Past 35. Ed Curnow

[The Old Dark Navy's]

 

[thylacine60]

Has won me over - was formerly in the grab footy throw on boot brigade with Robbo and Belly. Massive respect for his work ethic and also his open affection for little bro. More please.

 

[passmark]

He's neck and neck with Army for me as our two best examples of committed footballers.

Ed seems to have done a Carrazzo. Will be very important part of team while we transition to yoof.

Year Of Orsome Footy?

 

[1981]

All he had to do was cut out those terrible turnovers, the howlers, and he seems to have done that.

 

[thylacine60]

Let me get this straight - are people suggesting Curnow has developed into a better player at Carlton? Is that what people are suggesting?

Was actually thinking the same thing earlier - he's followings a very similar path to Carrots who got better as he went on. Played slightly different roles at times but he certainly picked up that tagging/centre role.

Let me get this straight - are people suggesting Curnow has developed into a better player under Bolton? Is that what people are suggesting?

It's always crazy seeing how much running Ed does. You don't really realize it until you are at the game and see how much he is pushing off the ball. Constantly moving, goes to show just how important work rate is in footy. Wills himself to every contest and is now getting the big numbers to show for it.

 

[newblueo]

full man crush on this man! will be winning our bnf by a mile,his work at stoppages is massive

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Just a testament to hard work and graft.
Works his absolute arse off every week, every game, every minute.
Will never dispose of the ball like Sam Mitchell but you just know he acknowledged this a couple of years ago and then went about busting his gut to get better at it.
He will make a blue every now and again but you know his next effort will be to rectify it and win the next contest.
You have my admiration Ed Curnow, it's players like you that make me love this game and this club.

 

[Dominator68]

Always been hard at it and tries his guts out but his disposal and decision has improved heaps this year. Underated and possibly would get a start in any AFL team. Defensive work rate is through the roof.

 

[Love the Drake]

This bloke is officially a beast. Watching him closely over the last month and he is just so strong..they can't hold their tackles on him.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Ed's due for his 100th against the Saints.

He's matured into a terrific leader and sets the standard on and off the field.

IMO Ed is a better player than Carrazzo ever was, much harder at the football and gets to more contests, disposal is similar but Curnow has more depth on his kicking.

Agreed. He does have a better all round game than Carrots & his strength at contests is only just below that of Judd/Cripps.

At the height of his powers Carrots was pretty bloody handy...

Ed Curnow is still not sure he has made it in football.

The Carlton on-baller is set to play his 100th AFL game this weekend, against St Kilda on Sunday, and just as the Blues are showing significant improvement, he has found some of the best form of his career.

Love Ed.

Congratulations on Ed Curnow reaching his 100th game with CFC this week. Awesome job son to claw your way from a rookie listed player to probably the first 5 picked in the senior team each week. Shows the young fellas around the club, what hard work can actually achieve.

Averaging nearly 26 disposals, 7 tackles and 101 AF points for the 2016 season you sir a stalwart of the club and I as a fan hope you shall remain in the navy blue until you retire.

Keep up the awesome rise Ed, and good luck in your 100th game in Navy Blue.

I'm a big fan of Ed, he's a real gun for you us nowadays

 

[BlueGum]

Congrats on 100 Ed. Love your work on the training track and the ground. Role model for other players and little bros.

 

[Aphrodite]

Congrats on 100 Games Edwardo!

Efficiency the key for Ed

“My focus is on decision-making and being able to assess what’s around me,” Curnow told Carlton Media.

“(I’ll assess) If the pressure is on me and I’ve got time, or if I’m in a bit of space and can hold onto the ball and then release to an option that’s more clear.”

Efficiency the key for Ed
