A List with Real Potential

[LP]

Charlie played four games before dislocating his patella in the 5th.  He played primarily as a key forward and kicked 8 goals in his four full games.  He also played as a ruckman and, in one game, kicked three goals, had 11 disposals, six tackles and 18 hitouts.  I can't see him playing as a ruckman or a midfielder with us.

Charlie played as a key forward in his last five TAC games.

I think that the most relevant player comparison is with Jake Stringer.  He was supposed to be a "big bodied mid" but, as we know, has made his name as a shorter key forward.

That sort of fits with what I said DJC, the main game I saw him standing a massive on-baller it could well have been a Kreuzer type mobile ruckmen.

Sure it was against Ballarat Rebels and Curnow quickly made himself more dangerous as an attacking option rather than a minder. But it would have been early in the season and I recall Curnow wasn't fit(looked flabby, baby fat), he didn't spend long periods on the ball just short bursts then off or resting forward.

I remember this because I thought he was among the best but didn't play the next three or four games. I reckon he played early then was out, which contradicts what you have found reported. I put that down to fitness at the time, I didn't notice any injury.
