection puts our club in a good position as we look to add quality talent to our playing list,” Austin said. 

“We head into the upcoming Trade and Draft period prepared to implement our list management strategy that will see us make decisions that are centred around the best interests of the football club moving forward.”
