\n Port Adelaide has received Corey Durdin and a 2026 second round pick in a three-team deal with Carlton and Gold Coast.\n <\/p>\n
Port Adelaide has secured Carlton\u2019s Corey Durdin and a future second-round pick on day five of the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a deal involving both Carlton and Gold Coast, Port Adelaide has given picks 29 and 67, and receives Carlton\u2019s 2026 second-round draft pick. Gold Coast\u2019s Ben Ainsworth also lands at the Blues as part of the completed trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Durdin was a second-round selection in the 2020 national draft, arriving at Carlton with pick 37 from Central District in the SANFL.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A handy small forward, the 23-year-old is known for his high work-rate, contest work and goal sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He received a Rising Star nomination in Round 9, 2022 where he collected 19 disposals, eight contested possessions, five score involvements and two goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2022, Durdin was awarded Carlton\u2019s best young player, earning a consistent place in the side in his second season of AFL footy. \u00a0<\/p>\n
He played 16 games in 2025, and earned himself two mark of the year nominations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps was pleased to complete the trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis trade assists with our overall strategy of prioritising an increase in draft capital for the 2026 National Draft during this trade and draft period,\u201d Cripps said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCorey had expressed his desire to return home to South Australia and we saw it as a great opportunity to add some depth to our forwards group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is strong in the air and at ground level, and has a good balance of offence and defence in his game\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking forward to welcoming Corey to Alberton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
