Having seen Daniel play earlier in the year, there is now another type of Currie that can give me the shits. No.

I jumped off the Goldy train when he lost a contest across half-forward in the last quarter, losing his feet and going to ground.
Has been a fine player for us but is giving us absolutely nothing around the ground this year and it's hurting us.
He had five touches to 3-4 time...not good enough.
I'm not saying Currie will do much better, but Goldy needs to get some urgency into his game.
I'm not sure what he does after the centre bounce...he doesn't get behind the ball to be a marking presence in defence and he doesn't even pop up as a marking target when we kick out after a behind.
Goldstein dominated in the ruck
:smirk lookMuppet. Turn it up..
He gave our midfielders first use. Hamish and Simpson didnt get a look in till late. By then the game was over as Geelong wore him down.Sorry, can't agree.
Currie hasn't been as good as Goldstien this year, I understand wanting to do something but that isn't it.
How many marks did Black and Daw take tonight?

I reckon he is the problem.
He is a leader now, OK not officially, but he would be in the top 5 earners at the club and has been around for a long time now. He needs to make his presence felt and set the tone in the middle. I want him to win the tap and then find an opposition midfielder to hurt. He needs to start playing angry. Sick of this gentle giant shit. We lost the game last night in the middle. Every bloke who played there needs to come under the microscope, starting with Goldy.
Some dumb comments re Currie in this thread too. He was atrocious earlier in the year AS A FORWARD. He deserves a crack as the number 1 ruck if Goldy doesn't extract the digit.
I'm not saying Currie is better, I'm saying we should use him in the role he was recruited for (ruckman, not forward) and in the process give Goldy the rocket he needs.I don't think we will ever see a nasty streak come out of Goldy ever. It ain't in him. As much as I would love to have a guy like Mumford or even maric who follow up and tackle and hurt people we just don't have them. Currie ain't it either. You think Goldy gives us nothing around the ground, well currie won't give us any more. He hasn't got the engine of Goldy and from what I seen as soon as it hits the ground he is absolutely useless and SLOW!!
All things considered, I'm of the belief that ruckmen ain't that influential anyways. There isn't that many good ones in the league. Take out cox, Mumford and sandilands and the rest don't do shit. You think mac and Simpson were influential?? Nah. So for us we need goldy to break even or win the hit outs, something I think he does. And just fill holes and make sure the other ruckmen don't push fwd and hurt us. It's in the midfielders hands to take advantage of his tap work, that's his greatest asset.
I thought Goldy rucked okay but some of his efforts around the ground were ordinary. He isn't the problem.
