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. 


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.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
