North Melbourne's Paul Curtis Shines in Win, Potential Midfield Role Explored

In a recent match, North Melbourne's Paul Curtis played a crucial role in the team's 23-point victory over the Western Bulldogs, scoring four goals and keeping their Wildcard Round hopes alive.

Following the game, coach Alastair Clarkson suggested that Curtis could benefit from a more versatile role, potentially moving into the midfield instead of remaining solely a forward. This shift could relieve pressure on current midfielders Luke Davies-Uniacke and Harry Sheezel, who also have scoring capabilities.

Clarkson noted that while Curtis is primarily a forward, he possesses the skills to contribute effectively in the midfield. Historically, players like Dustin Martin have successfully transitioned between these roles, indicating that Curtis could similarly impact the game if given more opportunities in the midfield.
