Player Watch Daniel Curtin - Out injured for 3 months

[Soggy2112]

Throw him in for 5 minutes a quarter to begin with, and by the time we get to the finals (assuming we are there) he'll have more of an impact.

I don’t think it’s that simple unfortunately.

I think it is, its not that hard at all.

Like Rachele, its not like the kid hasnt played midfield footy before.

Curtin has never really played midfield before. The high performance team would be focussing on building his aerobic endurance, and resilience, all while trying to maintain and increase his strength and power, while also trying to manage his loads effectively. On top of that, he’s now got a long term knee injury to worry about.

There needs to be a level of caution shown here.

Why didn’t you let them know what was going to happen?

Bloke’s a prophet, should have done something.

The fly was on Nicks' head.

Thats just the tip of the iceberg. He is also still learning to play AFL footy with only 32 games to his name.

He is also going to miss out on building all the chemistry with the midfield group / ROB. Working on the setups / defensive structures etc.

He might be used as a Hail Mary in a game if we are desperate for a clearance.
