it'd be funny if he just put this in his profile to force the club to give it to him and no official decision has actually been made yet

[Swallow_Wood]

He's a good height for a 'small forward', similar to JHF. Lovely left peg on him.

 

[Sphynx]

He's going to have the hardest few months of his life, probably needs the first half a dozen rounds in the VFL.

Then, I think we will see him challenge for a spot mid year.

Given his goal scoring ability, he's probably able to play a bit earlier than if he was just purely a pressure forward, he wouldn't have the tank.

 

[King Corey]

He almost has a spot to himself on the list if he can get himself up to basic physical spec.

We have no other small forwards who were putting up strong scoring numbers (albeit erratically) in their junior year to compete with his.

I could be wrong but Im pretty sure Noble recruited Charlie Cameron twice.
That is a pretty good track record with small forwards.

I spoke to someone close to the Western Jets and he said Paul Curtis is the best talent to come out of their program in over 5 years. When i raised Eddie Ford, he replied that Curtis had more talent and worked just as hard as Ford. He said if he had to pick out the two who would make it he didn't hesitate and say Curtis.

His words when describing Curtis were smart, evasive, great skills and has courage.

I asked him about Ford and he said heaps of talent just needs to stay focussed. Thinks there will be no.issue with Curtis on that front.

We'll see I guess, he could be a mate of Curtis for all I know but an interesting convo.

FFS Jason, you been taking knife safety lessons from Sam Durdin or something?!

Don't even joke about it! The though sends a shudder down my spine.

Thanks for the info.

Did he forget about the no 1 pick 4 years ago in Rayner?

Curtis
Ford







Rayner?..

 

[Frank Thring]

Thanks for the info.

Must have. I only raised Ford as a comparison.

 

[Shinboner1]

I forgot rayner was even in the AFL

 

[Souup]

Rayner was stupidly overrated. I'm not saying this in hindsight - I posted rankings on here before that draft and had Rayner ~15th from memory.

Curtis over Rayner for me

Out of curiosity, who did you have as number 1 for that draft?

 

[Souup]

LDU

 

[Clarence2norton]

LDU

I didn’t have Rayner as low as you but I definitely had LDU as the best prospect in that draft.

Couldn’t believe it when he slid to pick 4.

I hope this isn’t looked back upon like Super Gav > Pendles.

I’m with ya mate, Curtis is to Michael Walters what Jono Brown is to duck.

This is some high level tempting of fate s**t here....

This will be a big year for that draft crop. Brayshaw, Naughton and Bailey are great players already. Some of the others have shown promise. This is the year that a few (including LDU and Sleevo) will be hoping to become consistent A graders.

Bears did very well in that draft

Bluws had a stinker

 

[Heaps of fun]

Bears did very well in that draft

Bluws had a stinker

Blues have a stinker every draft.
