Charlie Curnow

Charlie Curnow (born 3 February 1997) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays as a key forward for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League. He grew up near Geelong, played junior football for the Geelong Falcons and was drafted by Carlton with the twelfth pick in the 2015 national draft. He played 149 games and kicked 313 goals for Carlton between 2016 and 2025, a career interrupted by serious right knee injuries that kept him out for most of 2019 to 2021. After returning in 2022 he won the Coleman Medal as the league's leading goalkicker in 2022 and 2023, was named in the All-Australian team, and became the first Carlton player since Stephen Kernahan in 1995 to kick ten goals in a game. He was traded to the Sydney Swans at the end of the 2025 season, where he wears number 35, the number his older brother Ed wore at Carlton.
