Player Watch #25: Paul Curtis - has signed a three-year extension until end of 2028

[King Corey]

George Constanza would’ve been proud.

It's common place for clubs to make trades conditional. It wasn't just torching our F2 for Callum Coleman-Jones that the dogs wanted us to do to seal the deal..

Dogs "not so fast Brady"

Brady "??"

Dogs "punch yourself in the balls"

Brady "haha"

Dogs "No seriously"

Brady wallops himself and induces tears.

Dogs "Sir - we have ourselves a deal"

Its funny cos its true...

 

[The acurate one]

Well if had used our second on Curtis, I wouldn't have been upset.

Will be a bloody grand footyballer for us

Are you serious?

 

[King Corey]

Are you serious?

Yes.

Brady was asked to forcefully strike his own testicles.

 

[koshari]

Yes.

Brady was asked to forcefully strike his own testicles.

Metaphorically, ie was asked to take on ccj, the groin area pain would have been quicker to get over.

 

[ferball]

Yes.

Brady was asked to forcefully strike his own testicles.

Its seriously unhealthy the way people beat themselves up over one poor trade.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I can’t wait for him to be fitter so that he can do his magic more often.

Yep and loved his game against the Eagle, was quiet that is true, but found a way to impact late and sealed the victory.
Last year he played 21 games and kicked 17.14, this season he's played 12 games and kicked 17.13.

It's all heading in the right direction for Paul & us.

 

[itchyscratch]

A round of applause for Paul Curtis. He really fights and scraps for the ball. Doesn’t hang back, and his quick snaps at goal are getting better and better.

agree. super strong and shoves off players week in week out with relative ease.

 

[Devil Fish]

Has talent, but does he have a brain? The mind-numbing free kicks he gives away each week are ridiculous. And he stands there bewildered to be penalised.

Yep, has a crack and is a good user of the ball.
He also kicked a goal on his right foot which I didn’t have on my 2024 footy bingo card.

 

[tazaa]

Front and centre.
Every campaigner on the list take note.
FRONT AND CENTRE. Thats what it looks like.

 

[amaz199]

His front and centre was an absolute joy to watch.

LT in a bigger body. He has arrived.

 

[the big lebowski]

I’m obviously a big fan, and most of his team mates made similar mistakes, but one stupid bit of play in the third killed out momentum and started the inevitable run on from the pies.

Outer wing/half forward, he’s pressed up against the boundary line, fighting for the footy. All he needed to do was get the footy out of bounds, instead he keeps it in, a pies player wins it, down the other end for the first of the their 3 goals to round out the 3rd qrt.

It’s game sense stuff. That was not the time to try a miracle play.

Knowing the umps he'll get done for insufficient intent. The pies had to be sucked in.

 

[amaz199]

Kicking to space. Superb.

That's brilliant to see, has some great football smarts.

I feel at times he's trying to pull off the 10/10 lazer pinpoint pass when he's shanking his kicks.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Top 3 kick inside 50 at the club. We need it in his hands 5 times more each game. If that happens, look out.

 

[amaz199]

The reason it was such a good kick was Collingwood had all the numbers pressed up for a short kick. If they turn it over 45 out, they are away.

PC sees Larkey one out with Moore and executes the kick to his advantage which Moore had no chance to get to. It was that good of a delivery.

This is also the benefit of having Teakle and Pink. Larkey has two or three zoning on him if they are not playing.

 

[muttley45]

Pretty selfish of Paul to play on quickly AND kick to Larkey's advantage, and not go back and wait until called to play on, and allow Pies time to get back and set up their defense

 

[CBSlogger]

Serious player now, but his next evolution is to eliminate the stupid frees... too dumb too often.

Amongst mids and forwards he's the worst offender in the league. Absolutely love him but this drives me crazy.

I feel like he's always going to be on the higher end of Frees Against due to his physical play style but do agree he needs to cut down on some of the unnecessary dumb ones.

 

[ferball]

He gets rorted by the umps all the time. Especially since Clarko drew attention to it. They doubled down.
