Charlie Curnow - The Return!

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I have movement...

THE MAN FROM BARWON RIVER

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That Charlie from the Blues had got to play,
And had joined some other players - at an unattended ground
So all the cracks had healed, which allowed him to play.
All the tried and noted players from VFL sides near and far
Had mustered at the oval, not a spectator in sight,
For he played a good three quarters and one goal might be sub-par,
But he left without a stretcher to Blues supporter's delight.

Sorry Banjo.
EDIT: Just realised I rhymed play with play! What a wordsmith

POTY. And it’s all thanks to Sammy Walsh

No VFL again this weekend, I don’t think he’ll play AFL this year, he would need a month at VFL level you’d think.

Paywall be damned.

Why? Not sure that he needs to prove his ability at that level so it's only ensuring that he pulls up o.k. structurally then it's onwards and upwards.. just as much (if not more) chance of a re occurrence running around in reserves scratch matches.

One more scratch match playing extra minutes and I would select him for the saints game.

Interesting that Teague on afl360 said that Charlie had rung him yesterday to tell him he had pulled up well and was good to go.

Brothers Charlie and Ed Curnow may not always appear the best of friends to teammates but there is no doubt they welcome the chance to again be in the same Carlton side.

Playing in a Mickey Mouse scratch match does not count as match fitness.

VFL is far more intense.

Solution: manage Ed for the next 3 weeks and delay the milestone to Round 20!!

We need Ed if we want to win the next few weeks

surprised he’s not trying this stunt standing on wet steps whilst wearing a pair of thongs.

 

[Jeremias]

Obviously won't be playing senior footy this weekend, but it's exciting that he's nearing a return.

shot was taken back in 2019 but yeah...........hopefully he understands how important he is to our future success now...........

 

[footyfan1978]

One small step for Charlie.
One large leap for Carlton fans hope going forward.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Juan Moore non-AFL hitout for Charlie should be sufficient.

Actually,
Was thinking "put the baby down and step away Charlie" would be more apt.

VFL is far more intense.

It's not about intensity, if he works hard and hits the GPS numbers and pulls up well that's all they care about. Repeat sprints etc. He doesn't need to show his ability in a more competitive vfl. Everyone knows his ability.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Don't care when he comes back as such, as long as I see Charlie out there fit and firing. Flowering exciting now that McKay & JSoS are starting to the next steps. Can't wait......

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

We're all keen to have him back as soon as he's fit, but...

He was described as being pretty rusty. Moved well, but rusty.
And then he says he wants to play in his brother's 200th.

If we're all about integrity of selection, etc, then the message needs to be that he has to earn his spot as well.
Regardless of his fitness, 2 years is a lot of rust, especially for a player who's played less than 60 games.
