How many bone jarring tackles or soul crushing fend offs?
Beast.
The way he harassed, chased, barrelled into the opposition to force the turnover, it was truly inspiring.
This guy was in beast mode on Sunday.
Watching this guy hunt the man may just be the funnest watch in footy.

I thought Gerard’s comment about finally “realising what it takes to be a league footballer” was completely disrespectful.
He has been a league footballer. At present, he is the best “small” forward in the game.

The stats would indicate he is already there. Long May it continue.

Watching a second time I was amazed at how much ground he was covering. Still looked fit and explosive in Q4.
A 50-goal and 100-tackle season is possible.
That is my hope and expectation
Was it Souup or Pykie who ranked him in their top 5 from 2021?
That is some sniper-like long range talent spotting.

Souup was very high on him and was a big fan of freijah
Anyone with contacts at the club - give this man a job
Just to confirm FG he is 3rd in the ratings for General forward so far this year the 2 players above him have only played the 1 game.
Some people wont rate the ratings as an indicator of anything l appreciate that but for perspective above 15 for the year puts you in AA conversations. Alas its only Rd2 but the best thing about PC start to the year is the belief he will be getting.
The toby comparison is interesting as both have has discipline issues as well. Harley reads tempriment os also being challenged atm along with corn frances recently. Pauls game last week was virtually without distractions.
I don't know if it's happened much in the past, but opposition coaches will now have to put in a good deal of though about how to nullify PC

I was literally right behind it on level 3 at the time and thought it was clearly a goal.

Good luck to them. I think he is an extreme challenge to shut down.
I found the replay on Kayo, showing the snicko waveform. I thought it looked a "little odd" when I watched the replay yesterday so I searched out the snicko where the Melbourne player hit the post in Q2. Admittedly, the PC shot was low and went past the padding whereas the Melbourne shot skimmed the post on the metal up high so I wouldn't expect identical waveforms. But look at the duration of the wave on the right where the ball touched the metal post compared to the shape and duration on the left which is one single cycle. I know that if they see anything on snicko then the call is "out" but I'd be dubious - to me it's just as likely that the goal umpire broke wind as he bent over to watch the ball and the audio was picked up by the mic on the other post

Third quarter he is 20m by himself in the clear on the wing three times in a row. Melbourne did a completely dog shit job of defending him and he just got lost in transition. It won't always be as easy as it was on the weekend but jeez he finds space.
Also yeah I'm watching the replay. He just rips Petty (90+ kg & 197+ cm) to the ground like he's a rag doll in the last quarter. Absurdly strong human being

Apart from the deficiencies of the oppo, Curtis is now finding space because he can run. I noticed in the praccy matches he was getting back to D50 to provide an outlet, and thought that was a good sign
Yes one of the ch 7 blokes was slagging his fumbling which is true hopefully he was just a bit overexcited like the rest of us
Particularly liked his extra effort chasing
That was very Team Shinboner
And I think I saw Larks dump somebody
Good Times

they were right though. He does fumble a fair bit. If he can clean that up a bit he's going to be one tough unit to play on
Hopefully starts landing those low drilled passes as well.
