Collingwood’s Wil Parker to join Carlton while West Coast circle Geelong star Gryan Miers
Delisted Collingwood defender Wil Parker will join Carlton as early as November 2 on a two-year deal, according to gun 7NEWS reporter Tom Morris.
Parker — a former leg-spin bowler for Victoria who also played in the BBL for the Hobart Hurricanes — was delisted by the Magpies on September 1, along with second-round draft pick Jakob Ryan, 26-gamer Lachie Sullivan, mid-season draftee Mitch Podhajski, defender Joel Cochran and ruckman Iliro Smit.
Following his cricket career, Parker joined the Magpies in 2023 as a Category B Rookie.
While his foot skills have impressed, he’s only managed 14 AFL games since his debut in 2024, including five this year.
Delisted Collingwood defender to join unique Pies-to-Blues club
Delisted Collingwood defender Wil Parker is set to become the seventh Pie to make the arch-rival switch to Carlton.
Parker was farewelled by the Pies at the end of the 2026 season after 14 games in three seasons following his Category B Rookie listing.
The cricket convert is set to continue his AFL career at the Blues, with Channel Seven reporting he'll sign at Ikon Park as a delisted free agent on a two-year deal from November 2.
Parker will slot into Carlton's defence as they look to bolster their rebounding stocks.
