CARLTON AFLW captain Bri Davey wants out of the club.

In a sensational move that is set to send rival clubs scrambling, Davey is set to inform the Blues she wishes to play for another AFLW team in 2019.

Foxfooty.com.au understands North Melbourne and Collingwood are the front runners to secure her services.

The shock news comes just hours after Carlton announced coach Damien Keeping had parted ways with the club after a second underwhelming season.

If the Blues are to receive anything in return for Davey, they would need to deal with an existing club.

North Melbourne and Geelong could claim her for free.

It’s understood the 23-year-old had become disenchanted with the direction of the club.

She is expected to be fit for the beginning of the 2019 season, after she ruptured her ACL in the Blues’ Round 2 win over GWS.

The exodus may not stop with Davey either.

It’s believed several other players are considering their options, while multiple assistant coaches are under pressure.

In February, Carlton’s AFLW list manager Graham Burgen quit the club, with foxfooty.com.au understanding he had become frustrated with several perceived problems at the club, including selection, game plan and even coaching issues.

Davey was named captain this season, replacing inaugural skipper Lauren Arnell.

The 23-year-old won the Blues’ best and fairest last season and was named in the 2017 All-Australian team as a defender.

She looked on track for another stellar season before her knee injury ended her year prematurely.

Davey was one of Carlton’s two inaugural marquee players.

In the past, she had a successful soccer career and represented the Matildas as a goalkeeper, before turning her focus to AFLW.
