Curren was the Saints first selection at the 2010 NAB AFL Rookie Draft. He has represented the Dandenong Stingrays at TAC Cup level across the past two seasons, playing 11 games and averaging 18 disposals per match in 2010. A small midfielder, he was a member of the Stingrays 2010 TAC Cup grand final side.
Continuing the overall strategy from the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, Lyon and the St Kilda recruiting department focused on midfielders, who they hope will add further speed and skill to the current group of players.
“First pick was Tom Curren (number 24) from the Dandenog Stingrays, who we had also looked at for the National Draft” Lyon said. “He’s 178cms, has strong endurance and makes really good decisions.”
“I just spoke to him then over the phone and he’s very excited. He lives down near the new Linen House Centre at Frankston as well, so that is going to be really handy for him when we start to train there early next year.“
