Past 30. Charlie Curnow

[GoBlues!]

Always harboured a suspicion that Charlie was the player who wrestled Cunnnningham and did his shoulder in a preseason.

See you Charlie. Thanks for the good bits.

 

[RPCB]

Why is that giving me Simpsons vibes?

 

[BennyGFunk]

Good riddance sook!

Same goes to you JSOS, TDK I can understand...

 

[skadoosh]

I don't see Charlie doing any better up in Sydney to be honest.

He's 1 year older. He will still be their number 1 forward - will still be double and triple teamed. And I see no reason why he will suddenly give 2nd or 3rd efforts.

 

[JustaBattler]

Thanks for the 3 firsts and Hayward - Eastern suburbs sydney is where all the tossers live- and you'll fit right in.

PS stay away from North Shore especially Queenscliff or the Bower - accidental board flicks are a thing for non locals.
Cheers JaB.

 

[Schoonerman]

Just glad it’s done now and we can all move on and look forward to our eventual rise with players that love the emblem and want to be here

 

[sparkybagger]

I respect the exceptional talent but don't accept the lack of professionalism in his approach. He's mentally weak and lacks intelligence. I'd rather have someone with less talent but a total pro any day of the week.

Should never have been appointed to the leadership group and his brain fades should have been coached out of him by now. I'm tired of the indulgence of clowns like him, Gov and others. The sooner we remove these conditional players the better.

Sydney got a marketable player they need. We got options and a means to reshape the team. I know which I'd rather.

I reckon there will at least be a period of him back to his best or maybe even more so, but the question will be how many bad habits creep back in or how his knees/ankles hold up.

At the Blues either the coaches were fine with him not chasing, or Charlie just didn't listen to the coaches.

Either way, don't see him suddenly chasing opposition defenders once the ball spills.

Agree - he will definitely fire, maybe even for a whole season. Sustainabiltiy is the question.

Ultimately, he is a gun and will make them better

 

[gandaal]

He's a massive loss. No getting around that. He was our matchwinner, the kids loved him, and he was a freak of a player. We are far less dangerous without him.

But his lack of professionalism meant that it was unlikely we'd ever win a flag with him.

Get stuffed Charlie. Hope you have a miserable time in Sydney.

 

[lily of laguna]

Professionally handled by the club.

Not sure a club with great culture would have found themselves in our position but with the new club leadership now in place moving Charlie on and extracting the best deal we could was the right move especially given his attitude.

We have added some very good players with great qualities on and off the park (seems to me) and if we were going to change from last year, changes needed to be made to the playing group.

As an optimist I believe our team will perform better next season with an improved depth, mindset and commitment to succeed.

Thanks for your time and effort Charlie but as a club we have moved on from you now.

Thanks Charlie, enjoyed the show.

Unbelievable to watch at times, but also demoralising to watch at times.

Can't help feeling we will learn and get better from here.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Was one of my favourites, I think we got a really good deal for him, and for that I thank Charlie, but you're on the other side of the fence now big boy.

 

[RPCB]

Dude looks like everyone’s local butcher, but shit, he’s good at what he does.

Just looking for a new townhouse in Sydney, make sure it has a pool, a basketball ring and some slippery stairs nearby where I can practice my somersault slam dunks with my Havianas.

 

[Robertio]

Thanks for the memories Charlie you were great at times but don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[ESKIE]

Loved Charlie when he was ‘on’ and when he was younger I never thought he would turn into the gun he became. I was initially dirty on him for wanting out, but he has his reasons and I don’t believe he was part of some bad culture or standards, we’ve had cultural probs way before Charlie was drafted. We’ve done very well with the trade, I wish him well, but not against us..you’re the opposition now

 

[Gethelred]

Hope this gets you what you want, Charlie, because this will be a mountain of pressure beyond what I think you're prepared for.

Charlie ran away from breathalyser

Charlie ran away from responsibility for his injury

Charlie ran away from owning his poor form

Charlie ran away from feedback

Charlie ran away from courageous leadership

Charlie ran away from contract

Charlie ran away from responsibility to young members

Charlie ran away from loyalty

Never had to earn anything.

Until now.
