We need some pace and some flair in the middle.
Should we bring Cameron in and try Betts on the ball for a few spurts?

Betts to the middle: Cameron in?

Is this fact or supposition on your part?

You're seriously suggesting taking our only forward worth a pinch of salt out of the forwardline?

Bring Cameron in. We need something in the middle. We'll lose anyway.
FFS we recruit a specialist small forward and you want to play him in the midfield? Hasn't got the size, stamina for it, and besides, take him out of our forward line and were bottom of the ladder! Geez overreaction much.

In his own admission he has had his biggest pre-season ever, no reason why he can't have burst through the middle
I'm ok with Eddie having the occasional burst when the game is not going our way and we are looking for a spark
Pretty sure I read or heard Harper say Betts might be used in bursts through the middle anyway. Perhaps when Tex is back and we have a more functioning forward line.
Isn't Cameron supposed to be a decent wingman/half-forward type, as opposed to the traditional crumbing small forward? (Although he's played very much that crumbing role in the trial games). He probably isn't quite ready but we bloody need one of those!

I would leave Betts in the forward line ( he kicks goals!) , and with the very occasional run through the midfield, however, I would bring in Petrenko to complement Betts in the forward line and have someone else to also provide forward line pressure and pace.
In addition, I would bring in Cameron as a high h/f or wingman/outside midfielder as he provides pace, flair and defensive pressure and it is entirely irrelevant that he is only a rookie - he has what we lack.

I reckon Pets is a certainty this week

I'm just joking because he looked so out of sorts on Saturday, can't remember him having a single good touch all game.

Get Cameron, but play him where he is best positioned. No use continuing to play players out of position. Betts stays as a small forward, heck, he's the only one with flare at the moment. Blood Cameron, and reap the rewards if he can play. And if he can't play, we haven't lost anything anyway. It's time to get ballsy with player selection.
That's crazy talk.

Playing both would be my preference.
Didn't Carlton try this and found it not with it?
