List Mgmt. Thread for discussing pick 7 in the 2013 Rookie Draft - Charlie Cameron

[Mike Smyth]

Developing nicely. Unless their form is absolutely putrid (see Van Berlo) Cameron, Lever, Kelly, M Crouch and Grigg must remain in this side for the remainder of the year.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He's kicked 19.22 in 14 games. At some stage soon he will kick straight and have a 5+ goal game.

There wouldn't be a small forward in the history of the game who's had 41 shots at goal in their first 14 games. Fantastic signs.

 

[hippyhippy]

Havent seen a bad pass to the corridoor lately... he is learning. A good game yesterday... he is capable of kicking ar least 2 or 3 a game if he kicks straight

Most of em wouldn't have that many shots in 2 seasons, let alone 14 games!

His tackling and chase downs are Betts like too. Just piles the pressure on one player, then chases the next one. And he's quick. Exciting stuff!

He is also 6' tall. 183cm.

Betts kicked 19.12 in his 1st year of 19 games.

Bruest kicked 30.15 in his 1st year. 17 games. 23.13 from 1st 14


Too busy to keep going, but fair effort by young Charlie.

and he crunches people too.

he just gets horizontal, gets his head out of the way and goes STRAIGHT through the rib-cage. Haven't seen too many get up quickly after Charlie's lined them up!

His tackling really is something else!! They are so good they are a highlight in themselves.

 

[earlsta]

Didn't he only start playing footy at the age of 17? His upside is massive.

And beyond the goal kicking and the tackling is the fact that, having kicked a bag of 3, other teams now know they have to pay him respect. Keeps them on their toes more

 

[Houston]

Not that small of a small forward. I maintain he's a future wing player getting a game as a small forward.

Had a ridiculously low total of games before we recruited him. Something around 30.

He also does the little shoulder bump on those that he chases to bump them to the ground after/just as they dispose of the ball. Love that little bit of intensity which he's been doing for a number of weeks.

 

[Bay62]

Loved the chant of "Eddie" and after Cameron kicked his third I felt sure there'd be a chant of "Charlie"!

Only a matter of time I think

 

[Mattrox]

Didn't we have a third man up option throughout the year? Maybe that's going to become the norm.

Nostradamus. 3rd man up is quite topical now!

Charlie says Pykey wants him up in the midfield. Hmm, this could play out to be very interesting. More Charlie touches of the ball should mean better results all round IMO. I hadn't even thought of him in the midfield, I just thought he would keep becoming a better small forward by kicking more goals, offering that link up between half back to forward and improving his defencive game even more, but now that I think about it, he might go really well in the midfield.

WW will be unbearable

 

[Jeffcrowe]

At worst he becomes a fitter and stronger pressuring forward

Smart to get as many players midfield fit as possible to have more options through midfield especially with the rotations cap

The way Pyke runs his system, just about every player needs to be flexible enough to run through the midfield at some point.

He'll end up playing a role like Cyril IMO.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I can't believe the LACK OF EXCITEMENT ...about the possibility of having an excitement machine like Charlie in the midfield .......total apathy by posters

This is fantastic news !!!!

I said from training, Charlie has gone to another level .....Macleod Mk2 ......but still more excitement around the new toys

 

[Geoffa32]

He is too big to be a small forward IMO. May not be a bona fide midfield but could be a handy flanker.

I personally see him more like Richard Douglas than Eddie Betts. Dougie was a flanker who in recent years has become a very important attacking midfielder.

 

[dylan123]

No-one touted Johncock, except Johncock

No-one touted Otten except some BF posters ......was never a midfielder at AFL level, but he is a natural forward

Are you serious?

Prophetic.

No i am just posting for fun
