Wont be picked next week.. lacks the “values” at this point..
I haven't been watching the SANFL game, what position is Curtin playing?

Any other coach would've played Curtin by now, it's abundantly clear that he has IT.
Schoenberg won't be too far away, and Taylor shouldn't be far off a debut either.
Shouldn't.

Shouldn't.
Curtin finished with 21 kicks and 9 handballs. Must come in
Mostly half-back, went forward in the last. Was all over the ground really.

HB, but playing up forward in the last.
Move forward in the last. But seemed everywhere

Curtin finished with 30 disposals.
God this is such a ridiculous post. You think Nicks has a personal vendetta against Curtin or something? Because he played four SANFL games?
He’s never been a high possession winner, he used the ball ok when he got it and was good defensively, so I think he’ll keep his spot.
Curtin comes in for Pedlar for me and the side shuffles around a bit.
It's not personal. It's just incompetent.
It obviously suits him a lot better than where he's been playing previously!
Obviously not a personal vendetta, but Nicks has literally said in a press conference that he didn't foresee Curtin debuting this year. Which is just a stupid thing to have said about your top recruit.
He moves very well and works hard. Looked superb.
It's easy to use the ball well when you only have to use it seven times! Him never being a high possession winner is part of the reason he has no future at AFL level. He was one of our worst players, and someone else who can play his role was just BOG for our reserves side. He should absolutely be out.
When did Nicks say that? I've seen him say that he was doing well and was almost ready? If in fact Nicks did say that, that is obviously a really dumb thing to say.
At the same time Curtin is recovering from injury and a first year player, a few SANFL games is not unreasonable. They've played him in a few different roles which also seems reasonable to me. He obviously smashed it today and I think he'd be in with a great chance of a game. Just way too early to be imagining that somehow the club has screwed him over by not picking him yet. Seems like a classic breakout game to me and if he gets picked next week that seems fine.
Obviously yes if he was a writeoff for the whole year or something that would be very dumb.
Apologies, I was sure it was Curtin. That's what I get for going from memory.
Was it Curtin who Nicks implied would be excited to see his name on the emergency list, or was that Dowling too?
My recollection is that Nicks said Curtin would play AFL this year, just a matter of when.
Got 1 vote from the channel 7 commentary team, somebody tell Nicks he's ready to go next week.
Obviously Curtin with 30 touches and a goal is the standout, but Ryan with 23 touches is pretty impressive as well.
For those who were watching the game, were they good possessions? Where was he playing? 5 rebound 50s and 3 inside 50s makes me think he was on the wing.

Yep if the side is shuffled for Smith then its an easier shuffle for Curtin
