Overview

• Curnow is in Sydney to tour the Swans’ facilities, with two days left before Wednesday evening’s AFL trade cutoff.
• Carlton has rejected Geelong’s offer of three first-round picks and maintains it will not trade the two-time Coleman Medallist, who is contracted through 2029.
• Sydney is viewed as a leading suitor and is weighing an offer built around pick No.11 and next year’s first-rounder, likely requiring a contracted Swan to be included.
• Curnow is reported to prefer Geelong but is open to Sydney and is willing to take a significant pay cut to leave Carlton, after medicals were conducted last week.
• Names raised from Sydney’s list include James Rowbottom, Will Hayward and Ollie Florent, though Rowbottom’s manager and the Swans’ list boss say Rowbottom and Hayward are unlikely to move, and Collingwood has shown interest in Rowbottom.
