Past #1: Daniel Currie - officially traded to Gold Coast in exchange for a third round selection (#53)

[kool kangas]

Another player staying in the Family.......we must be doing something right as no-one ever wants to leave.......

 

[ozzyoslo]

Much to the demise of DarwinRoo .........Currie stays on as a roo.
I hope we can actually see how this VFL spud goes against some quality in the remaining games of the season.

thanks mods

Brad said something about him being "a big part of our future" recently so, barring a massive poaching from an opposition club, I'm not that surprised to see this. I'm rapt it's been done though. This bloke could be a trump card when we're turning the narrow losses into wins. Onya Muncher!

 

[Shermanator]

???

Or maybe we are just happy that he has proved in his 1 year to be exactly what we recruited him to be... ample back up should Goldstein go down / we decide to play 2 ruckmen

Maybe.. maybe not..

???

 

[Arden]

Is this now his fourth year on a list without a senior game?

Never seen a Currie take so long to work through the system.

When it finally happens I expect an explosive debut.

 

[Jack Reacher]

Has just signed on for another 2 years

Wtf? Staggering. Now we re-sign players for 2 years who havent even played a senior game...thats almost as ridiculous as re-signing B.Scott til the end of 2016 ffs.

Nothing against Currie, but on what basis does he get 2 frickin years?

How about on the basis of goldy and tarrant to gws for pick 1 and the best additional pick they'll throw in

Really? NSIS..... 'staggering' is pretty heavy language to describe something I see as common sense & list management 101.

He was out of contract, so exactly which other ruckman would you have kept on the list, or do we only need 1?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Good stuff muncher.

Glad to have him on board.

Umm no, maybe in the Scott/Brayshaw book of financial mis-management!

 

[Johnny99]

It doesn't mean we cant trade him.

It just means the club now has the upper hand.

The club can now either demand a good trade, or refuse to trade him and keep him on the list.

If Currie was uncontracted, he could have gone into the national draft and could have been picked up by any team in any state.

And North potentially could have got nothing for him...

A good outcome for the club...

It now means he will only be traded, if the club gets a deal that it is 100% happy with.

ie. unlike Jacobs-Port last year.

Is that correct ?

Umm gee whiz perhaps a guy called Daw and a kid called Mabon, who is killing it & is the next Will Minsonthat might just scrape us through.....seriously

No. We wouldn't have given him a new deal if we didn't intend on keeping him. He won't be traded.

You're not even trying anymore.

Lol so only 1 unproven ruck (albeit the next Will Minson ) is enough to keep in the wings? Daw is a ruck / forward, Mabon is behind Currie by some distance but tracking ok. How many clubs thrive with only 2 pure rucks? Start from the top of the ladder & let me know what you come up with.

Goldie's durability has clouded the view of some as to the basic requirements of a team list. In any case, Currie would almost certainly have signed up well under the average wage, which will seem a little unfair once he is finally called upon to fill his role in the seniors & show his wares.

I won't even have to wait 12 months to revisit this page for a bit of a laugh.

thanks.

Great news for Currie... Looks like someone's in the move... Taz or Goldie??

Or Mabon is getting cut.

Or not.

 

[tiltraise]

Happy the club has locked him away.

If Goldy were to go down neither Maj or Mabon have the seasoning and/or tank to hold down the #1 ruck slot.

 

[Tas]

He was always going to be the safest player to never play a game of footy, even if he still has zero games in two years he would still be given a contract as long he keeps proving himself to be a good ruckman. That might not be enough for some people, for others it is. Who knows, Minson was a complete spud when he was younger, we may still yet see the best he has to offer.

 

[Psicosis]

If I'm being honest, probably a silly decision by Currie, stoked he has stayed, but I honestly don't think he will ever be a lock in our 22.

so what happens next year when goldy goes down with a cracked fingernail?

Except there is a difference between you and me is that I still want Dan at the club and haven't carried on like a pork chop about trading him or just letting him go.
