If Charlie Curnow’s trade wish to leave Carlton is granted, it looms as a genuine deadline day deal, according to the Fox Footy Trading Day panel, with St Kilda champion Leigh Montagna declaring the onus is on Sydney to get the deal done.

Curnow is arguably the biggest fish of the 2025 trade period, with the star dual Coleman Medallist determined to leave the Blues , despite being contracted to the club until the end of 2029.

Curnow’s preferred new team, according to several reports, is Geelong. But Cats football boss Andrew Mackie on Monday acknowledged it’d be tough for his club to land both Curnow and ruck Rowan Marshall – who’s told St Kilda he wants out – in the same trade period.
