In a significant signing, Carlton has secured the services of former Port Adelaide small forward Francis Evans, following an impressive pre-season audition. Evans beat out four other contenders, including former No.6 draft pick Denver Grainger-Barras, to earn a spot on the Blues' roster. With his successful trial, Evans is set to join the team after being delisted by Port Adelaide in 2024. This move is expected to bolster Carlton's forward line, bringing in a fresh talent to the Australian Football League. The club's decision comes ahead of the SSP deadline, showcasing their proactive approach to strengthening their squad for the upcoming season, with key terms like AFL trades and player signings being closely watched.
