‘Carlton man': Voss responds to trade bombshell
Carlton coach Michael Voss has poured cold water over a potential Gold Coast move for star forward Charlie Curnow, declaring the star forward was a 'Carlton man' and would stay that way. It was reported on Tuesday night that the dual Coleman Medal winner was open to a move to the Suns for lifestyle reasons. Carlton reportedly shut down the possibility of the move as it braces for the departure of key tall Tom De Koning to St Kilda. Voss was also emphatic on Wednesday that Curnow, who is contracted at the club until the end of 2029, was going to be a Blue for life. 'It's probably just that, it's just speculation for us. Charlie is a Carlton man and he'll stay a Carlton man,' he said. 'I'm not sure how much more emphatic I need to be on that. I appreciate these times of the year and when you're not going so well there's always some speculation on your players. 'But it probably ends there for us … no (haven't spoken to him) because again it's just speculation. 'It's very hard to operate on conversation or even answer something on hearsay … Charlie is a very important person to us and he'll play out his career here – he's a Carlton person and will stay one.' There has been consistent talk about the shake-up incoming chief executive Graham Wright will have on the Blues' football department. But Voss shut that down too, saying Wright's entry into the club will change nothing but 'the names at the desk' when it comes to list management. 'I think the way we operate as football clubs, we tend to have a planned strategy about those things,' he said. 'We've got a list management committee, which I am one man in that (and) so is Graham, as well our list manager as well as our football manager. 'We strategise that out from a long way out and we put that together as a team, that's the way we will continue to do it as we always have. 'As normal, there's no change in the way we're operating, the names at the desk change because Brian moves out and Graham comes in. 'But in terms of how we go about our list management, strategy and build, everyone will have their input at the right time.'

Top four in Cats' sights as Saints lose six in a row
Geelong have inched closer to securing a top-four berth, with a five-goal haul from spearhead Jeremy Cameron leading them to a hard-fought 31-point win over St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium. Looking a class above their opponents all day, the Cats won 17.11 (113) to 12.10 (82) in front of a vocal home crowd of 29,985 writing was on the wall early, as Geelong kicked four unanswered goals to start the match, and while the Saints fought back hard to stay in touch in an entertaining end-to-end battle, the home side answered every Kilda's engine room battled hard throughout, finishing with more clearances and contested possessions than the Cats, but Geelong's class on the outside proved the difference. With coaches Ross Lyon and Chris Scott content to let their midfields fight it out without any hard tags, St Kilda Star Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera emerged as the most damaging player on the ground. The out-of-contract 22-year-old was everywhere for the Saints, using his running power to collect 36 disposals, his smarts around stoppages to win 10 clearances, and his exquisite kicking to snare two goals and set up multiple others. But while Wanganeen-Milera was clearly the Saints' best player, the Cats had even contributors across the board. Max Holmes ran riot through the middle with 32 disposals, while Ollie Dempsey (25 possessions) was outstanding in his 50th game. Coleman Medal leader Jeremy Cameron had four goals to his name by half-time, with a sublime drop punt from a tight angle the highlight of the match, and added a fifth late in the final term.

Geelong champion Tom Stewart subbed out with knee injury during big win over St Kilda
Geelong will be sweating on the fitness of star defender Tom Stewart after suffering a knee complaint during Sunday's win over St Kilda. The five-time All-Australian was subbed out during the third term of the 31-point victory. He had ice applied to his left knee, while he had a compression bandage on his right knee. But despite the multiple ailments, the vice-captain appeared unfazed as he watched the remainder of the match on the bench. Coach Chris Scott said the move was mainly precautionary and they hope he will be fine for next week's clash against North Melbourne. 'We think it's fine. I've said a few times in this forum we've got a low tolerance these days for keeping guys on when they can,' Scott said. 'The question isn't 'can they keep going', it is 'should they keep going'. 'The strong suggestion is that he'll be OK for next week and hopefully that's on the back of chopping him out a little earlier.' Looking a class above their opponents all day, the Cats won 17.11 (113) to 12.10 (82) in front of a vocal home crowd of 29,985 spectators. The writing was on the wall early, as Geelong kicked four unanswered goals to start the match, and while the Saints fought back hard to stay in touch in an entertaining end-to-end battle, the home side answered every challenge.

Umpire howler gifts Lachie Schultz first goal against Fremantle Dockers as Nick Riewoldt blows up
A baffling 50-metre penalty call has gifted former Docker Lachie Schultz his first-ever goal against his former club, but it has left one former AFL star fuming. Amid a high-quality first half between finals fancies Fremantle and Collingwood at the home of footy, a bizarre umpiring decision stole the headlines. Dockers defender Karl Worner was penalised for making high contact with Schultz during a tackle and dutifully stood the mark inside 50 despite clearly being bemused by the call. Worner remained silent as he looked over his shoulder at the big screen, watching the replay of the incident with the crowd. However, what he saw triggered his frustrations as he threw his head back and gestured towards the big screen. It prompted umpire John Howorth to blow the whistle and pay a 50-metre penalty, stating '50 metres, point at scoreboard'. Former St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt exclaimed 'all my gosh' on the broadcast before scolding the call. 'That's just ridiculous and selective umpiring that,' he said on Channel 7. 'We saw a game last night, Clayton Oliver was way more demonstrative.' Riewoldt made a further tongue-in-cheek remark later in the second term, suggesting Mason Cox should avoid looking towards the scoreboard after giving away a free kick in Fremantle's attacking half. The umpire's decision marred an otherwise entertaining start to the mouth-watering contest, which included Pat Voss kicking four first-half goals while Pies small forward Jamie Elliott soccered a goal out of thin air as he chases Cat Jeremy Cameron for the Coleman Medal. Scores were level minutes before the long break.
