Carlton won’t remain stagnant as a significant roster turnover takes place this off-season, with the club launching a bid to steal a young midfielder from West Coast.<\/p>\n

Campbell Chesser<\/a> will now have two offers to consider entering free agency, as\u00a07 News’\u00a0Mitch Cleary reported on Tuesday that the 22-year-old is now garnering attention from the Blues despite having a two-year deal on the table from West Coast.<\/p>\n

Essendon have reportedly also “expressed a level of interest” in Chesser, though the Blues are deemed to be frontrunners to acquire his talents, should he depart Western Australia.<\/p>\n

The Sandringham Dragons<\/a> product has played 36 AFL<\/a> games in his career, but featured in only four fixtures in 2025 due to an ankle injury that he elected to have surgery on in February.<\/p>\n

Chesser was in career-best form across those four matches, however, averaging 16.8 disposals, 2.3 clearances and 3.3 marks per game. He also excelled while returning through the WAFL, collecting 20-plus disposals on three occasions.<\/p>\n
