Charlie Curnow is reportedly heading to Sydney today to tour the Swans’ facilities, having had a medical assessment with the NSW club.
They’re key steps in the dual Coleman medallist potentially leaving Carlton – a decision he and the club must make pretty quickly, given we’re now just 50-something hours out from Wednesday’s trade deadline.
Curnow would likely have to accept a pay cut, but if the Swans can add to their history of bringing in established spearheads – think Tony Lockett, Barry Hall and Lance Franklin – then they’d loom as a genuine contender next season.
The Blues have already lost Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni this trade period, as well as shipping out Corey Durdin.
