Player Watch #25: Paul Curtis

[king of the road]

Bears did very well in that draft

Bluws had a stinker

Over time, Nth have had a great draft form that year - probably the best. LDU, Sleevo & Bonar… Was CCJ next picked too?

I wouldn’t be putting Bonar in that category of players …..

Yep pick 20

Haha the bloke we took at #11 in the rookie draft goes ok too.

And hopefully CCJ is not a complete cat.

Paul Curtis - 25

Curtis will carry on the legacy of the number 25, most recently vacated by the outgoing Robbie Tarrant. The 2016 Syd Barker Medalist, Tarrant played 174 games in royal blue and white, primarily as a defender after initially being drafted as a forward.


After starting his career wearing the number 49, Xavier Tanner donned the number 25 in time to play a key role in the 1977 premiership, and went on to play exactly 100 games for the club.

’s father Donald McDonald also wore the number for most of his North career, wearing it for 147 of his 155 games, including the 1984 season where he finished as the club’s leading goal kicker.

Not sure if it's been posted before.

Hope he can prove me wrong but not sure Bonar will even be on an AFL list in 3 years time much less put in the ‘great draft form’ category.

From the limited vision I’ve seen of Curtis and the stuff I’ve read I must admit to being positive about this one
A smart, skilful small forward is an effective one. Doesn’t need much of the ball to have a scoreboard impact

New Roo Curtis sets his sights on round one debut

Draftee Paul Curtis has a clear goal in mind for his first season at North Melbourne

178cm’s?.. Surely that’s a typo. Not great that it’s on our club’s site. He’s around 183 I‘m sure I’ve read

Looking at the photos he's a lot taller than 178

Closer to 6'1 than 5'10

 

[Roopassion]

He’s 185cm

Couldn't agree more....it's an article on NMFC.....178 would put him around Phoenix's height. He's clearly much taller than that. He won't be happy

 

[Shinboner1]

Drafted as a small forward, has a growth spurt and ends up as a ruckman

 

[Val Keating]

Wants to play round 1. Good attitude

 

[King Corey]

I don't know. We're kinda overstocked for electric opportunist small forwards in the seniors.

Maybe he can "play 178CM".

You better sit down for this KC - Fruity and Winnie have retired

At least we still have John Barnett....d'oh!!!

But Tom "Amazing Race" Wilkinson is still on the list right? He kicked 5 goals in the NEAFL.

A forward line with Declan Watson (2019 Preseason Training Premiership Player at Full-forward) clunking them from all angles and NEAFL Tommy prowling could be devastating.

Mainly to our chances of kicking many goals.

Yeah we’ve come a long way since those heady days in such a short time

Don't forget about Lachie Hosie, he has been kicking bags of goals for fun in the VFL.
