Luke McDonald was much improved again from past seasons, defended well and made the right decisions when he had the ball

3 Leg Pick Em Adelaide v North Melbourne
Darcy Fogarty Over 2 Goals
CharlieComben Over 5.5 Marks
Daniel Curtin Under 1 Goal
Odds: $6.50 (1u)
Expecting plenty of goals in Adelaide and the Roos , but someone has to miss out today. I think it will be Dan Curtin.
Comben to clear this marks...
...in the top three but it was so close between him, Chom and Pauly.
Bull got five votes, seems too little after that game to be fair. Jy got three, Young Robbie two, while Corr and Pink had one each.
5 - Tristan Xerri.
4 - Tommy Powell.
3 - CharlieComben.
3 - Paul Curtis.
1 - Luke...
This article is basically a collection of quotes from Sunday's game, but it's still a nice read.

Mead came into the conversation because someone literally suggested taking Josh Worrell (pick 28) or CharlieComben (pick 31) at pick 25 instead of Mead. Which was not possible because we were using picks later than those two to match the bid on Mead.
Channel 7 has become a circus.
BT is a lot better on Triple M. So its essentially how 7 wants the team to operate. Boring, unimaginative and getting anything wrong in general. On the radio, they get all these things right and its relevant to the moment.
Lack of competition kills the quality of...
...first 3 qrts. But let’s be honest, they are a bunch of knobs so what should I expect.
But some personal favourites were as follows:
CharlieCOMBEN
It’s not a hard name. There is no D. There never has been. BT called him Comben once, just the once. Either side of that he called him COMDEN...
He's developing really decently. Had a solid year last year in his first real crack after some injuries. About to turn 24, good size and has turned into a really decent reader of the footy. Think North will lock him up long-term with the promise he's showing
For those like me, who thought that our trading last year reeked of sad desperation -

...and he actually leads at the ball carrier! Hansen Jr and Kostanty look promising too - our forward stocks are only going to improve.
CharlieComben yesterday was exceptional! Showed everything you want in a key defender and has the talent to become one of the best in the competition. I was...
You've just highlighted that having the 2 superstars fit hides many woes and allows the team to play the way they do. Superstars justifying poor systems because they're just too good anyway....
This team is and has been for years. Superstars or bust.
My bigger issue is the trend.
The trend is that we are falling further and further behind the latest strategic improvements.
2023 we got our act together and went pretty close to challenging with a list in a fantastic age profile.
2024 saw major cracks start to open. Despite having incredible...
I just don't think you can free up Comben against a side with 4 legitimate key talls.
Nicks will know that having watched the game on the weekend. They will play Curtin forward for most of the match is my prediction, which means Charlie will have to take a man at all times.
We can't play all...
I don't understand why people on this board seem to be surprised when we've lost our first two games.
Charlie Curnow
2022: 64 goals
2023: 81 goals
2024: 57 goals
From 69 games
Average goals over those three years: 2.92 goals a game.
Harry McKay
2021: 58 goals
2022: 29 goals
2023: 45 goals...
Good points and all very valid.
Perosnally i think we need to try and fre eup Chom at all costs, but it will be veru difficult to do that this week.
I wouldn't worry too much bout curtin and I would be disappointed if we couldn't stop his influence.
Who is he playing on? The only matchup I see suitable is Fogarty.
He's nowhere near big enough for Thilthorpe.
I don't think he's big enough and good enough for Tex either at the moment.
Curtin is too mobile and they moved him between forward and back on the weekend anyway when needed.
If im...
