2025 List Management

[Dow]

Then it makes no sense that he sat in front if Ladhams, Green and Buller all year with very little effect.

I agree I think you have mentioned this several times during the season

Curnow did nominate a club, Geelong.

Thats his preferred club not a nominated club, as far as I am aware he has not nominated any club yet.

Jai Serong reportedly a two horse race between Sydney and Freo

Id be happy to have him on our books even if its just to provide some depth.

Regarding possible trade (player and a future first-round pick for Curnow and third-round pick):

I only suggested giving up a player in a trade because that was the general consensus of what would be required.

Other possible trades could be two first-round picks instead. Most likely, that would be pick 9 and next year's future first. Carlton are not likely to hold on to pick 9 but may want to trade it. Perhaps Sydney could trade that pick instead to extract better value? Pick 9 for someone's future first (2026), one or two later picks in this year's draft for bid matching, and give the future first to Carlton.

The more I consider this, the more likely it becomes that this Curnow trade is not going to be a two-club trade.

Playing with fire offering up a player you just signed for 5yrs....May as well say the whole list is available, at least thats what Agents will think of underpaid players

The AFL website is suggesting that Geelong could be Curnow's preferred destination. Geelong is unwilling to part with any players to get the deal done, and they are after Marshall as well. Does their salary cap ever get full? I'm not sure why Sydney's expected to offer up a player in addition to a first-round pick but Geelong is not. Geelong will need to use two first-round picks in the next three years, and they need to expend one to get Marshall from St Kilda. How on earth can they get both Curnow and Marshall, hold on to two first-round picks and not part with any first-18 players? They seem to be short two first-round picks at least.

Meanwhile, Brisbane is loading up on free agents as well, getting two that attract compensation of band 2 or better, in addition to drafting Annable around pick 5. Must be nice to win the premiership then get the equivalent of four first-round picks. Whoops! The AFL is changing the draft rules so Brisbane gets to pull up the ladder after themselves.

If there's a case for a trade and free agent ban, it's Brisbane and Geelong right now.

I am praying a deal doesn't get done, I would be happy to go to the draft and hope to pick up a few guys like Jai Serong looking for more opportunity.

Geelong are very good at getting deals done and hope they do again

the only player profile on the Carlton site that is missing current stats, height weight etc is Ed !!!!!

[imuninformedtwo]

Serong would be a very good get. He’d likely play right away as a third tall, can intercept, he’d help in freeing up Blakey and allowing us to start the transition from Rampe.

He’s never going to mind the genuinely big boppers but he’d make for a good addition.

Rowan Marshall (St Kilda) has requested a trade to Geelong, and it is likely that this trade will require Geelong to give up a first-round pick because Marshall is contracted for two years. I don't see how Geelong can manage to recruit Curnow as well. At best they're not going to have any first-round picks left before 2028 unless they give up a first-18 player. They used no first-round picks last year and need to hold on to two of their next three to meet the two first-round picks in four years rule. So they can only trade out one first-round pick. Geelong can trade for Marshall or Curnow, not both, unless something changes.

Agree with you. Geelong have a greater need for a ruckman than a key forward, and that was a major weakness in the grand final. While Curnow has nominated Geelong, he has also recently met with Dean Cox.
My feeling is our First round pick and Will Hayward would go a long way to getting it done, either that or he stays with Carlton

what about future 1st rder for curnow+ a player ??. they will need picks next yr
