Judd names Carlton as preferred AFL club Former West Coast captain Chris Judd has nominated Carlton as his preferred next AFL destination, the Blues said.
Carlton chief executive Greg Swann said the Blues would work through trade negotiations with the Eagles and Judd's manager Paul Connors to complete a deal.
"We are delighted that Chris has seen fit to nominate the Carlton Football Club as his future home at a time when the club is embarking on what will be a new and exciting era," Swann said.
"Now that Chris has selected Carlton, we will formally commence discussions to finalise a trade appropriate to all parties.
"We are extremely confident that we can strike a suitable deal, but are mindful that there is still much to be done to secure Chris's services."
Judd, who quit West Coast two weeks ago, had narrowed his options down to either Carlton or Collingwood.
Carlton have the No.1 and No.3 picks in the national draft and are best placed to arrange a deal with the Eagles.
