In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the AFL world, Carlton’s powerhouse forward Charlie Curnow has officially signed a six-year contract with Collingwood Football Club. The move marks one of the most significant trades in recent history, signaling a major boost for the Magpies’ premiership aspirations.
Curnow, a two-time Coleman Medallist known for his explosive athleticism, contested marking, and elite goal sense, has been a central figure in Carlton’s rise in recent seasons. His decision to leave the Blues comes as a shock to many, especially given his strong ties to the club. However, sources close to the player indicate that the opportunity to join a club with Collingwood’s premiership pedigree and long-term vision proved too compelling to ignore.
“This is a once-in-a-generation signing,” said one Collingwood official. “Charlie brings leadership, presence, and a winning mentality — all things we value deeply.”
Curnow’s arrival will dramatically reshape Collingwood’s forward line, adding firepower and experience alongside stars like Nick Daicos and Jordan De Goey. With this bold move, the Magpies have sent a clear message: they’re not just building for the future — they’re ready to win now.
