‘Pressure is gonna be on': Trade talk, a Byron Bay getaway and rebooting the Blues
Camp Curnow has remained closed for the winter as the embattled Carlton players went their separate ways across their bye week in a bid to resurrect their underwhelming season. Dual Coleman medallist Charlie Curnow said on Saturday the Blues did not feel a need to replicate their collective soul-searching efforts of 2023. Two years ago, the Carlton players famously spent the weekend around a campfire at Ed Curnow's Surf Coast farm to help rekindle their dwindling season and propel them towards a preliminary final. This time around, key forward Curnow flew north to Suffolk Park, near Byron Bay, and spent time with a friend whose partner had recently had twins. 'It was a bit louder than I thought it was going to be with two new baby twins,' Curnow said. 'But that's the best thing about the bye round, you can go and do something that you haven't really, or you can't normally do on a normal week of work, you know, go see some old friends from school.' Curnow said his brother Ed's wife, Emily, had also had a baby recently, and she did not want 44 footballers descending on their Torquay property and eating all their food. 'It's probably different circumstances to two years ago,' he said. 'I think Camp Curnow might be put on hold, hopefully to the end of the year.'

Voss cagey on injury scare after Curnow training collision
A cagey Michael Voss has declared Charlie Curnow fit to play against St Kilda after the star forward was involved in a last-minute training collision with ruckman Tom De Koning on Wednesday night. The Carlton coach denied that Curnow had hurt his troubled knee in the clash but refused to elaborate any further on where the dual Coleman medallist had been hurt. 'The last 30 seconds of the drill, him and Tom had a nice little collision,' Voss said on Thursday morning. 'So it's not exactly what you want to see in the last 30 seconds, but he'll be fine.' Voss was asked what went through his mind when he saw his key forward go down clutching his knee. 'I tried to have a bit of a laugh to fob it off, but holding his knee is incorrect. But he's fine,' he said. Voss also flatly denied a suggestion that Curnow had been having injections in his knee before training. 'Before training? No, no, that's not the case at all,' he said.

Cagey Blues coach Voss declares Curnow right for Saints
A cagey Michael Voss has attempted to diffuse any concern over Charlie Curnow's fitness after the star Carlton forward was involved in a heavy training collision. The Blues coach has declared the dual Coleman medallist available for Friday night's clash with St Kilda at the MCG. Curnow will take part in Carlton's captain's run on Thursday in a bid to reassure medical staff he is fine to play. Voss confirmed Curnow had collided with star ruckman Tom De Koning at training, but disputed reports the 28-year-old had an issue with his knee. With Carlton coming off a thumping defeat to Adelaide, Voss was in no mood to discuss specifics around Curnow's health. "He'll be fine," Voss said on Thursday. "The last 30 seconds of the drill, him and Tom had a nice little collision, so it's not exactly what you want to see. "I tried to have a bit of a laugh to fob it off, but holding his knee is incorrect." Voss also rejected suggestions Curnow had been receiving pain-killing injections in his knee to train and play. "You don't need to know specifics, let's just say he's playing." Voss also said key defender Jack Silvagni would return after missing the 60-point smashing by the Crows at Adelaide Oval. Silvagni, who has been one of the Blues' best players this season, broke his hand in the rousing win against Geelong a week earlier.
