Veteran Blues midfielder Ed Curnow has claimed he is not losing any sleep about his current contractual status.

Speaking withย SEN Sportsdayย on Wednesday morning, the experienced engine-roomer philosophically explained that although he would love to continue his time at Princes Park, if a new deal failed to arise, he was content with how his career had panned out.

โ€œI think where Iโ€™m at now, Iโ€™m pretty comfortable with it [the contractual standpoint],โ€ Curnow said.

โ€œIf the club wants to move on, Iโ€™ve had a great time. But If I stay around, I would love that equally and Iโ€™ll just try and fulfil a role in the team."

Curnow, 31, has spent the entirety of his 11-season stint in the league within a navy blue guernsey, and although his efforts are yet to bear the ultimate fruit, the Geelong Falcons product claimed the future appeared bright for those that back the Blues.

โ€œHopefully we can bounce back up the ladder, which I really think weโ€™re close to doing at the moment.

โ€œIโ€™ve been fortunate enough that coaches have put a lot of time into me, and Iโ€™ve loved the whole journey, albeit at times it hasnโ€™t been a successful period.

โ€œItโ€™s been a good experience.โ€

With Carlton's clash with North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon set to signal Curnow's 200th AFL appearance, the selfless team man will be hoping that he will be afforded a chance to line-up alongside his most beloved teammate - younger brother and Carlton forward, Charlie Curnow.

The 24-year-old Charlie has not been sighted at senior level since Round 15 of 2019, as he has suffered a spate of devastating injuries to his knee.

However, after making it through a scratch match last week, the youngest Blues brother currently finds himself within the selection frame.

Speaking onย SEN Breakfast, Essendon champion Tim Watson stated that if Charlie was indeed fit, then Carlton should consider him to face the Roos this weekend.

โ€œIf heโ€™s ready, yeah [I would play him]," the triple-premiership Bomber said.

โ€œIf youโ€™re satisfied that heโ€™s done everything he needs to do, his bodyโ€™s sound again, they need somebody like him playing in that team.

โ€œWhat a shot of excitement it might provide for that group too.โ€

If selected, the Curnows and Carlton will face off against the Kangaroos at Marvel Stadium on Saturday at 1:45pm AEST.
