Greater Western Sydney had been consistent that it would take a first-round pick to nab the contracted defender, but the Blues have managed to get the deal done thanks to a handful of pick slides.
The Blues have picks 13 and 18, but need both to match a bid on father-son Cody Walker, so they were never on the table in a deal for Whitfield.
Carlton land Lachie Whitfield in major AFL trade with GWS Giants
Lachie Whitfield is now a Carlton player after GWS and the Blues completed a trade as the 2026 deadline approaches.
Whitfield has been traded alongside Picks 31 and 50 to Ikon Park, while the Giants pick up Picks 25, 26 and a 2028 third-round pick.
He has signed a three-year deal until the end of 2029, according to AFL Media.

The Blues did put forward a future first-round pick which was tied to Sydney but was seemingly bypassed.
Carlton emerged as Whitfield's most likely destination after the door opened on a potential move away from the Giants.
