If we are going to do a deal with Swans for Charlie - why is no one discussing the obvious - Grundy - He is better than TDK

I asked for Zak Butters but Doc got me Jack Buttons (2021 national draft pick #24, AFL games: 0)

I think it is fair and reasonable for us paid members to pose the question ‘what the @#$%&! has gone on at the club in the past 12 months?’.

Can mitigate all you like but from the outside looking in and taking in to account our onfield performance, it is so far from an elite professional environment as can be.

Geez the mosquitos hanging around Prinnie park. Wonder if they do the same at other clubs.

They are relentless. We are a very popular club arent we.

Would definitely consider that....the good thing is a club must overpay if they want Curnow or McKay.

How are the Swans getting pick 2? Warner?

Blues star Curnow’s trade request denied

Carlton superstar Charlie Curnow’s request for a trade away from the Blues has been flatly rejected by the club.

The star forward told the Blues of his wish to move to another club at his exit interview on Thursday. But he was told that he would not be traded, according to three competition sources with knowledge of the situation.

So at the start of the season Charlie is 29 and 1 month and Gulden is 23 and 8 months.

The point being do you want five years and maybe 100 games from player A or 10 years and maybe 200 games from player B?

I’d still take Gulden in a heartbeat.

A month ago ........ out of the mouths of babes....

"I obviously want to be here," Curnow told reporters after Carlton's 24-point loss to Hawthorn on Thursday night. "I don't really want to make this about me right now, but I'm playing at Carlton next year. There you go. Done."

WTF is going on here.

If Charlie has told the club that he wishes to move to another club, and I believe it because there has been no denial from either Club or Curnow, then I am flabbergasted.

If he has changed his mind in a month and gone all flakey, then happy to take serious offers.

Let's see what the other 17 clubs think he is worth. Pick #1 from Eagles plus their first rounder next year (Prob #1)......Sign me up. Plenty of surf in WA Charlie. Will Duursma come on down.

Strange days.
