Toast Charlie 'The King of Princes Park' Curnow - 2022 AFL Coleman Medalist

[Corn Cobbers]

He’s shorter than Silvagni and Plowman and the same height as Setterfield.

Crazy

That fact is even more impressive than the comeback

Prodigious talent.

He may single-handedly get Carlton into the finals by 6pm this afternoon.

Funny if Naughton feasts on the Hawks....

 

[joy division]

Hawkins and Cameron finishing equal 3rd in the Coleman 3 goals behind Curnow is something as well.

 

[gbatman]

Great combination of someone who is an athlete but also a pure footballer.

 

[TheBigHorne]

I barely watched much Carlton before all of his injuries so I wondered what all the noise was about.


All of my expectations were blown out the water this year. He is a freak.

 

[Toump Ass]

Great player, wonderful story. Reckon he'd be feeling pretty average about his effort today though.

 

[pablo668]

Not the best of days for him today. Been watching him closely all season and I think he's a champion.

 

[Cringle]

Average game from Chokey Curnow

 

[Dockeroo]

An unbelievable blunder in the last 90 seconds of the season. Ignores a team mate on the 50m arc unmarked to kick it long, straight back to Collingwood. A mind numbingly stupid error. They were only a point down!!!! He’s cost them finals just as much as Durdin did 30 secs later.
Incredible.

Of course Bigfooty manages to bastardise everyone’s words.

We all know what OP meant.

Relax.

Well I don't think it's crazy when someone says it's the most inspiring story of the year to reply that they think others are?

That doesn't take away from Curnow either.

If you want unadulterated applause I reckon the Carlton board might deliver that.

 

[HTPunter]

He's just about my favourite key forward to watch because as others have said, he plays on instinct. Probably equal to Jez Cameron for just doing what feels right.

Awesome and worthy winner, and a great story of maturity too.

 

[Elixuh]

From King to peasant in less than 24hours, you hate to see it

 

[Yoda_]

Get around him folks !!!

Biased, but in my opinion he is the most amazing and inspiring story of this season

I know we all want the story to be about our team but there is literally no better story than Paddy McCartin this year

Apparently professionals told him to stop playing, said F U, went up to play state league with his brother for a year and then got picked up after a year.

Gets better, positional shift to a new role never played before and becomes one of the better defenders in the comp
In a side likely to finish top 4.

Now if that ain’t the story of the year then I don’t know what is

How bad was his game?

laughably bad decision making and execution all day

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Charlie would trade that Coleman Medal in to be able to take a couple of those kicks again. Not the smartest footballer.

How bad was his game?

If there was a medal for choking then Charlie would have two medals right now.
Awful game but how come no one told him to slow down a little, he was rushing everything the entire game.

lost his head completely

 

[RichLeMonde]

Great player, but head way too small for body. Nice achievement (the Coleman that is).

lost his head completely

Perhaps not a coincidence.. it’s easier to lose things when they’re small

 

[Madblue]

Great reward for a quality season but was poor today and cost us bigtime

 

[Area51]

Prodigious talent.

Only 6 disposals, 2 marks and 0.2 in the first two quarters but was one of the major reasons why the Blues got back into the game as he managed 11 disposals, 6 marks, 2 goals along with 6 score involvements.

 

[master bate]

The most talented forward in the game and an incredible come back season.

He'll have all summer to think about 2 huge mistakes in the last quarter:

1. The really rushed snap early in the last when killing time, letting his team mates set the zone and catch their breaths and then converting was so important.

2. Burning Durdin and going the long bomb to a pack of Collingwood defenders.

If he comes back next year as not only a proven talent but a leader he can drag Carlton to huge heights.
