Daniel Bradshaw and Michael Rischitelli, the two Brisbane players linked in a possible trade with Carlton in exchange for Brendan Fevola, flew to Melbourne today to meet with Carlton officials.

They met with Carlton hierarchy including Coach Brett Ratten, a number of the Assistant Coaches and members of the Football Department before having a tour of the redevelopment currently under construction at Visy Park. Carlton players Jarrad Waite and Kade Simpson also met with Bradshaw and Rischitelli along with new Carlton recruit Brock McLean (who played junior football with Rischitelli at Keilor).

Brett Ratten said it was important to meet the players to discuss the plans going forward.

“It was a good opportunity to meet the two players and for them to have a look at the facilities as well as meet some of the people here at Carlton. They were both impressed with the new facilities, and who wouldn’t be. We will continue our discussions with Daniel and Michael and will advise our members and supporters on Friday when we will have more news.”

Carlton will join all clubs at Etihad Stadium tomorrow, Friday October 9, for meeting on the final day of the AFL Exchange Period. All paper work for trades must be completed and lodged by 2:00pm tomorrow.
