Stevens may be training with the Blues next week
From the article...
"Stevens will nominate for the pre-season draft as early as this Saturday to be able to commence training with Carlton next week.
Stevens and Carlton have received advice from the AFL that after Saturday's national draft a nomination for the pre-season draft will automatically remove Stevens from Port Adelaide's list.
In effect, he will become a free agent, a delisted player able to nominate a club to train with until he officially finds a new home on December 16.
Unsurprisingly, that club will be Carlton, which is understood to have a four-year deal awaiting his signature. The Western Bulldogs have committed their first selection in the pre-season draft to former Hawk Jade Rawlings.
Once Stevens nominates, Carlton will have to resubmit its playing list to the AFL with the addition of his name and a guarantee of intent to select the 23-year-old in December. If this process is completed swiftly, Stevens could be training with the Blues by next Wednesday.
Carlton media manager Ian Coutts said he did not believe Stevens would be able to don a Blues singlet before then, but Stevens's manager, Max Stevens, confirmed that "sooner rather than later" was the plan."
No surprises here really... see ya!
