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

[Ahern2Boof]

Welcome Daniel. Hopefully he provides the kick up Goldy's ass to improve his workrate. Because if Currie gets in, I can't see him going out.

Not entirely sure, but wasn't he drafted to Sydney as a first round draft pick?

 

[RoyalBlue]

He was excellent as Zuckerberg in the Social Network, so I rate this pick up.

No - 49th selection in the 2006 draft.

Ah, my bad. Was given number 10 though, I know that. Must've been regarded highly if they gave him Paul Williams' jumper, unless the Swans aren't into that sort of thing.

At a pinch, I can see this. Minus the hulking 200cm frame.

He was a pick 49.

 

[Fart Cummings]

send him to werribee and send daw into the forward line for 80% of game time!

fantastic idea

 

[The Maestro]

I always thought he would become a good player from what I saw of him at Sydney, not sure what happened.

Hopefully we get the most out of him and he can be a solid player for us.

I didn't think he ever got a game at Sydney?

 

[Daz]

Never got a game. Spent 4 years at the club. With Currie and Sierakowski on board, we have the two blokes who have spent the longest time on an AFL list without getting a game.

 

[The Maestro]

I must be mistaken then I thought he played a few games.

Lets hope he's not a spud!

 

[jezaroo]

Went looking for some vision of the big fella and came across this article;

Bali would be a bit warmer then Utah at the moment

Oh and not much luck on any vision....

Interesting fact: Currie and Jarrod Moore tied for the Swans Ressies B&F in 2010

Nah he's not a spud. More like a mild tandoori.

Despite four years with the Sydney Swans from 2006, Daniel Currie was unable to make his AFL debut. Now with a second chance at making it, the athletic big-man is keen to ensure he doesn’t let the opportunity go to waste.

Delisted by the Swans in 2011, Currie spent a year in the SANFL with North Adelaide and stood out. So much so, the Adelaide Crows were reportedly interested in him as a replacement for Kurt Tippet.
“(I’m) probably hungrier than ever,” he admitted tokangaroos.com.au.

[Hard_to_Beat]

Haha, we pinched Currie AND Wilkins off Adelaide.

 

[davo99]

will suprise a lot this year! great pick up

 

[Husk]

Really good get by North.

Looking at him, he appears physically ready to compete, but also still has some upside.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

**** that's a big Currie.

Fine Cotton? Might need the Clairol.

The only worry on him is if he can compete physically in the afl.

Saw a bit of him at the Roosters, he can handle himself. He's not a kid anymore.

 

[Dan]

Anyone know what his numbers were in the SANFL last year?

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Anyone know what his numbers were in the SANFL last year?

35 hit outs and 14 disposals in the losing prelim side.

His opponent had 13 and 15.

http://www.sanfl.com.au/files/_system/File/PDFs/2012/stats/Round27_League.pdf

He was named in the bests in 8 out of 21 matches.

 

[Efficient]

Currie and Jarrod Moore were tied winners in the 2011 NEAFL league best and fairest.

the new ruck rule should suit him.
