He has taken Carrazzo's place and while I have not been sold on Curnow in the past, there is an honesty about the way he plays that I appreciate after having to
put up with Henderson, Yarran etc not caring or showing any pride...
I certainly don't disagree with either you or Dominator 7's opinion on Curnow's effort.
I reckon he came off the ground crying, when we lost to geelong. he had given his all for no result.
BUT, that was not the point of my post.
Aside from the fact that we have been decimated by injuries and a coach in MM, who was obviously past his use by date, what has killed us in every game where we had a sniff of a chance to win or go close?
SKILLS!!!!!
Our skills are terrible. In fact, Carrazo whom he will replace, was the turnover king at Carlton, and Curnow's kicking skills particularly when trying to find a team mate on the chest who is 30-40 metres away, are terrible and bloody costly.
If he cannot improve in that area, and he's had 7 years in the system to do so, then all his effort to negate will account for little.
I hope that Bolton has and will study the players and be fully aware of their weaknesses, and will ensure that time and effort is not spared in his attempt to improve the skills of our players to a level that he took for granted at Hawthorn.
