Sydney coach Dean Cox has played down reports he has met with Carlton star forward Charlie Curnow, not even confirming that it took place.
Reports came out last week that Curnow may wish to move on from the Blues, with a reported meeting taking place with the Swans.
Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Cox said that he wouldn't add to the rumours that the Blues forward met with the club.
“I think you know that I won’t talk about anything that does or doesn’t happen,” Cox said on SEN Breakfast.

“That’s one thing that I’ve always thought, that is, if you do have meetings or you don’t even have them, everything gets done behind closed doors.
“That’s the way we’ll keep it.”
Cox was asked if Curnow was a player that Sydney would look at trading for in the trade period and answered that they would look at all their options.
“I think any player - if they’re out of contract or open to a trade - our list management team have to improve our list,” he said.
“We’re not playing football this weekend, which is our ultimate goal. So, no matter who it is, we need to make sure that we scour around the competition for players that we think could benefit our football club.
“Then, from there, the logistics that happen with that. Is it attainable through trade, draft, what we have to do through that process.
“There’s a lot of work with a lot of hypotheticals as well.”
In Cox's first year coaching the Swans, they came in 10th spot with 12 wins and 11 losses while Curnow, who is a two-time Coleman winner, kicked 32 goals for the Blues this year.
