Was great to see him string a few months of footy together this year.
Burnt out by the end.
Did his shoulder at the start of the year but elected not to have surgery in hope to get back on the park. Was his only option to save his career.
Should improve next year.

I agree, but it seems like the lack of footy over the last 3 years caught up with him a bit.
Hopefully gets a good pre-season, he's in out best team.

Seems like fantasia has gone ahead of him?
Different roles.
Cuningham training a lot with the mids as a high half forward/mid.

Has a lot of talent but never put it together with a long history of injuries and inconsistent performances when healthy.
Can't see a team offering him enough to get him away from the Blues

He’s an unrestricted free agent he can go wherever he wants
And more likely for playing opportunities as opposed to a salary bump

He can but who's going to offer him a better contract than we will? He's an extremely injury prone, unproven and inconsistent talent. Only a ridiculously irresponsible club would offer him a decent enough bump to his contract to leave Carlton.
And aside from West Coast I can't see many teams giving him more opportunities than us. We have a massive need for a good half forward/mid and if he gets his body right he's probably first in line amongst our options.

classic case of unrealised potential. when he's on he's very, very good but he's really only delivered it in 3-4 matches with injuries being a big factor.
no trade value (i know he's a UFA) just as a gauge

Carlton have been more than accommodating holding him on their list over his injury riddled career.
It would be extremely disappointing if the blues offered him and contract and he decided to play elsewhere.

He's 188cms and he's a midfielder playing on a flank that has stints at centre bounces.

Can't see anyone coming too hard for him. If he comes good it will be a bargain for whoever signs him as has talent.

Has talent but he isn't a difference maker. Classy and does nice things but floats in and out of games.
No one would take him. He will get a couple more 1 year deals at Carlton before ending his career.

Has had a good pre season but hasnt hit top form yet this year.
But is a classy high half forward (not small forward)

I think all 18 clubs would take Cuners when considering the money he’d be commanding.
27 years old, AFL quality and most importantly free.
For a flag contender he is a better option than a 4th round draft pick, for a bottom club he is best 22.
We won’t feel his loss if he does go but I do hope he stays. It is important to bat deep if we want to be successful.

Think the next month or two will determine his future in the AFL. We apparently had a huge running block over round 0+1 leading into the bye. With fully fresh legs we should see his best form hopefully.

Is he a candidate to head to a bottom dweller needing experienced bodies for a payday?

Every chance North or WCE offer him something disgusting and he leaves. Be an upgrade on what they've got.
No chance north would even think about it, a player like mazda can't get a gig in that HF high wing role no chance. even WC would back in Petruccelle to perform even long in time.
Didn't carlton even leave the signing till late last year, reckon he is 50/50 to be on a list next year

Due to injuries, not due to ability. He's a midfielder playing half forward due to others being ahead of him
