Do you mean Premiership player Dobbo

Depends on his work situation and if he wants to play WAFL footy or not.

North Adelaide won his signature apparently.

Apologies for the intrusion. Quick one for the old Royals fans. I was only a young bloke when he played, but did Steve Curtis ever wear a helmet? I can't find any photos of him wearing one, but I've convinced myself he did. 

I'll answer that one for you
yes he did 
remembering he started off very young 16 or 17 
probably two or three years before he left for Port Adelaide
was a picture of him wearing one for PA

He certainly did,and that mongrel Johnny Duckworth wrenched it of his head and threw it in the crowd at a fiery Perth Oval Derby.I had to laugh as I saw Ducky working at Big Ian McCullochs dog swamp TAB more than a decade ago,and joked they used to kill each other on the field,but I think they’ve had a lifelong friendship stemming back from their Fitzroy days.

I've heard you mob have been caught after an audit. Will start 2025 season -8

watch this space. 

Good to hear my mail a few weeks ago regarding midfielder Cooper and Key forward Middleton were right on the money.We may have lost our fairest and best and runner up,but if Cooper turns out to be a quality midfielder,Middleton could be the power forward we’ve been looking for,which would finally give us the quality goal to goal line you must have if your a genuine premiership contender.

Would probably need to bolster the midfield to push for finals.  Rumour has it we might be starting with a points handicap also Lucky.  Crowden is the one I don’t think we can cover for.  

I am going to be brutal. Is Ben Middleton a need, want or power forward that we need. no no and no.
He is only 193 cm tall played 42 games and kicked 42 goals.
 He is a poor mans Tom Medhat (192cm 61 games and  75 goals.)
Yes we have lost Zach Hill (192 cm) but With  Sebit  back and i would assume Mitch Schofield back from injury i am not sure of his role.
You would assume we will go with Tom Graham, Sebit and Schofield as our three main talls and Medhat our next best  tall.
i see Middleton as depth unless somebody has left the building that we haven't been advised of.
Like Larry i think Crowden is the one midfielder we will miss the most.
After the Grand final i thought we needed to refresh our midfield as we are not a very quick side and i thought we may have to offload somebody. I am worried about the chatter as we have some points to recruit at the moment but just waiting to see what will transpire.
