Charles Curnow is the real deal

[Always Ballin]

At 6-4 205 with great length, mobility, and skillset... Charles is for real.

I can see him exploding for 40+ goals this season. Already has 5 majors.

Wouldn’t call that exploding, but yes, gonna be a very good player.

205 what?

 

[Always Ballin]

6-4 with the leg length of an average 6-8 man. Pretty damn good crural index too. Can move fast. Great athletic proportions. Optimal center of gravity/mass + great stride length for optimal bipedal locomotion.

Wingspan looks monstrous. I'm thinking atleast 6-9 or 6-10.

He can be everywhere and anywhere with that combination of size, length and mobility.

Someone’s got a massive horn dog for Charles

 

[Slysh]

Very good player with a lot of talent, but tonight just shows us what we already know he can do.

For him to take that next step he needs to do it week in week out. Can't wait to see what he can do in the next 10 or so years.

One of the most exciting young talents in the game at the moment!

 

[Upgrayedd]

Ild be blowing my load if i was a carlton man.

Has shown he's a modern day CHF, just needs to be consistant and give Carlton a target night in and out and they'll be a much better team immediately. However bit of an ask for what, a third year forward who's 21.

I think he's a 250 gamer 500+ goal type player. Great get

 

[TheCuzEffect]

He earned 2 if the goals. 3 were gifted. He'll be a good player. Nothing special though.

He was the best forward on the ground tonight.

Pretty easy when 3 out of 5 goals were free kicks and 50 meter penalties.

Some people watch the games without ever understanding what's before them. People aren't simply commenting on the goals...

needed to be said, but to be fair, you can't win bizarre 50m encroachment penalties if you haven't taken a mark in the first place, so the kid is on the right track.

Blues have been looking for a Tom Bell replacement for a while now, Curnow could be just the ticket.

I suppose Jack riewoldt specialised in meaningless red time goals for years

Have to start somewhere

 

[Juddernaut08]

Agree that 5 goals probably overstates his game. Boy is he exciting though! Still a few mental farts like always going for the mark

 

[FISTO]

Not everyone can be "205"... That's pretty special.

 

[The_Eagles]

He set the scene for the blistering start by the Blues. Moved like a superstar at times, with Cripps and Curnow Carlton should rise sooner or later

 

[Thrawn]

Curnowfides.

 

[blitzer]

Looks to be a gun. I expect this thread will get bumped plenty of times throughout the year.

Not every week will go as well (nature of key forward position) but he looks to be a future top 10 key forward and from there who knows.

 

[Troystenvic]

Are we going to get a thread about every young player that has a good game. Wow wee.

Hater alert! Hater alert!

 

[brett15]

Solid game, kid can play

 

[The Dice Man]

Cripps is massive too. Carlton looked more like a 'team' than they have in a long time. Finally turning all those high end draft picks into something.

 

[SBYM]

Who?

Amazing how people let parochialism cloud their perceptions.
