Player Watch #25: Paul Curtis

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.


Luke McDonald’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.

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

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

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.

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