At 2 min mark, “Curtin to Van Rooyen”… its a sign !

The kick to the 2v 1 20 sec in is also too Van Rooyen.

For those watching the highlights when he’s wearing #7 he’s playing Colts when wearing #16 he’s playing seniors

    I'm not sure why we're interested in Curtin. He doesn't seem to suit our game style.

    - Curtin takes the game on from the backline, rather than stop and kick it long down the line.

    - Curtin seems to hit a target when under pressure.

    I'm sure we'll knock these traits out of him if we draft him.

    I assume the article states that we flew over and had a chat to Curtin?

    I still really like O'Sullivan, but I'm warming to Curtin.

    Hawthorn the risk of taking Curtin at 4. Bulldogs likely to take Sanders at 5. 

    If Hawks go Curtin I wonder if we take Watson at 6 or go a different route.

    If Curtin is there at 6 it would be a gift. 197cm that can play key position but moves well enough to play midfield gee wiz. Some of his movement is Pendles like.

    They’ve recruited quite well this off season DD, my best mate is a long suffering Perth fan always spend a few games during the season with him sharing a few frothies in the Pig Pen

    Charlie Constable, Aaron Clark and now Blake Schlenslog are 3 fantastic pick ups.

    They really lacked the height and physical size all year and o think these guys really give them some flexibility.

    Agree I'll be over the moon if we can get him at 6. Surely Hawthorn don't pass him up

    I would love to have Dan Curtin playing for Melbourne. However, I believe North Melbourne or Hawthorn will draft him. It's important to note that Griffin Logue won't be playing until the middle of next year and McKay has gone to Essendon. North Melbourne desperately need to draft key defenders.

    Melb Perth is 2,700 km. Perth Esperance 600km. Round trip 6,600 km.

    I don't think our correspondent is up for a Pulitzer prize.

    They will probably have Elijah Scoble Kaleb Dempster-Park and Jake Watson from their Colts side also coming into contention for the senior side

    Agreed. As @Pennant St Dee reported to us (many moons ago), Curtin has excellent spatial awareness.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
