Re: Curren might get a spot in 2014
What was it his 3rd game? and he got 20 touches, yeah he went OK, jeez some people on here are determined.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
Re: Curren might get a spot in 2014
Dont see what that has to do with anything but I reckon its wrong anyway. Jack basically won is a game against Geelong in his 4th game.[/quote]
And the fact we kept the goalless the entire second half had nothing to do wit it..
Tommy Curren has something and I for 1 think he's on track to be V. Good just like I thought Jack was going to be V good..[/quote]
I dont even understand what you are talking about. Can you explain? All im saying is jack showed plenty early on and curren isnt better than Jack was early on. And even if he was it means Jack. Like all players who are young he needs to improve and I hope like hell he does.[/quote]
You said Jack won us the game against Geelong I said he kicked 3 and we kept them goalless in the second half that had more to do with it the. Jacks goals.. Also I think Tom looks better at 20 then Jack did not saying he will be better at 23 but he's a good chance.. Just trying to find an upside in a abysmal season.. He is one of a few..

Re: Curren might get a spot in 2014
Jack has been a positive this year! why are you so obsessed with comparing players. Just be happy we have one Mid proving himself each week really taking it to the next level and new mid that's showing he could be a very good player. we're laughing! plus Saunders mids not looking too bad after all.
I'm Bloody excited!

I hope Tommy makes it but jack in about his 3rd or 4th game ripped apart Geelong from a forward pocket from memory. tom is showing good signs so far.

[quote="saintbob"]Jack would've been significantly further advanced if it weren't for RL, who put games into mediocre players like McQualter and Eddy.

curren is a lock to be upgraded. you need blokes on the list like him
Re: Curren might get a spot in 2014
TC looks the goods.
Best and Fairest for Sandringham last year suggests its not just a flash in the pan.
Pretty impressive for his first full game.
It took Jack Steven 14 games before he played a 11 contested possession game ( he only got 14 disposals total when he beat Geelong by himself ).

Whats the rolling eyes mean? Stats are hilarious. I could say can you show us a game where TC kicked 3 goals in a game. Rolling eyes.
Why cant we be happy with both instead of comparing like intially someone did.

Sorry but I agree with the poster who compared him favourably with a "younger" Jack Steven.plugger66 wrote:Kickit wrote:TC looks the goods.

I disagree that Jack Steven's main strength is playing in the pocket and kicking multiple goals. Its winning the contested ball in the middle.
I disagree that the person kicking the goals is solely responsible for a win, even though the focus always goes that way.
I am very happy with both. See .
Re: Curren might get a spot in 2014
I was really impressed with his game against Hawthorn. 20 touches (11 contested) at 80 efficiency playing on the forward flank and against the best opposition. He's a real accumulator who could be a big possession winner at the top level IMO. There's a bit of Blair/Steven about the way he goes about it.
