Swan Joins Blues Separately from Curnow Trade Deal
A trade deal involving Ollie Florent has been finalized, allowing the Sydney Swans midfielder to join the Carlton Blues. Importantly, this transaction is separate from any potential deal concerning Carlton’s standout Charlie Curnow.
Trade Details for Ollie Florent
The agreement sees Carlton sending a future third-round pick to the Swans for the 27-year-old Florent. This move is significant for both teams as they aim to strengthen their rosters.
Background on Ollie Florent
- Season: Florent played 16 games in 2025, his lowest total since his debut in 2017.
- Contract: He signed a five-year extension with Sydney in 2024, valid until the end of 2029.
- Draft Info: Florent was originally drafted from the Sandringham Dragons.
Florent had initially intended to remain with Sydney but has recently become open to relocation. The Swans had encouraged him to explore his options in light of their interest in securing Curnow.
Current Status of Charlie Curnow
While Sydney made an offer to Carlton that included Florent and teammate Will Hayward, along with a premium draft pick, this proposal was rejected. Nevertheless, the separated nature of Florent’s transfer allows him to join Carlton independent of any negotiations involving Curnow.
As the trade period continues, updates on both players are anticipated, emphasizing the shifting dynamics within the league. For more information on player trades and movements in the AFL, visit Emegypt.
