Paddy Dow wants to stay at Carlton, according to SEN host Andy Maher.
The fringe Blues midfielder made just four senior appearances this season with two of those as the medical sub.
Dow, who is contracted for 2023, has played 63 games for Carlton since he was selected with the third pick overall in the 2017 National Draft.
Maher understands the 22-year-old wants to stay and fight for his place at IKON Park next season.

“This is what I’ve been told,” he told SEN’s The Run Home.
“He’s contracted, so if he was to be traded it would have to be with his agreement.
“I’ve been told Paddy said, ‘Nup, I’m not leaving, I want to be here’.
“He lives with Matt Kennedy and Sam Walsh, I believe they’re still domiciled together … ‘I want to prove myself here, I want to work my way into this team, don’t give up on me, I haven’t given up yet’.
“So that’s what I’ve been told that he’s said to Carlton.
“Now that could be bunkum and he could end up somewhere else. The kid, from I’ve been told, wants to prove himself at the club.”
Dow gathered 33 disposals in Carlton’s VFL Elimination Final win over Collingwood on Sunday.
