Player Watch Daniel Curtin - Debut

[Mutineer]

Probably out of the 3, Smart was the only one to not play much (any?) as a mid. Like others have asaid could play any KP and was instrumental in a number of our big finals wins at The G inc our first ever Horks final. For people that didn’t know much about him there was certainly a “wow” moment when he took down Dunstall big time in our first ever AFL game. Amazing athlete - both accelerating pace, leap - skills inc goal sense and excellent mark

Nigel was drafted as a wingman, that's where he played almost exclusively at the Panthers before we drafted him.

SEN in WA reporting this morning that he already wants out.

Oh boy.

Good on him, better option than being under Nicks for another 2 and a half years.

It was Gossage. 9/10 times he’s FOS although every once in a while he gets some good mail but if I was the Crows I wouldn’t be stressing too much now that I know the source.

On a potential trade I don’t think WCE would do pick 3 for Curtin but he is contracted for 2 more years. More likely might be a trade involving Curtin, Barnett and pick swaps.

If it’s Freo as suggested I’d be asking them for all 3 of their 1R picks (given none are likely to be in the top 10) in exchange for Curtin and the Melbourne 2R. In a midfield heavy draft you should be able to get a hold of a couple of good mids and a KPP. If one of their picks does end up in the top 10 after likely bids I’d be going after their two best 1Rs minimum.

In saying that probably worth keeping your powder dry until hearing it from someone other than Gossage.

Nicks (probably):

"How dare that ingrate not be happy travelling to Noarlunga, West Adelaide and Elizabeth for the next 3 years!!! We're such a good team - he can't possibly expect to get games ahead of Smith and Jones! Doesn't he know how stacked we are?! He should be grovelling at our feet to extend him to 2030!!!!"

They were KPD when drafted. Just like Curtin

But we didn't demand that they master being a KPD at AFL level before starting them on their journeys to become AFL mids.

 

[1970crow]

Well Smart played in an era that was overshadowed by Modra, Riccuito, McLeod and Jarman and his talents probably got hidden a bit. But yeah, he was every bit a genuine star player.

Heard he was almost uncatchable when he went.

Apparently Gossage read out a text from a listener

99.9% BS

That's more than we usually go on

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Play him for the rest of the season, our season is shot

 

[cmndstab]

Look, IF its true, then its WCE 1st this year and maybe a 2nd - add that to our 1st this year and we may be able to secure 2 x top end mids in this draft. Thats the end game IF its true he wants out - 2 years left on contract we hold the cards in terms of trade.

EDIT: Just saw Eaglevision's post - so if its Freo, then is their 1st this year and next - full stop

Why not demand Harley Reid as well, while we're at it?

If it's true then we'll get something inadequate on return. He has no exposed form.

Fingers crossed it's tabloid gossip. I'm sure he's frustrated but there's a long walk from there to demanding a trade.

The listener wasn't C4[2]Yo`DooR was it (meaning its not a rubbish rumor)

2 years left on contract..we need to dig in IF that rumor comes to fruition - adequate is not to our advantage

Jake Lever got Uncle BT to do it for him.

Sounding like the inversion of the big fish we were promised with our massive war chest

 

[Geoffa32]

Why did we give him jumper number 6.....



And sub him out before trying him in a more attacking position.

[Southerntakeover]

Club sucks are going to try to justify his non selection while simultaneously pretending we haven't destroyed trade value, aren't they?

 

[OccamsRazorRay]

Already confirmed this 'rumour' was a text from a listener on radio, read out by 'journalist' Tim Gossage...

Talk about jumping at shadows.

Literally from the horses mouth in February...

Curtin lifts lid on life as a Crow

The 18-year-old arrived at the Club in December

www.afc.com.au

““I’m really enjoying it at the moment, the group has been great at welcoming me and I’m absolutely loving Adelaide,” Curtin said. 'It (Adelaide) is not too different from Perth really, it’s really chilled, really laid back which suits my personality very well'

C4[2]Yo`DooR think's he's pretty settled/happy here, yeah?

Things can change in a short time.

They can also not change.

Regardless we have absolutely no way of knowing, players who are leaving are still going to (usually) do media talking about how great they club is and players who are staying are still usually subject to rumours that they are going to leave when there's cause for speculation (OOC, go home factor etc). For now Curtin is contracted so it's very improbable he's going anywhere.

This was in February. As I have stated before we have had players leave while contracted.

McGovern signed a contract in 2017 and left for Carlton 2018

I said we have had players leave while under contract. My 10 year old would have understood the first time.

 

[NSolis]

Nobody is saying it is impossible that he leaves or that nobody ever leaves while contracted. There's just no particular reason to assume that it's happening at this stage, and most player movements happen while OOC.
