God I’m excited to see this kid in the tricolours

Most exciting prospect for us since I’ve followed the U18’s

I believe that’s Mr Gilmore’s!

 

[adelaidecrows]

Impressed with his interview.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Impressed with his interview.

If impresses on field early as I expect he will we should be looking to lock him for a long generous contract.

 

[LoBu]

Was confident Curtin would be a player and stay long term until he got the No. 6 guernsey

Here's a list of former number 6's.

Bryce Gibbs

A bunch of misfits, journeymen, castoffs and leavers apart from Modra, and even he went west to Freo.
Losing the faith a bit, but at least he wasn't pick 6 as well.

Who better to break the curse of Modra's number 6, first started by a trade to Fremantle than a Fremantle supporter in Curtin?

[AFC979810]

At $15 to 1 - looks very good odds for the Rising Star Award.

He screams the type of player that will be played loose across half back as the 3rd tall defender.

Fingers crossed he can do a Daniel Talia

rather than an Otten/Doedee.

Actually think the ridiculous saturation in Perth over H Reid (in the paper according to Sumich “40 times including back page 20 times”) will work in our favour re-signing Curtin. Weagles will likely absolutely suck for at least another few years in which time Curtin can either sign a 2-3 year extension as one of many talented elite projected youngsters in a contending team, or go home and join Harley as the saviour and be in the paper every day.

[glengowan]

Only saw about 5 minutes of the trial and one glimpse of Curtin on the TV, but I thought it was Michalanney the way he came back and took the intercept mark. That is a good sign.

First contest I saw him in he looked like he wasn't moving very well. Not sure why we'd persist with him in match sim if he's sore.

Probably a critical few games for him to get a feel for how AFL works. He will get 2 weeks off after this game before round 1 anyway. If we want him to perform at a decent level this year in the A's then i dont mind him playing these games to form a foundation for the season to come.

 

[crows dude]

Bloody hell now Daniel has an ingrown toenail according to VB, anyone that has had one knows they're bloody painful,

Yep.

Ever since I got one and took two cut outs by a podiatrist to get rid of it I have had my toe nails done by the podiatrist. As i was terrible at cutting them. Not one ingrown nail since.

 

[NT Thunder1]

Might explain why he hasn't been moving so freely. Those things can be quite painful

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Does this mean his knee is fine?

 

[cleanhands]

Couldn’t they jab it?

 

[cmndstab]

Yep.

Ever since I got one and took two cut outs by a podiatrist to get rid of it I have had my toe nails done by the podiatrist. As i was terrible at cutting them. Not one ingrown nail since.

I had an ingrown toenail that got infected, and I couldn't rid of the infection for a year. I remember a friend of mine had a fridge with a real heavy door, and it swung open one time and the bottom corner jammed against my toe, and I legit passed out for a second. Woke up sitting in the sink.

In the end, my doctor did a wedge resection, packed the wound full of antibiotics, and bandaged it back up. That night after the anaesthetic had worn off was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I couldn't believe how much one damn toe could hurt. It felt like it was being stabbed with a hot knife.

Needless to say I have been extremely meticulous in avoiding anything like that ever since.

 

[Apsaalooke]

Does this mean his knee is fine?

Not necessarily

 

[Crow till I die]

According to Channel 9 it's infected so cortisone or xylocaine etc maybe not.

Just baffled why they are not giving him time off to allow it to heal and for his knee to get further treatment..its only preseason, why the rush to play him?

 

[Trigger13]

Seems Curtin will be playing some minutes in the SANFL trial against Westies on Saturday morning at Football Park Channel 9 reporting 10.00AM start bigman

That prob suggests he’s not quite in round 1 plans.

 

[StonesThrow]

That bandage on his knee was just dealing with the toe infection all along.
