Yes Curnow did seem to be on the improve last year and let's hope he goes on with it this year. Could become a very handy player for us if he can.

Fourth in the B&F Cookie!  The Match Committee obviously appreciated his work and I think he'll be a lock in in our best 22 this season.

A little more depth means more competition for spots and that should keep players on their toes.  It should also mean better managed workloads for our older players and the youngsters.  Perhaps even selecting players for specific roles to negate or exploit opposition players.

4th in the B&F eh! He's crept up on me a bit. I can't say I've been taking a lot of notice of him and I've probably not given him full credit - I'll look out for him more this year.
Reality always wins in the end.

I think a lot of his work goes unnoticed Cookie.  He kept a lot of good players quiet and managed to inflict a bit of damage offensively.  He's just not eyecatching like Walker, Simpson, Yarran, etc.

He's another of our rookie success stories; we must have some astute recruiting staff  ::)

Curnow became more than just a tagger when he started running hard the opposite direction and making his disposals count. The new Carrazzo of the side without a doubt. And plays it fair.

Tom Bell arrived back at training as if he was preparing for the Hawaiian ironman. Has shed kilos from his massive frame and has been flying in the time-trials. Received a rookie elevation and maybe the beast is about to unleash.

Hope this is the 'kiss of death' for the bloke.
Don't you rate him? Why?

Think he's tracking nicely. Kicked that winning goal vs PA. Got some heart, thats sorely been missing in recent years. Not our worst by a long way.

Exactly PI2C, he's no Anthony Franchina but he is an elite runner.

Hehe, I was was a Franchina fan for life when he sent Nicky Winmar loopy at the G that day!

We could probably do with a kicking coach to help the new Irish boys out and Levi as well.

What do our current coaches do?

By the look of things, not enough coaching on how to kick goals from a set shot.

No doubt Tribey will stick his head in at some point and have his words about Franchina :P

Not sold on Curnow myself. Just a reflection on how far a fall from grace our mid field has had.

But all good midfields have that run with type player. Curnow is ours. I guess for us to really challenge players like he and Bell need to step it up another couple of cogs.

Anyone here seen that bloke at Carlton games who brings a bell and rings it whenever Tommy Bell gets the ball? (Maybe said bloke is even on here!) Pisser of a bloke.  ;D

I think they would spend most of their time coaching a group. Not a whole lot of one-on one-coaching, especially on basic fundamentals of the game. The Pies identified they needed a designated kicking coach for Cloke and if Levi was to make it as a player he needs a kicking coach as well. Having one on board would also benefit the Irish blokes as an added bonus.

It's not uncommon to hire specialist coaches.

Curnow is highly underrated by quite a few here. He has some endurance which suits his game and he is prepared to run both ways. He has the making of a solid mid that you can rely on. I'm certain he will show us more value this season. Many may change their mind on his abilities.
