First AFL appearance in two years
Curnow collected eight disposals, two tackles and a goal Friday as Carlton defeated St. Kilda 112-81 at Marvel Stadium.
ANALYSIS
29 minutes elapsed in the opening term of Friday's game before Curnow took a touch he grabbed from the outside 50 - his first in over two years - and sent it sailing for a long goal, one of ten Carlton put up in the first half alone. The oft-injured 24 year-old admittedly had a quiet night otherwise, but showed that a Blues front line that includes Harry McKay and Jack Silvagni holds plenty of promise heading into next season.

Out another month
Curnow (knee) will need a month of full training before being reevaluated for a potential return to game action, AFL Ratings reports.
ANALYSIS
Curnow missed the entirety of last season after undergoing knee surgery and is in the final stages of his recovery. He could take the field during the second half of July if all goes well in his return to full training.

Should return later in season
Curnow (knee) is expected to return in the second half of the season, according to Director of High Performance Andrew Russell. "If all goes well, we'll have him available later in the season."
ANALYSIS
Curnow also missed all of 2020 with a knee injury and will hope to play at some point before the end of the home-and-away stage of the season.

Facing more time on the sidelines
Curnow (knee) is still viewed as a long-term prospect to retake the field, the AFL's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Curnow sat out all of 2020 because of the knee injury and apparently requires some more time to get back to his normal self. It's unclear exactly when he will be cleared to retake the field at this time.

Expected to miss all of 2020
Curnow isn't expected to play at all in 2020 due to a knee injury, Ronny Lerner of The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
Curnow underwent surgery in March to remove screws in his right kneecap, resulting in his loss for all of 2020. His absence leaves a significant hole in the midfield for Carlton, but the 23-year-old will presumably focus his rehab efforts toward being ready for the start of the 2021 campaign.
