Player Watch Daniel Curtin

[MrBarry]

Knew this guy was going to be a superstar, but thought it might take another few years. He's already where I thought he would be midway through next year.

 

[Mutineer]

Finish the season like this and rising star candidate surely?

Seems like an excellent call

 

[Crow_68]

Moving up for him will end up being Hamish/Reid’s best moment

Lots of head shaking over in Sydney tonight.

How is Phoenix Gothard going?

Softly.

No, that’s Hamish, not Curtin, surprised you didn’t know that

North drafting Zuursma over Curtin always boggled me too, they’d kill to have a talent like Dan on the wing instead of ‘Dylan Stephens’

 

[earlsta]

Guy is a genuine gun.. damn he is going to be one of the best players in the comp

 

[Redleg Crow]

Just glad they moved him to the wing. Playing the nothing role up forward was not doing him any favours. Since they put him on the wing the improvement the increase confidence has been for all to see

And when I say all to see…

 

[Redleg Crow]

Forgot we traded picks with GWS to get him.

 

[FR0GGY]

He’s just cool as a cucumber

 

[Kid A]

Someone at the MCG shouted 'Kick it to Modra!' in the 4th quarter - thought it was a good call!

 

[Cleric]

Thank gawd he played that game after he re-signed. He ran around like an unregistered dog today.
He is getting better and better as the weeks go on. So glad Nicks kept playing him when it seemed he wasn't really finding a position.
Hopefully the confidence boost he gets from today will power him on from.here.

 

[LoBu]

Pretty happy to have Curtin 20+ possession on sportsbet today (gamble responsibly) @$4.50.

Also put on rising star @$51 after the extension, now in to $12 after today.

Even happier that Curtin is now impacting on games, not just this week but against quality opposition. The Hawthorn game performance showed this, and now we see the form can carry through games to be Curtin's standard.

 

[Betts are off]

Like I've said all season. Don't try and fit Curtin into the side. Pick him first and select the team around him.

Im ready to glue his magnet to the white board!

People finally starting to get on board with the Unicorn this kid really is!

 

[Soggy2112]

The marking is becoming such a weapon. As soon as he has a mismatch, which is basically always because few players of his size have his mobility, we can just put it on his head and he’s almost guaranteed to mark it.

He slowly but surely is starting to bring all the attributes that were noticed at junior level on to the AFL field. A lesson in why you persist with talent and let them grow at senior level.

Now just do the same with Draper.

Campo wanted him to go back to the SANFL and sure up a spot at some point. There really are 'experts' in the media calling the game who are stealing a living.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Is that Cody in an AFC jumper?

 

[MrBarry]

This has aged so badly...

 

[PeterSalt]

Is that Cody in an AFC jumper?

Probably. They were all in Adelaide this week for Cody's game for WA in the U18's based on Dan's interview after he extended

 

[Mutineer]

Is that Cody in an AFC jumper?

Brother Cody there very uninspiring for WA earlier today.

 

[Crow-eater]

I don’t know which play was better, the intercept mark, side step, and kick to Max for his 3rd, or the centre clearance to Thilthorpe for his 5th.

Both of them made me go

 

[FR0GGY]

Is that Cody in an AFC jumper?

Looks like we’ll get a fine for draft tampering

 

[FR0GGY]

It’s good we are starting to look for him because he’ll out-mark any winger he’s on.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What about the take in traffic when he bounced the ball like a basketball to gather it, broke free and delivered a weighted handball to Peatling?
