HAYWARD OPEN TO BEING IN CURNOW DEAL <\/p>\n

Sydney forward Will Hayward says he\u2019d be open to being part of a blockbuster trade to Carlton for Charlie Curnow, but he\u2019d prefer to remain at the Swans. <\/p>\n

Sydney is seen as the most likely landing spot for Curnow as the Swans prepare to ramp up their pursuit of the Blues superstar when the trade period officially begins next week.<\/p>\n

Curnow also has interest from Geelong, who has limited trade collateral, and Gold Coast, who has Christian Petracca and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan on its radar. <\/p>\n

Hayward re-signed with the Swans last year when he was a free agent on a new five-year deal, with the Blues one of the clubs that were keen on luring the South Australian. <\/p>\n

The dynamic goalkicker is now among the Swans to be linked to a potential Curnow trade, though discussions haven\u2019t developed in a meaningful way. <\/p>\n

Could Hayward be part of a Curnow deal?Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n

Hayward told Code Sports<\/a> he \u201cdefinitely wouldn\u2019t request a trade\u201d but is prepared for a call from his manager in the event that Sydney \u201cwanted to get rid of me\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t want to be somewhere where you\u2019re not wanted,\u201d Hayward said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are not many other clubs that I\u2019d want to play for. I obviously spoke with Carlton last year, I really like Vossy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the club hasn\u2019t asked me, so as far as I\u2019m concerned, I\u2019ll still be here next year, hopefully playing with Charlie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayward, who recently returned from an overseas trip to Japan, says he was watching the 2025 Grand Final when he saw his name emerge in trade reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, oh sweet,\u201d Hayward added. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had a few texts, I haven\u2019t heard anything that has legs just yet. So, until the club approaches me, I\u2019m sticking here.\u201d<\/p>\n

FREO COACH MEETS WITH STAR\u2019S BROTHER<\/p>\n

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has reportedly met with Hawthorn defender Jai Serong in a bid to unite him with older brother and Dockers vice-captain Caleb Serong out west.<\/p>\n

Serong failed to play a senior game for the Hawks in 2025 after they bolstered their back six with Tom Barrass and Josh Battle. <\/p>\n

And now multiple reports state Longmuir has caught up with the 22-year old both in Melbourne and Perth as the Dockers zero in on the backman. <\/p>\n

Foxfooty.com.au\u2019s Will Faulkner in May reported Fremantle as a club keeping tabs on Serong<\/a>. <\/p>\n

According to SEN\u2019s Sam Edmund, Sydney and North Melbourne are also keen on Serong. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Swans gun says he\u2019d be open to being part of a blockbuster trade for Charlie Curnow.
