The hideousness of that foot picture, will haunt my dreams forever!

Crazy call, I think some people have forgotten how good our greats were. Our best 4-5 players would likely account for over half our All Australian guernseys. Hopefully he is as good, but to say injury and go home are the only factors that will stop that occurring is absurd.

Now thats an interesting exercise

Dawson should be 1

 

[GROTTO]

Dawson should be 1

Foreshadowing his performance for 2024.

Also it's an award dominated by midfielders, and it goes to show how badly we've neglected recruiting them since the early years.

Luckily games aren't won or lost in the midfield.

Do you mean Brownlow or all Australian team selection?

 

[Samcro24]

Both but we’re talking AA where they also cram a bunch of midfielders onto the flanks, wings and bench.

 

[crows dude]

Yep my error.

In the interests of fun I put this starting team together, not a bad team at all..
Backs
Smart Rutten Bassett
Smith Bock Hart
Dawson Danger Sloane
Riccutio Walker Thompson
Betts Modra McGuiness

Fol: Rehn McLeod Goodwin

Int: Talia Laird McDermott Crouch Anderson

 

[Pugsley]

So what's happening with Curtin?

Not bad.

Works as well as 23 players.

Id probably put a prime Mcguiness as rover though. He was a freak. Goodwin has kicked 7 as a forward so chuck him in a pocket.

Don't match the drapes

 

[Sir Ronald Mac]

So what's happening with Curtin?

We were saying he looks like a young Modra.

 

[potatoe]

This is the most excited about a draftee that I have been since Danger. Hopefully we can get a similar output, but less of the FIGJAM. I do know that he has family in Adelaide and was very happy to be drafted by us. I'd say less of a go-home risk than FIGJAM by miles.

I don't mind the FIGJAM as long as the performance is there to back it up. Danger backed it up, and if Curtin plays at that level then he can go full FIGJAM with my blessing.

 

[ftmch]

What's the injury to Curtin? Saw something mentioned in another thread - hope noting serious?

He looks very sore ftmch and was relegated to some light jogging at training today.

Hopefully we get some clarification as to what exactly the injury is but round one looks unlikely sadly.

Funny it did cross my mind

I didn't want to be the one to out it, but he hurt himself last week. Very, very lucky that it isn't major, but will require some rest and rehab. I doubt he will be ready to go for the first few games.

Any idea as to the exact injury potatoe? Looked like either some ligament damage around the knee or bad bone bruising.

I'm not comfortable disclosing the exact injury, but you're around the mark

Awesome, thanks - appreciate the insight.

So reading between the lines, he's dodged an ACL by the sounds of it?
