Yyeah and 1/3 die doing the speed limit, the worst thing someone has done in their life is not the sum of their whole character, I wonder if people are judging him more harshly because of his native skin.

No one is judging him by his skin FFS! We are all judging his decision for drink driving (potentially putting lives on risk) failing to take a breatho (another dumb and stupid mistake) and obviously going through a stop sign which again is mind boggling.. None of those have got nothing to do with skin at all, its all up in between the ears.

Forget about age, race, colour, etc.. he is an idiot for what he did.

    being a Aboriginal they are judged more harshly.

    I reckon you'd find 99% of people don't even know the Curnow's are Indigenous.

    well there you go, i didn't even know (if he is) that he was indigenous

    i must look at people's skin more closely in future, eh?

    I didn't. And a quick internet search shows Ed Curnow listed in several Indigenous players listings but also not mentioned in Carlton articles about Betts/Yarran/Garlett and talk about him being Mauritian.

    As far as I care the Curnow's are from Geelong. I consider that a separate racial grouping.

    Yes Goodsy.

    yes mat randell exposed the truth on how clubs view natives make no mistake Australia is a racist country.

    funny never occured to me that Curnow may be indigenous... Its irrelevant. What is , is that he made some very poor choices and possibly endangered people.

    Colour isnt a factor here...stupidity is. and thats ALL its about.

    The notion of racism is a straw element

    Seems that this is in fact true....It's been kept pretty quiet.

    For some reason knowing this makes me want the Dees to draft him now.

    Knowing how enigmatic and electric indigenous players can often be that excites me that he could become a Goodes like forward/mid with great endurance & goal sense.

    I was just thinking yesterday that this is exactly what we need - a match winner. Now I know why I was sticking up for him so much.

    Club Aboriginal players in 2007-2011 [1,2,3,4,5,7] Adelaide Crows (SA) Andrew McLeod, Cameron Ellis-Yolmen, Ed Curnow, Graham Johncock, Jared Petrenko, Jarrhan Jacky, Jonathon Griffin, Richard Tambling, Tim Milera, Tony Armstrong

    Charlie,

    All is forgiven mate...just focus on sobering up and we'll see you on the stage in Adelaide on Tues night wearing Demons colours.

    Mock Draft edit:

    1. Carlton - Weitering

    2. Brisbane - Schache

    3. Sydney - Mills

    4. Melbourne - Parish

    5. GWS - Hopper

    6. GWS - Kennedy

    7. Essendon - Francis

    8. Essendon - Oliver

    9. Gold Coast - Milera

    10. Melbourne - Curnow

    11. Carlton - Weideman

    Drafing the two Falcons boys together would be a good outcome.

    Curnow isnt aboriginal hes white

    I don't know why, but i'm finding that Curnow and Weideman are the 2 guys i'm hoping we land. Even with the respective D/D incident and underwhelming testing.

    Parish just appears to be very vanilla to me. Curnow has X-factor, plus a tank and big body to possibly make it in the mid-field.

    Weideman also fills another need for us. KPF who can help out Max in the ruck from time to time.

    You've sold me.

    Edit:

    Pick 4 - Weidemen

    Pick 10 - Curnow

    Pick 40 - Lovell

    Pick 46 - Morgan

    People are obssessed with Jesse Stringer prototype.

    He is not Jesse Stringer.

    Looks slower and has little form to suggest he will be a midfielder.

    Jake Stringer.

    Jesse Stringer played for Geelong.

    Edited the bit about his (Jesse's) violent side out.

    And just when you thought this thread had reached its quota of moronic posts.

    I posted this elsewhere, but it's worth being in the appropriate thread...

    Oliver shone in the strong GVFL senior competition in 2014 as a 16/17 year old.
    He played 11 games in the midfield, kicked 9 goals and was named in the best on 6 occasions. He played 6 of the 11 games as a 16 year old - against men.
    He's from Echuca, where his Father also played football and his Mother netball. Todd Viney lived in Echuca for years and I suspect he knows a great deal about Oliver and his pedigree. Maybe he doesn't want to let another Ollie slip. And he seems to play in a very similar fashion, although he has better pace and sideways movement.
    The more I learn about him the more I like.

    Charlie Curnow thread champ.

    You mean Jake Stringer, and its unlikely we'll find a comparison to Stringer. He is Ablett Snr like in his strength, confidence and football skills. Unlikely to reach the heights of the great man, but likely to be a superstar all the same. I don't see any comparisons in this draft.

    He looks like copping the ultimate punishment for his mistake, being drafted by Carlton.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
