Nah wasted at half back unless he roamed down forward a bit. His tenacity and accuracy in front of goals can't be wasted.
As for skills the moonwalk was pretty good.

There have been a lot of players who have been put in the position he was with 1min30 left on the clock who have failed. After almost getting knocked out but Bob Murphy, he took the mark running back with the ball, knowing Easton Wood was running for him, then had the presence of mind to slow down and take time off the clock and most importantly kick the goal. When the players were getting around him, it even looked like he was telling them to go back to their positions. There's something special about Charlie.

ice cold at the death, obviously with his goal but also calmly spot Tex up on the lead for his goal just before that and also made a huge tackle 5m out from goal down the other end too.
had he of kicked the two getable ones earlier on it would have been a huge night for Charlie, instead he'll just have to settle for very good

he's demonstrated that sort of touch numerous times already in his short career, can kick a beautifully weighted ball that makes VB look like the rugby player.

A bigger deal out west.
Just a shame he overcooked the kick to eddie in the 3rd. Would of been huge.

Love the maturity of the kid to get down back in that situation and help out.

I'm looking forward to his first bag.

Tenth in the best and fairest.
There's a few players with a lot upside to their careers next year.

So is there anyone else that thinks we need to push Charlie into the midfield next year? If he can get 20 disposals a game on a wing it will be very damaging. Is he the outside runner we're looking for?
And is the pursuit of Menzel in order to allow us to release him from the forward line?
No, he's at least 2 or 3 years away from being able to do that. Needs a lot of work in the gym and endurance.

He's already had two full preseasons. I think next year we will see him on the wing a bit. Probably two years away from spending a whole game on a wing.
Wing in bursts definitely until he has a better tank. I always think back to that Collingwood game last year and his "moon walk" move and he also at one stage did a small 20 metre dash of half-back and did some dodging and weaving. It was only a glimpse, but that movement screamed wingman to me. He's wasted in a pocket.

I just don't want to put the mozz on the kid, but I haven't been as excited about one of our young players as CC in a long time.
I just touch wood - this kid has the potential to be one of the best rookie selections ever.

His future is in his hands. He knows he has attributes that can change games, he knows he's good enough, he has the support of professional organization. It's up to him, how badly does he want it, how good does he want to be?
His tackling, his pace and his ball use could be be extremely damaging in the midfield. For two years, when the heat is on in games, his touches have been class.
I thought he went missing a bit this year, but looking at the votes, he had other roles the coaches valued.

I don't think he has the foot skills or endurance to play midfield/wing at this point in his career.
He has some tools that would make him very damaging in that role. But I don't think he's ready for it yet.

His skills are very good. He just lacks composure at times. He still rushes his kicks and occasionally tries too hard to do the impossible.
Would like to see how he goes with a few years in the system.
