He would be close to a minimum salary player. Unless there is a major turnaround in his form, nobody is going to offer much at all. If either of those teams want him, they would only need to offer a bit more career security.

Was stunned it went through. Anyone who spent any time at all near the Coburg TAB/Brown’s hotel on Sydney Road knew the kind of trouble the bloke had got himself into. Again, stunned it didn’t filter through to Richmond.

Anyway, back on topic. Cuners will stay I assume. He won’t get megabucks elsewhere, I’d like to think he’d stick by us after sticking by him, and his class with the footy in hand makes him the perfect cream on top type player.

Yep. He is better off sticking with you and trying to get himself cherry ripe for a chance at a flag.

Really don't think he'd be the type of player to thrive in an situation like North's. IMO his only chance of playing good footy would be in a strong team where he can be the cream. Can't see that happening anywhere other than Carlton since hes already there.

They don't need flankers and HFs, they need KPs and onfield coaches.

Even then he’s a fringe player.
Carlton have him as depth.
And I agree with you, not sure he’d be effective in a weak team.
He’s managed to work through. Good career with the talent and what his body has been able to withstand.
Hopefully the blues sign him
Small foward with speed is what Carlton need
Cunningham is a fast small foward and will be 28 next march
If he doesnt fit carltons needs then clearly not good enough
Delisted free agent would be his best option to get another chance at continuing his career

He is a half forward flanker who can play spurts in the middle, not an x factor forward pocket/goal kicker.

No. Completely different player to what Carlton need and not a traditional small forward. He's 188cm.
He is competing with Hollands and Cottrell as the high HFF.

First search I saw had him at 188cm.
Either way not a traditional small forward. That should be obvious if you’ve seen him play.
And right on cue
Are you offended by someone having an opinion on a perennial sick note player?
No, more the fact that he ended up on the sick list again yesterday, about 4 hours after your post

Got talent but the body isn't up to it. North would be wise to steer clear, would just clog up a list spot.

I like him but unfortunately his body is made of glass.
Should be let go and whilst he does have talent, he's clearly not the right type for a side like North Melbourne to look at.
Doubt he gets a contract elsewhere, but I've got one eye on SOS to see if he still likes him.

9 years in the system and hardly set foot on the park.
Quite talented but has never had continuity due to a fragile body.
Cannot see him being on Carlton's list in 2025, unless they rookie him.
