Tom McCarthy is prepared to move into the Eagles' midfield in 2026 having impressed at half-back in his first season at AFL level.
"At the moment, I've been training through the midfield a lot, learning lots of new craft through the likes of (assistant coach) Luke Shuey, and learning the position a lot more," he said.
"I have a lot more confidence now, can get a bit bigger in the gym, feel a lot fitter now than I did this time last year. Working through the midfield a little bit more will be exciting and (I'm) feeling a lot more confident this time round."
