has become a crucial element of coach John Longmire’s team since the Sydney Swans secured him with their first selection at the 2016 AFL Draft. The Victorian has shown glimpses of exhilarating footy on a wing, most memorably when he jagged a runaway goal in Round 4, 2018 to seal a gripping victory for the Swans over the Bulldogs. But Florent, who’s also spent time on the inside of the contest, is determined to continue to grow his game as a hybrid midfielder in 2020.

[TasSixer]

Kept thinking every year was gonna be the one where he'd breakout. But it just never happened. He'll get plenty of the ball at Carlton and have another solid 5 or 6 years in the league.

 

[grimlock]

This Carlton fan account must have had this waiting for days, if not weeks.

 

[ashep]

Was a fan since day dot as my history will attest. Has had a lean couple of years but still has plenty of talent and will start a best 22 player at the Blues from round 1.

Hope he plays 99 of the best down south.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Nothing against Ollie the person but I'm afraid I was never keen on him as a defender and he was never played where I thought his evasive skills would work ie at HF. Same as Lloyd. When challenged to change I felt he dropped his bundle, unlike Lloyd. Difficult situation but for the best I think. Hope he has success in the rest of his career as by all accounts he's a very decent guy.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Always thought he was a good honest player that went about his role without any fanfare, but I think in 2025 there was a noticeable drop off and he was a liability at times with some of his mistakes.

Hope he goes all right at Carlton. If Voss finds a good role for him, he'll do a job without being a world beater.

Not seeing what we get in return for him yet... Edit: future 3rd. Meh

 

[The King!]

All the best

 

[Jeffers]

Good luck Ollie.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Good luck Ollie, I'd be happy for you and Wilbur to have blinders against us next year.

 

[RaZoRBlad3]

All the best Ollie, shame to see it end this way.

 

[Jack2Jack]

He's a better player than we sold him for and I don't buy the notion he was just a fringe player, he what had a form slump and missed 7 games this year after how many 100 in a row or whatever it was. If he actually gets some time as a genuine mid at Carlton I wouldn't be surprised if we see the best of him. Good luck to him, he and Hayward will be some of the few ex swans I'll genuinely be wishing well.

 

[Tedeski]

We will miss you Ollie. Hopefully our boys can tie in the Blue’s B & F next year.

Outstanding highlights package! I had forgotten how many goals he kicked from near the 50 metre arc.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Outstanding highlights package! I had forgotten how many goals he kicked from near the 50 metre arc.

I think he should've been playing forward of centre for us. Clearly his best has been curated in these highlights but he has kicked some outstanding goals for us over the years.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Florent was never a defender, but was forced to play there. Would have probably had a better career if we played him forward.

He'll be good for Carlton, we just had too many similar players and Florent didn't really have a clear point of difference to the others. Just wasnt the right fit for us
