Speculation Daniel Curtin [OOC 2026]

[Mostyn]

Ah missed that.

Still clearly rated the kid

Absolutely. We were one of the clubs that had him at the very pointy end of our rankings.

 

[Cleric]

Word is that West Coast are going to make a play for Curtin at the end.of the year.
Considering their first pick this year was knocked back, what would it take to change Adelaide's mind?

Depends how much of a tantrum Curtin has about wanting to go home.

No tantrum means I doubt he goes anywhere

Why would he want to leave the SANFL though?

Word from who?

Tim Gossage?

 

[Crow till I die]

Its bewidering to us supporters why he is not in the main side. Its like nicks is encouraing him to say i'm out.

I am not wanting to lose him full stop as when he gets his chance i think he has tall midfielder in the jordan dawson

image..but taller. With 2 years to go on contract it would have to be WCE 1st this year or there is no benefit for the club to let him go.

 

[fnerd]

Word from who?

Tim Gossage?

Rival coach emerges as ‘leading contender’ for West Coast job

The Eagles are reportedly eyeing a left-field candidate who is still contracted to lead another club.

7news.com.au

Port Adelaide senior assistant Josh Carr was asked about the reports on Monday.

“I think you’ve probably just got to look at the source first — I think it was Gossage, wasn’t it?” he said.

“It’s never that reliable, is it? (laughs)“

There has been some sulking.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

I’m in the minority but I don’t mind him in the SANFL, but I want to see a few AFL games. Was completely out his depth earlier in the year, also coming off knee issues. Only played 3 odd midfield games, another 1 or 2 won’t hurt.

Once we get players back there won't be a spot for him. The opportunity was this week.

Not playing ahead of Borlaise is a big deal I think. Its pretty hard to figure out what they are doing with that one.

Would suggest we split our pick to Gold Coast and then offer you pick 7 or the like with you just walking away with equal value if we wanted to make the move. Top 3 pick is overpay

You do know Borlase is a KPD and Curtin was meant to replace Dawson who isn't a KPD.

Could have been in for either player if you ask me... Wouldnt say no to him playing either role ahead of who you have picked.

Id have thought even in the midfield spot he would be ahead of Jones/Bond .

Jones has been named at HB (he has been very poor playing on wing this season and got dropped) and Bond play the tagging role.

So he should be playing but not ahead of anyone you named to pLay. Fantastic logic that

He should be playing in Dawson's role.

From Curtin?

Opposite is true. He's been a great teammate.

 

[ChairmanZia]

he's overlooked again, i think its curtins for him at adelaide.

 

[fnerd]

Adelaide is where top draft picks go to die

Only a matter of time now before wallsy brings the boy home .

Then watch him flourish

 

[Tugga27]

He came on as the sub.

 

[ABAB]

He came on as the sub.

Was subbed half way through the 3rd quarter, looked good when he came on but then Nicks benched him until midway through the 4th. At least Curtin knows he will outlast Nicks......

With that 10 minutes on the bench in the 4th quarter I got a feeling he was planning the financials around his house purchase in North Perth in late November

"Daniel, are you ready to go"
"Yes I am"
"Well get up off the bench, Hugh Bond is coming off"
"Oh you meant on the field...."

 

[Cleric]

You can be a great team mate but still be upset you ain't getting a game.

 

[Cleric]

If he does ask for a trade at the end of the year, and I don't know if he will, it will be interesting to see if he gets treated in the media the same way Horne Fancis did when he was leaving a Victorian team after one season.
