Carlton rejects Swans offer for Curnow; Merrett, Petracca, Oliver still looking for deals on final day; Buckley speaks on new role; Tarryn Thomas eligible to return
Carlton rejected Sydney’s initial offer for Charlie Curnow and are adamant the club will continue to select 22 should any deal go forward.
Sydney’s offer for two first-round draft picks and players Will Hayward and Ollie Florent was officially submitted to the Blues just after 10pm on Tuesday.

But the deal would require Carlton to send Curnow off and take 22 back to the Swans, and the Blues are adamant that won’t happen.
As reported Tuesday, Sydney’s picks in the offer were the 11th overall pick and a 2026 first-round draft pick.
It appears a deal is imminent and Carlton fans’ hopes of keeping Curnow at the club are diminishing.
