Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.

That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

Why would we be nervous about taking Curtin? Other than both are from WA, they are totally different types.

Yup - our recruiters being able to watch him play footy this year would be a big difference to drafting in 2020 for one.

We normally pick the player we have interviewed least. The more interviews could equal the most concerns.
Could also mean because he's so damn short we either:

a) couldn't see him the first couple of times
b) couldn't hear him the first couple of times
c) we lost him during the interviews a couple of times
 
I've been on the Curtin train but Ginnivan + Chol + Wiz would be an enormous injection of badly needed X-factor and scoring power into our forward line.

I could understand a go home factor, but what nonsense that the fact DGB hasn’t come on (like many others in the Covid draft) influencing our decision with Curtin.
Our player development doesn’t work if you’re from WA?
Can’t believe people get paid to write this shit.

Yes its frickin insulting to DGB. I hate it
 

This is how I imagine the conversation went...


Clarko: Hey, Curts! Mind if I call you Curts big fella?

Curtin: Hmm you know what I don't really thi-

Clarko: Curts, you're going to be a star down at North Melbourne. The boys are gonna love carolling with you.

Curtin: Carolling?

Clarko: Oh yeah! Shees, Wards, and some of the other young boys I'm still learning the names of, we'll all pile into the back of a CX-9 and take a trip up to Ascot Vale to do some door to door carolling. Content for the socials! It'll be a hit.

Curtin: Hmm, I don't kn-

Clarko: I'll be on my acoustic axe, but Curts, what are you a baritone or a tenor?

Curtin: I'm really not much of a singe-

Clarko: Nonsense Curts! This is how we're going to rebuild the culture. And you're a huge part of that. I see you as a 300 game shinboner legend. Why by the time you're done you're likely to have tens of wins!

Curtin: ...

Clarko: Think you can fix me up for the plane ticket to get out here to see you?
