Carlton says Geelong’s likely late first-rounders do not reflect Charlie Curnow’s value.

Overview

  • Geelong’s opening proposal is three first-round picks in 2025, 2026 and 2027, with the 2025 pick currently No. 19 made available after a stalled play for St Kilda ruck Rowan Marshall.
  • Carlton football boss Chris Davies said the offer undervalues the dual Coleman medallist, stressing the club wants to keep Curnow, who remains under contract.
  • AFL.com.au’s Cal Twomey reports no club has previously traded three first-round selections for a player without receiving picks back in the deal.
  • Multiple outlets report Curnow prefers Geelong over Sydney, with the Swans viewed as a possible rival suitor.
  • Broader trade-period moves continue to shift leverage, with Clayton Oliver nominating GWS and fresh fallout over St Kilda’s backflip on Leek Aleer, while Carlton completed a separate trade for West Coast’s Campbell Chesser.
