Universal Love Welcome Curtly Hampton

[Rotayjay]

Great to see this procession of arrivals. Fingers crossed we can get a deal done for Seedsman! Hopefully this will push some of the remaining mediocre players out of the side.

 

[Pugsley]

Mackay will be quaking in his boots.

 

[Pugsley]

Very happy with Craig David...... I mean Curtly. We desperately needed outside run and x factor and we've got that now.

He might need to hear more Taylor Swift so you better fill him in.

God no we don't need him crying after hear such emotionally deep lyrics.

Writing on the wall?

Yeah when Walsh arrived we seemed to get quicker but our recruiting strategy in 2014 didn't really reflect that aside from maybe drafting Wilson. Now in 2015 we seem to going after multiple players who will add speed. I like it.

pretty sure adding good users with pace was always in Walsh's master plan, just couldn't all be addressed in one off season.

adding that extra KPP in Lever was very high on the list of priorities. With that and especially the proceeds from Danger this year we're just in a better position to make a few moves.

and more on topic, really stoked to see this guy here, could really thrive and explode for us. Hopefully play a role in pushing that 2016 pick as far back as possible

Seems like an absolute ripping young lad!

And getting Bettsy into the club has been worth so much more than his on-field endeavours, the way he welcomes new recruits and takes the indigenous boys under his wing is phenomenal.

Maybe Rendell jumped the gun a bit.
He may have held back on his infamous comments if he'd had a crystal ball.
I did support him at the time.

 

[Tex Support]

I cant wait to see this guy running around the the tri colours.

Have a great feeling on this one.

 

[Pugsley]

God no we don't need him crying after hear such emotionally deep lyrics.

You'd just hope he isn't walking away

He may extract his head from his posterior. On second thought, won't happen.

And won't his uncle Gilbert McAdam of Marngrook Footy Show fame be wrapped to see his nephew finally getting his chance at a "good" club, tons of A grade potential with Curtly, let's now hope he can turn that potential into a consistent AFL quality A grade performance.[/QUOT]

Ohh really? Adrian McAdams was a freak show for North Melbourne as well. Came into that team and kicked bag after bag immediately. Bit of talent in the bloodlines.

 

[Footypie32]

I can't believe he hasn't met Macca yet.

 

[Pugsley]

I can't believe he hasn't met Macca yet.

Bit difficult from the NT

Mackay will be quaking in his boots.

Hopefully it will force him to lift his game or retire and free up some cash rather than run round in the seconds for three years

 

[jenny61_99]

Wonder why we paid next year's round 2 pick when we have two this year?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Saw him play 5x live this year and thought we should make him and Nathan Wilson targets

Needs to get fitter and improve his repeat efforts

Played angry all year and didn't look happy , think his performances could improve sharply if he settles in well

I hope that even after his footy career is over we keep Eddie around the club in some capacity. His attitude is infectious and surely he'd have tonnes of wisdom to offer any youngster starting their AFL journey.

As for Curtley, while the highlights package doesnt fill me with the highest of confidence, I'd glad we're adding more run and carry to our side. More speed and X-factor is something we desperately need. I think we're in for an interesting season seeing how it's all going to fit together, especially when you factor in first round draft picks.

 

[Sanguinarius]

Or even just get back to his natural game style. DMAC isnt a bad player when used correctly

 

[lunacy]

This is why the trade would have been delayed by a few days

Why?

Greg McAdam wasn't too shabby either!!

[spexau]

Why?

Well not delay it but i suspect that was all filmed and what not in the past 2 days. Noble did say that this trade would get sorted by today so it was probably agreed in principle then signed off today. Maybe medicals, etc?

 

[SES SA]

Looking at the Crows package, he should challenge Lever for the title of "candyman"

 

[Bucking Bronco]

He is so talented... Definitely has the potential to become an elite rebounding defender. I wonder if he is capable of playing inside/ outside mid as well like a Harley Bennell?

The Camries once again showing that they have the best talent identification of AFL listed players in the competition. Definitely a much better player than what you are likely to get at pick 35 next year.

I was hoping that the Dockers would pursue him, but I think he was only interested in playing in S.A.

Curt > Kurt

I am extremely critical of Mackay, and I know you're joking, but his effort isn't the problem - he's just not that good.
