He's right though that's the funny thing. Supporters can stick their heads in the sand as much as they like.
Curtin himself said the other day he’d relish relocating to Victoria if it went that way. They might come for him but if he’s happy sounds like he’d stay.
Maybe they see Libba etc getting on now? Preparing for the future? They certainly don’t need talls.

I didn't say he was wrong, just needs to work on his influencing skills.

Heard all that before. Once in the system for a couple of years ..who knows how he feels. Maybe he loves it. Maybe he finds it different than he thought. ... and if he wobbles at all both thos clubs would be all over him.

Sorry Fred, but that's about Lance Collard?See post 8277 above
If it was a post in this thread you are referring to, it did not directly say it's been an issue ALL his career, although it may have appeared to be the case. When he was a tagger, small forward, run with player, he seemed quick enough, our leading tackler easily, and very feisty.
Injuries have prevented him having continuity.
In recent 2 seasons, he has looked bulkier, perhaps slower, and I get the bulk may have been attempted strength gains in view of his injuries, who knows. Main thing is the running has been targeted and addressed as an area of improvement, so we all should be happy.

8277 is about Parfitt, as I said
"Lawrence said Parfitt was working on increasing his endurance, with his aerobic capacity a glaring weakness during his career so far."
Curtin is a hard one to read. I don't see a key defender but the kid can seriously play. I would take him over Sanders and not even blink. Averaged over 23 touches a game in the championships. Phenomenal for a 195 cm player

If we leave draft night with Curtin or Sanders we are laughing. Won't happen but I like daydreaming about it.
Assuming there’s no change to the draft order from here this is how it’s suggested the players might fall -
1. WC - Reid
2. GC - (bid) Walter
3. Nth - McKercher
4. Nth - Duursma
5. Haw - Watson
6. Bulldogs - Sanders
7. Melb - Caddy
8. GWS - O’Sullivan
9. Geel - Curtin
1. WC - Reid
2. GC - (bid) Walter
3. Nth - McKercher
4. Nth - Duursma
5. Haw - Watson
6. Bulldogs - Sanders
7. Melb - Caddy
8. GWS - O’Sullivan
9. Geel - Curtin

All of a sudden I'm happy to hold pick 8 for now.
If on draft night it's Caddy i would trade, if it's Curtin or O'Sullivan I would keep.

So Parfitt, a one position player if ever there was one, has lacked the very attribute required to play said position all his career. Does make you wonder.
Doubt WC offer their FF but could be wrong.
Surely we won’t get that lucky to get Curtain. He is exactly the type of player a team thats bereft of young 195cm players need.
Currently WCE and Freo wouldn’t have the ammo to come for it on draft night. Freo prob have pick 20ish (Shultz) + F1. I’d pass. WCE (unless they trade 1) would be 21 + F1. That would get it done but WCE wouldnt do that knowing it’s a big chance to be Pick #1 next year. If they did decide they have to have Curtain you’d guarantee they would have offered it to Melb and GWS who would have taken it before us.
As I’ve said before our pick just makes it into the last of the tier 1 players before it really evens out. To trade it you’d want. 3 picks over two drafts in the teens or a late first this year and a probable very early pick next year.

Perhaps there is a limit to the number of Jacks you can have on an afl list ?
Parfitt (maybe) snuck in when endurance was useful, but not as essential as it has become these days.

Sorry, I need glasses. Yes, it says his aerobic capacity has been an issue all career. That does not imply he has not been putting in the work, but, Not sure that is salvageable if he is a natural fast twitch fibre athlete. Good that they are attempting to rectify it.

Not really, Atkins lacked the tank and was used in limited spurts to ensure he could go 100% when on the field and recover on the bench, Bruhn still developing his was used in a similar fashion this year. Parfitt has had a very different journey, would have had enough of a tank to be the bull when Selwood, Danger, Guthrie needed a break, but never used in a rotational midfiled in the same manner we evolved in 2022. Developing a gas tank and ensuring he doesn't become too light to be a bull is probably the concern with his frame. I'm looking forward to seeing if he can break into this team, he appears to work hard on the track.
The draft bolter with “wheels” and the impressive brother of Fremantle youngster
Some youngsters are starting to gain interest ahead of the draft.

THE DRAFT BOLTER WITH “WHEELS” AND THE IMPRESSIVE BROTHER OF FREMANTLE YOUNGSTER
AFL Talent Ambassador Kevin Sheehan has identified one player who he believes will be a draft bolter in 2023.
As the draft looms closer, a lot of the talk in AFL circles starts to point towards the end of November when the fates of many budding youngsters will be known.
There are always players who move up the rankings late in the piece and experienced draft guru Sheehan has found one with excellent speed and endurance attributes.
Sheehan is a big fan of Sandringham Dragons midfielder Charlie Edwards who he believes AFL clubs could move on earlier than was first forecast.
“A kid like Charlie Edwards is there,” he said on SEN Breakfast.
“He is a kid who has emerged in the last seven weeks of the year. He’s got some wheels.
“Even in the endurance, he won his heat of the 2km. It might have been about a 6 minutes 20 or so. If someone had have been up with him, because he was way out in front, he could get up to about 6 minutes 10 which is very, very elite. So he’s got that speed/endurance combination at 190cm.
“So he’s your draft bolter that wasn’t even in the main combine in the 65, no doubt.”
Edwards is a Bendigo native who has been boarding at Melbourne Grammar and impressed for the Dragons in 2023
Just after clarification, the Dogs traded their future first to Gold Coast and their future third to Melbourne. I didn't think you could do that.
Going by what 4 went for.. and what 10 is apparently being shopped for ... 3 picks might be achievable ... it depends on the number.
