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?

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.

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.

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. 
 

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.

Someone needs an atlas or a new travel agent.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
