The AFL’s annual trade period is entering the home stretch, with deals having to be completed by Wednesday night. There are still some superstars waiting to discover their fate, while lower-profile deals also hang in the balance.
Charlie Curnow
Curnow’s trade remains a work-in-progress as Sydney attempt to create an offer tempting enough for the Blues to release him with four years remaining on his deal. The Blues have already rejected Geelong’s offer of three first-round picks (in 2025, 2026 and 2027), and made it clear to the Swans that two first-round picks (No.11 this year and their 2026 selection) will not be enough.

Will Hayward looks the most likely Sydney player to pique the Blues’ interest, with James Rowbottom not wanting to be traded and Ollie Florent – although invited to explore his options – also reluctant to move.
