Carlton Continue Their Off-Season Overhaul with Ben Ainsworth Trade
12 Oct 2025
In this episode, MJ Want breaks down the headline trade of Ben Ainsworth moving from the Gold Coast Suns to the Carlton Football Club.MJ unpacks how Ainsworth’s elite endurance, tackling pressure, and goal sense make him an ideal fit for Carlton’s developing forward mix alongside Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay. The discussion explores how this move reflects Carlton’s clear intent to modernise their forward connection and boost scoring reliability ahead of the 2026 AFL season.From the Gold Coast perspective, the episode analyses how Ainsworth’s departure leaves a gap in the Suns’ small-forward rotation, creating opportunities for younger talent and shaping their evolving list strategy under Damien Hardwick.MJ also digs into the AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach implications and weighing whether Ainsworth’s consistency and work rate translate into meaningful fantasy value, or if he remains a depth pick for draft leagues only.Social Media:FacebookTwitterInstagramTikTokCheck Out the StoreSupport Us:Patreon
