Cody Curtin brother of Dan. Very intriguing write up .... A powerful key forward who can also provide back-up in the ruck, Curtin was playing as a key defender in the WAFL Colts for much of last year but now looks best suited to the attacking end of the ground. A strong physical presence inside-50, he excels in one-on-one contests, has good hands overhead, is a penetrating kick and generally finishes off his work in front of goal. The knock has been Curtin’s agility, but he possesses reasonable endurance for a player of his size. The younger brother of Adelaide young gun Daniel, Curtin bookended his under-18 national championships campaign for Western Australia with three-goal games against Vic Country and Vic Metro but was quieter in the other two matches. Curtin then had a monster day out upon his return to Claremont in the WAFL Colts, kicking six goals from 16 disposals and eight marks (three contested), before being sidelined by shin splints. He returned in the run to finals, though, and kicked six goals from 10 disposals in Claremont’s premiership triumph over South Fremantle. The haul saw Curtin finish as the second-highest goalkicker in the WAFL Colts this season with 32.9 from his nine games.

Is Tairon Ahmu still going around ? Would love to know how his year went ..

Surely this bloke should be training with the forwards this summer !!!!!!

Ahhh of course , changes everything

Remember that Geelong game in 2021 and Trac was crying about how much he loved this club! Wtf happened since then. It's like once Maynard did what he did and we lost Gus everything went down hill .

I'll also buy 100 memberships

Righto , also think gws played him in defence this year . What about Jasper Scaife . Kpf taken mid year by hawthorn...

What's happened to wayde derksen

Do we actually get access to the kid ? Rather not get my hopes up 😂

Wonder if Adem would rookie Noah 😂 would be great if we signed him with Casey and gave him a few years development while in our program. Then we would take him in the mid year or a future draft..

weapon

Happy with Lindsay , best on ground in the states grand final. has a weapon of a kick and can find the footy. wonder what his running stats where at the combine ..?

IS BO ALLAN THIS YEARS JOSH WEDDLE!!!??? caps intended

How have you herd this ? just out of curiosity .

The kicking is a worry from Bo Allen. to be fair not one of the top prospects has elite kicking from what I’ve seen. Some can kick it well like smiley and Langford but they still regularly miss targets . (Expect Lindsay ) Someone explain why we would pass on Draper , he reminds of Warner explosive great evasion and a real competitor .

I have a feeling this year will be the one cal has a few miss placed. tough year to call, but I doubt we’d reach for Tauru at 5 .

Why would the crows need to do that? Jagga smith would probably be available at pick 4 anyway wouldn’t he?

He looks unreal with ball in hand . So natural and that kick is elite. the issue is contest and defensive ability and effort from some of the matches I’ve seen. was he carrying an injury ? Is his fitness lacking therefore when he gets to contests he has no energy ?

A lot of Jeffos goals were free or uncontested 😬 I have to say it , He also looks a little timid . Bit of Jwatts . as for Armstrong , JT won’t pick him .

I recon well end up with pick 2 pick 5 and future 3rd for Pick 2 if north really want Tauru . and hopefully split 9 get Hynes and Allen !

https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/bailey-laurie/#:~:text=He is one of the,spots with incredible lateral movement. have a read of this write up pre draft. cal twomey and Riley Beverage had huge wraps on him. I still think he can make it , big year coming up for him, it’s hard making your was as a small forward .

So that’s why Carlton traded two picks around that mark to get to pick 3? On track to debut ? I expect jeffo to play a handful of games at most next year . Happy to let him develop and re evaluate in 2 years. side question, whose rates better aerially Langford or Smilie ? I see both have big kicks but from what I’ve seen smilie seems to hit more targets lace out . I’d be happy with Langford/Smilie Lindsay/Trafaglia

Jagga no good nothing special Langford too slow So let’s split 5 and take Reid, Trafaglia and Lindsay ! 🙃

This is what worries me 😂 Surely we are not taking Armstrong with the talented kids available .

Is taj hotton a possibility with this pick? what are peoples thoughts on him. have herd he dominated some games before injury , 4 goals 30+ possessions. could he be a wizard Watson type player with instant impact after regaining fitness ?
