Not wanting to sound like a killjoy, but everytime I see a contract extension message pop up on my phone, I have my fingers crossed its Dan Curtin signing on long term with us. I know he still has 2 years after this one, but I don't want a circus going on with the media about him as I want his best years to be with us as I maintain he will become a super quality player in and around the midfield.

There is no point signing an extension because he wont get the pay day he would get if he starts fulfilling his potential. If I was his manager I would say we wont entertain any contract offer until the end of next season. The kid has to play some meaningful AFL games first. With a good core of young players though around the club im sure that alone will entice him to stay when the time comes. Especially if we are on the rise by then.

Watching Daniel’s face on the sidelines makes me feel like a father that has lovingly walked his daughter down the aisle full of hopes and dreams for her life only to realise the second she completes her nuptials that her new husband is a complete a**ehole.

He knows Nicks will be sacked next year, anyone can see Nicks is a shit coach.

Next year? F**k me you blokes are out of finals contention, battling ladder placing with a team who until very recently looked like getting two 1Rs one pick ahead of you (and still might) at the pointy end and the decision is made to leave your pick 8 on the pine until the final moments of the game.

That’s not development that’s a total lack of insight, Simmo would be a better option for the last 3 games and he was the credit crew king!

It’s embarrassing

Well that's Nicks for you, Curtin is on a 3 year contact and seems to be a very good team mate from what I've seen him at the SANFL level.

From Feb:

"I know that once that debut comes I’ll be ready for it, the work I’ve done this pre-season has put me in great stead and I am super excited to show what I can do when the opportunity arises.ā€

Nicks finally freed him from the gulag and he kicks 2 goals in the final quarter
Once he gets taught his running patterns, he'll he a star...

Easily one of the most talented players we’ve brought in the door

Glad to see him get two tonight
Slow burn maybe but you are dead right, he has 'it' when he has ball in hand. Will be a huge player for us in years to come...if we can convince him to stay long term
 
He sure did only play well once he played in a position that was not in the midfield. If I'm to believe the thesis of this thread, those 2 goals were very harmful to his development.
