Did Robbie ever look as gleeful and ready to go in the forward role as Charlie? He's so bloody natural in the role (set shots aside) it's not even funny

My memory fails me!

I am watching the replay and he looks a level behind the VFL players playing for the Bullants.

6 disposals and 3 tackles for the game doesn't exactly leap out from the stats package, and yet when he started his first games seemed full of promise.

Mysterious

Mysterious

Player development has been an issue for yrs.Curtis might just be another player added to the list unfortunately

 

[DuckYeah]

Got about 7 options in this game better than ccj

CCJ kicked 9 in a vfl game. Dont hold your breath.

Comben set shots are of genuine concern as a forward, much the same as Robbie.

It turned out alright for Robbie, so here’s hoping it works. Let’s also hope he can play a lot of games in a row in the seniors.

I’ve said it before, but I think his set shot issues are exaggerated.

He’s alright at the start of a quarter. But when fatigue kicks in, he looses it. Otherwise, he’s alright.

if he gets continuity and fitness, kicking in games will
Improve a lot.

Unfortunately he won’t be around in 2025 trade bait 4th round pick or delist

Part of good technique helps you perform when fatigued.

Helps. But doesn’t overcome the fact that he’s been injured more than not and can’t get any fitness and conditioning in his game.

He just does not give a *.
Looks like he has Other priorities .

The strongest catalyst to a player developing to their full potential is being self driven. The lack of it with some players recruited over the years was a massive frustration to those charged with guiding them to be the best version of themselves. I suspect Curtis falls into that category, and his underdeveloped physique illustrates as much.

has already made peace with his coming delisting. What's good for us is that the senior team seems to have moved well past his average form now that he's not even bothering to compete for a spot with Young, Perez, Howe etc. all gone.

True , but some players do need extra guidance and a but if a push. We seem to have had a high number not make it. Constant coach changes hasn’t helped and maybe the recruiters have just been poor in being aware of how driven some of these players are. Whatever the reason we have struggled.

Should be delisted if he doesn’t give a * - he should be one of
the better players at vfl level

 

[The Nostradamus]

Would like to see butler and Harrop come in for the injured Bergman and Harvey

You say underdeveloped but he'll be the biggest guy out there when he hits schoolies.

 

[King Corey]

No offence to Charlie but Robbie was a much, much more rounded player even during his formative AFL years.
