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

[CharlieMortdecai]

To the letter of the law thats the kevin bartlett rule in a nutshell.

Yeah, the only way that is not HTB is if Fogarty knocked the ball free. Cannot really tell from the video, but I don't think it's the worst call.
The Curtis one clearly should have been paid, it's just a mistake.

 

[DocSholl]

What about the PC tackle?

That was also htb. No argument there, just don't think Fisher was stiff

Fisher botched it . Plain and simple, could argue he was stiff but with some poise could have taken clean possession and disposed of it as the tackle (and i use the term tackle pretty loosely) was hardly fierce.

Just another of the dozen or so poor plays that cost us and we have to reduce.

I agree with you 100%. If they’re going to call one then they need to call the other.

They were hardly similar plays though, fwiw i agree pauleys tackle on curnot shoulda been rewarded. I assume thats the one we are talking about?

[koshari]

yes, that one, was a great tackle. i mistakenly thought it was on curnot for some reason.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Yeah he’s on his way now. His pressure is way up and his confidence in his set shot kicking has gone through the roof from where it was.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Been very good. Did have one chance to pressure and get the ball back after he'd turned it over, could've shown a bit more urgency to correct his mistake. An area to keep working on for him.

 

[The acurate one]

I'm not one to pump up shitmen like some do, but this young man reminds me of a certain young dude from Richmond. Who's not so young anymore.

Just you wait and see.

 

[nicko74]

The only reason you don't pay that is you don't want to

Or, do what most of Carlton, Collingwood and Bulldog players do, and immediately drop the ball and start flapping the arms around, eyeballing the ump's for a holding free kick.

Well thats up to them but the rule is clear.

I love what Curtis brings to the table, but anyone saying his defensive game is anything above below average has NM blinkers on...

Paul Curtis defensive attitude is summed up at the 6.55 mark of the 1st quarter.

Can't be ****ed.

He has offence oozing out of his arse but definitely needs to work hard on his defensive intensity and work rate.

One effort was probably the worst effort I have seen from a NM player for many years. He lost the ball and zero second or third effort despite being only a metre or so from the player with the ball. Jogged in circles. Disgracefully poor footy. Should have been dragged there and then. However, I am a fan in general but sometimes he just gives up.

If he can't get the ball, he's on holiday.

That's the play I was talking about. Had the chance to get the ball right back off them and fix his mistake.
He's improved defensively but not quite to the consistent level required just yet. Hoping he can work on it.
