It's also worth keeping in mind that the kid almost died after contracting septic arthritis and the club (GWS) stood by and looked after him. In the early stages it was reported that doctors thought he might have an autoimmune disease which was later diagnosed as septic arthritis. When the player feels comforted and looked after like that anyone of good character never forgets things like that and feels indebted to the club and re-signs on and sometimes even takes a bit of a pay cut as a thank you.
All you can do is wish the kid good luck and that we'll see you on GF final day in the near future

Tim Gossage apparently reporting on SEN WA that Curtin is looking to return to Perth
Ned Ryerson
Future Captain
I wanted Curtin in the draft so glad we dodged that bullet in retrospect.
Our club is an effing joke. Curtin wouldn’t leave your club. He’d be thriving right now. Rather than languishing at full back in the SANFL. Well done on what looks like a successful rebuild. Something we know nothing about. Dark times.

Me too, I couldn't believe we would overlook him. I guess that's why we leave it to the experts!
Hardly a shock, every bloke and his dog knew he would want to return home he basically said as much in his pre-draft interviews. Brother comes out next year as well and I wouldn't go near him either despite him looking like a good prospect
Really tough for the Crows though especially when you add it to the McAsey retirement and Rachele etc being stuck in quicksand
It's nice to have Adelaide on the receiving end of losing talented players to the go home factor. Yes I'm still a little bitter about losing D Jarman, Hall and having that Matthew Robran prick chuck a tanty and refuse to play for us.

If this Curtin rumour is true it's incredibly poor from him.
You make a decision to enter the national draft and face the consequences. You owe it to the club that drafted you to stick out the first contract at the least. Fight for your spot and knock the door down at SANFL level. It's been half a season ffs.
Nicks is arrogant and a poor coach, but he isn't going to be around by 2026 anyway.

What makes it even worse is the crows could've gotten the eagles F1 for Curtin last year.
No chance thats on offer now given his output.

Curtin is contracted for two more years. Adelaide have all the power. West Coasts first rounder seems a fair demand.

They won't be giving up pick 3 for a player taken at pick 8 the year before who has clearly lost some value.
If true that he wants out the eagles will split pick 3 and hand over a later first round selection.

Gulden, Blakey, Hayward, Mills, Papley, Heeney all on massive contracts with big paydays for McDonald and Warner coming up.
Florent, Rowbottom, McInerney, McCartin certainly wouldn't be on peanuts either.
Did someone say ambassadorial payments?

Nice big Buddy sized hole though.
Picked it the day after the draft when I saw him walking around the Docklands like a lost soul.

Sucks for Crows if true but he’s still contracted until end of 2026 (3 year draftee deals).
Eagles first or future first probably gets it done in a straight swap.
I forgot this. Thanks for the reminder Bugs1977. I agree.It's also worth keeping in mind that the kid almost died after contracting septic arthritis and the club (GWS) stood by and looked after him.

West Coast aren't incompetent like GC.
No way eagles do that.

I think Geelong would definitely do it. Smith is young enough to keep with their rebuild for years to come, and he's a quality ready-made player that will help them immediately. Best of both worlds.
Do both NSW teams need the COLA since they're splashing the cash?

Disaster for Adelaide if true.
Again, if true, it makes me thankful we didn't trade back up for him as it could have been us in this position.
