Opening Round revenge on Curnow, Swans
The Blues could receive no sweeter gift than a famous victory at the SCG to kick off the 2026 season, months after their two-time Coleman Medal winner opted to leave Princes Park for the Harbour City.
It wouldn't just be exacting revenge on Curnow for jumping ship that would bring joy to the Baggers, however, as defeating Sydney would be a perfect response for Will Hayward and Ollie Florent, who, despite both recommitting to the Bloods long term just over a year ago, were forced to move to Victoria in order to make the Curnow transaction possible.
The pair have both stated they had planned to be Swans for life, but quickly found out from Dean Cox that they were not part of the club's long-term plans.
