Early life and career
[edit]Petrevski-Seton spent his first years on a cattle station near Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia, where his father was working as a stockman. The family moved to Halls Creek when he was three. Petrevski-Seton is Indigenous Australian, and also has Macedonian ancestry on his mother's side – his maternal grandfather immigrated from Macedonia. He grew up speaking Kriol as his first language, and did not learn standard English until moving to Perth to board at Clontarf Aboriginal College, which he attended from 2013 to 2015. Outside of playing football, Petrevski-Seton enjoyed competitive bull riding, which he took up at the age of 12.[1]

After moving to Perth for school, he began training with the Claremont Football Club, whose recruiting zone takes in the Kimberley region.[1] Petrevski-Seton spent four seasons of WAFL colts (under-18) competition, making his debut at the age of 15. He made his senior debut for Claremont at the age of 17, playing three games early in the 2015 season.[5] Petrevski-Seton also represented Western Australia at under-16 and under-18 level. He was named in the All-Australian team at the 2015 AFL Under 18 Championships.[1]
AFL career
[edit]Petrevski-Seton was drafted by Carlton with their first pick (sixth overall) in the 2016 national draft.[6] He made his debut in the opening round of the 2017 season, playing in Carlton's 43-point loss to Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[7] After his team's 23-point win against Collingwood at the MCG in round seven, in which he recorded 21 disposals, four marks, three tackles and two goals, he was nominated for the 2017 AFL Rising Star.[8]
In his second season, Petreveski-Seton played all 22 games in 2018. He averaged 16.1 disposals, and kicked 5 goals for the year. He also averaged 4.3 tackles per match.

At the conclusion of the 2021 AFL season, Petrevski-Seton sought to return to his home state of Western Australia, and requested a trade to West Coast.[11] He was traded on 7 October.[12]
