    Crappy deal, major draft capital and he probably ends up your highest paid player, no thanks
    Irrespective of those poor stats, he’s a class act. However, I’d have two provisos if we would be in for him:

    1. He would really want to come here, and for a reasonable package, not over the top.
    2. We wouldn’t have to give up ridiculous picks- in other words heaven and earth.

    He has a physical presence which we really need and could light up the SCG. I’d be happy if we could get him.

      I have a hunch that Curnow is carrying an injury. He was subbed out at half time with a calf niggle during the West Coast game and hasn't played at his best since.

          must be close ?

          If Heeney played for a Victorian team he would be in the media every week last two seasons.

          great to have this just turned 29yr old with us to end of 2028 !

            Three of his last four seasons have been elite. (Also think 21 and 23 were pretty damn good). He’s a little down from last year, but hey, who wouldn’t be.

            I think this season has been underrated. He was one of the few consistent players at the start of the year, albeit without the goal kicking impact of last year. He’s top five and often number one or two for goals, clearances, contested possessions, tackles, goal assists, and on and on. And that’s before you measure his ability to simply do stuff other players can’t. I know there’s an argument for Grundy being the clubhouse leader in the B&F but I reckon it’s a closer call than that.

            The one great unknown on Isaac’s career is if he’d been able to train as a midfielder (his ankle stuffed him) for the first five or so years, what his career could have been. There were long stretches where he barely trained during the week at all and had extremely limited pre-seasons. I know there’s a view that Horse kept him forward too often, but he simply hadn’t been able to get in the work to play midfield.

            But he’s a joy to watch and one of the cleanest players I’ve seen.

              Agreed with everything you said buddy- he is simply an amazing player. We are truly blessed to have him, such a pleasure to watch. I can’t think of a player who can take consistent high marks, kick incredible bananas wity either foot, has heaps of pace, and is rarely tackled. A true generational talent!
