Do we think Curtin is a better midfield prospect than O’Sullivan, Smillie, smith or morales?

Unless a generational KPP you draft elite midfielders with top three picks. Trading one away for Curtin is madness.

And then you'll be able to say "I told you so"?

My final breath.

Imagine a full season of melb fans and lying death-riding us

Lol no. Curtin is not even ahead of Sanders as a mid.

That's the risk but I wouldn't melt if we take it.

On the flip side, we could hold their F1 when their culture finally implodes and the meth lad is discovered in Goodwin’s basement. Points stripped, top up players etc …we land pick 1

They call the meth lad Clayton.

Really, Sanders is good but also not amazing. I wouldn't label him a damaging midfield, more death by 1000 cuts. Curtin has good movement out of stoppage and elite kick and is quite good over head.

In saying that, I'm definitely playing him as a 3rd tall rebounding defender.

A showcase of the silky smooth and versatile Daniel Curtin at his best over the course of the 2023 season.

My thought is more we already have Ginbey, Hewett and extremely likely getting Reid for a future A Grade midfield. Do we need more mids next year as good as they might be? Add Long, Culley, Chesser, Hough, Burgiel and we've got plenty of young guys that can roll through there.

Taking Curtin as a 3rd tall rebounding defender is hardly madness.

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

Posters in here be like

“Don’t want Curtin” after he has lived up to expectations in his draft year

“Let’s get Moir” after sliding off most clubs draft boards

Because he isn't a top 2 talent

We definitely do need more elite mids, all of the best midfields bat deep. If it costs us a top 2 pick it is absolutely madness

Just a really expensive third tall rebounder

 

[Jukes]

After looking at the fixture, I’m not sure why everyone is melting over potentially giving up our 2024 pick 18 for a top 10 pick this year

 

[Spooky17]

I’m enjoying all the pre melts we are having about Curtin and future picks.

I am over the moon that we are likely taking Reid at pick one, but to potentially have another live trade on night one is exciting.

I obviously hope we don’t pay overs, but I’m looking forward to the draft even more now that the Eagles might be trading up.

Too many maybes in there for me to consider the build of our premiership winning midfield complete by bypassing an elite mid with what is a good chance to be a pick 1 for a 3rd tall.

I’d expect Wins above replacement differential to be much high between a midfielder picked at 1 and 30 than a 3rd tall defender at similar picks.

 

[ghostbat12]

As far as selling out future first to get Curtin, lets remember that the people running the club don't agree with most of their supporters and the unanimous consensus view within the AFL industry that we have the worst list in the league and are facing a 5 year rebuild with the next 3 years almost certain to be spent in the bottom 4. They just don't accept that recent results reflect where the club is at. That is very, very obvious.

So in their minds, they may well think that we will be challenging for the 8 next year and if everybody else thinks we are going to win the spoon then why not sell our future first and get a price for it that reflects/has the assumption baked in that we are likely to win the spoon? They might think they can sell our future first and the buyer will think they are getting pick 1 next year and pay a premium for that when in reality it will likely be pick 8 or 9 (in their minds).

Is that so?

Just watched the 2006 gf, now THAT was a midfield!

Curtin is A Grade, and I know rebounding defender doesn't sound appealing for what would be a high pick. But he's got the tools to become on the best defenders in the league.

Is that so?

This is an opinion board. It exists for the purpose of people posting opinions. If you are too immature to tolerate opinions that you don't agree with then maybe go and entertain yourself with a more low IQ activity like playing computer games or something.

I think it is fairly self explanatory that if you are wanting to trade your first pick next year for pick 7 or 8 this year then that means that you think it is likely that your first pick next year won't be significantly lower than 7 or 8. If you thought you were going to finish down the bottom again and end up with pick 1, 2 or 3 then you would not be entertaining this trade.

You also need to be mature enough to deal with people disagreeing with your opinions, which - let's be honest - 99% of are absolutely terrible.

Unless of course you rate the player being taken at pick 7 or 8 as a top 3 prospect and therefore are simply bringing the pick forward a year?

I don’t disagree mate I know he’s quality, could be an elite playmaker from the back.

Just a potentially very high price to pay for an inbetween

That’s not what you were saying. You were stating what club and people are doing and thinking with zero evidence from anywhere. I think that’s actually defamatory. Accusing without evidence is not a good thing to be doing in life (free advice).

Now of course you can have a view on whether the trade would be a shocker but that’s not what you were saying.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

People are forgetting the fact that Curtin will pretty much be a 200+ gamer for the club if he stays fit as there will never be a go home factor.

We currently don’t have an elite composed rebounder that could setup play for us as well as Lewis Jetta did and it was the absolute difference for us in all of 2018 between winning flag and not winning flag.

Brisbane is set to trade for Gold Coast's pick 24 once the draft starts next week, while Fremantle is in box seat to trade up its third-round picks for the Suns' pick 38. WB (for Darcy) & Lions (Ashcroft and Fletcher) both boosted their points haul with early trades those years.
