Past 35. Ed Curnow

[The Old Dark Navy's]

 

[Gointocarlton]

The Ed Curnows of the world are the glue that holds footy clubs together. He created an environment that was both fun and competitive with his tremendous work ethic.

Whilst limited in football ability compared to many, Ed's preparation, work ethic, work rate and running power was second to absolutely none of his peers both within the club and in the entire competition.

One of the great Clubman our football club has seen.

Thanks Ed, forever Carlton.

heart & soul type guy & obviously well loved by his team mates always know what your going to get when he plays 110% legend!

A true warrior and my favourite player, guys like Ed don't come around too often, absolute champion of the club in my eyes. Glad I can still watch his brother get a kick or two

 

[Dadda Dave]

Farewell Ed you legend..

2013 Forecast:

He was a Blue since BigFooty was on vBulletin. Think about it.

 

[AlecDuncan]

I reckon he could be offered a job at the club working with Power as the development coach. He would kill it working with the young mids improving their endurance and stamina.

I don't think he's been doing all that work at uni to slum it as an assistant coach. I suspect he has higher ambitions.

Far out that was one of the best retirement speeches I have seen, sitting here in happy tears, great trip down memory lane. Go well Ed.

 

[Accidental genius]

Absolute work horse…and heart and soul blue !

Well earnt retirement

Ed's next job:

 

[Blue Pulse]

Wears his heart on his sleeve, if you don't love him, you don't have a heartbeat. An absolute Blue treasure

 

[Juddernaut08]

IMO was borderline AA in his prime. Great servant of the club, and no doubt helped to raise training standards for many youngsters coming through.

Will miss his hard running and the brother to brother connection.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Also was the game's best tagger for at least a 2 year period.

And he wants yours.....

 

[thylacine60]

Brilliant!

41 is too young to retire!

 

[jooce8891]

thank you ed

 

[HyphensBack]

I always liked to imagine that my AFL career would have been like Eds:

• team first
• gut running
• all effort
• tagger who loves to go forward for a sausage roll

He was just 99% better at it then me and in the end played 221 more games than me (probably).

Nice work Ed !!!!!!

It's from the Club's Facebook page 21st July 2021, also Club's Twitter/Insta.

It was done for Ed's 200th game with 35 faces of Ed.
