\u201cLooks overs for me,\u201d Healy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a win (for Carlton).<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were always going to want overs. (New Blues footy boss) Graham Wright is clearly looking down the track. He\u2019s looking to implement some sort of restructure like he did at Collingwood.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s looking for overs. (Pick) 22 brings it back a little bit in the Swans\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the Swans should be arguing strongly for 22 simply because right now, Charlie is not going back to Carlton.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not going back. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis deal is basically, would appear to be done. Get your 22 and put this deal to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

AFL reporter David Zita said the Blues had \u201cplayed this well\u201d in terms of getting a deal done for Curnow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way they messaged it \u2026 they\u2019ve always left a bit of wriggle room for the right deal to come along,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems like Sydney, they haven\u2019t really mucked around \u2013 they\u2019ve thrown their best punch and it looks like it might be one that lands tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sticking point here is the pick that Jack Silvagni is going to net for the Blues as a compensation which is pick 22 \u2026 I think that would probably be something Carlton would get a bit upset about and try and negotiate that pick 22 to be a bit of a later pick in the draft.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat on face value \u2013 two picks, two first round picks \u2013 and two ready made players, that\u2019s a pretty big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
‘Suns need him THE LEAST’ | 01:33<\/p>\n
Bulldogs great Brad Johnson believes the Blues would benefit from the likes of both Hayward and Florent, the latter who has simply fallen out of favour under new coach Cox.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the players are right as well \u2013 Hayward is tough. He can provide some spark as well \u2026 And Ollie Florent is just out of favour \u2013 this is a guy that plays 20+ games a season constantly for your football club and has got some class,\u201d Johnson praised.<\/p>\n
\u201cCarlton people might think, \u2018oh do we really need a Florent or not?\u2019 I think he\u2019ll be an excellent addition to your footy club if you get him.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Healy stating Florent \u201cwalks straight into Carlton\u201d as part of their best 22, the question was then raised over a potential conflict of interest given all three players are managed by Robbie D\u2019Orazio.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one question I couldn\u2019t answer,\u201d Dixon replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve then got players currently in the (Sydney) line up like an (Joel) Amartey, (Logan) McDonald and (Hayden) McLean sitting there going, well where do I sit in the pecking order now if they bring a Charlie Curnow in?,\u201d Johnson added. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t mind that competition.<\/p>\n
\u201c(With Curnow as #1 forward) Amartey and McLean plays the second ruck and can play forward. McDonald may be in for a positional move in 2026 \u2013 we wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n
