Things have gone from bad to worse at one of Melbourne’s most maligned football clubs this week, as the trade frenzy goes into overdrive.

With the North Eastern states just eagerly waiting the first NRL scandal of the off-season, southerners and westerners have been foaming at the mouth over the AFL trade period.

For those who don’t care for Victorian Leg Tennis, the AFL trade period will see 17 teams pointlessly try and move players around to avoid the inevitable Brisbane Lions ThreePeat next year.

One of the biggest talking points out of the trade period has been the desire of Charlie Curnow to get out of the Carlton Football Club.

The star forward who boots ‘snags’ for fun, is apparently going to great lengths to snag himself a trade to another club.

Gossip journos in the AFL media had previously reported that Curnow was willing to forgo a million bucks over 4 years to move somewhere like Geelong.

However, in even worse news for the club who is forecast to bleed a few big names players after already losing Tom De Koening (to an even shitter club), their beloved Charlie has now dropped an even bigger bombshell.

The two time leading season goal kicker has apparently told his manager to tell other clubs that he’ll accept a 3-year internship, unpaid.

“Yeah, hearing whispers Charlie is willing to work for free if he can get out of Carlton,” said some guy in Melbourne who appears on radio and podcast.

“Obviously he’s hoping that he can land somewhere like Geelong and maybe get a bit of kit from Cotton On to offset not getting paid.”

“But at this point, he’ll accept whatever to get out of the Blue Baggers.”

More to come.
