I love the way when he wins a clearance he's off and no one can catch him

I've posted before that Macca glided across the ground as if the laws of physics didn't apply. CC looks more like he's been shot out of a cannon.

A bigger deal out west.
There is a bit of Byron Pickett about Cameron in terms of the amount of raw power he gets for his size if you want a somewhat comparison.
Wonder if charlie is faster than macca pre knee issues ... i think charlie definitely has better acceleration. .. maybe top speed is the same.
Choppy was a superb sniper though. Not in the sense of the modern slur, more the way the pros go about their business without anyone realising they're actually there until it's far too late. CC i don't think has that in him, not that you could afford to these days.
Having players run through the stoppage straight at the goals is an enormous weapon. CC can do it with speed, Rat can do it with shimmy, B Crouch can do it somehow, but it's the beginning of a scary stoppage group.
Isn't it funny that after years of hearing speed doesn't matter, it's speed of ball movement that counts that we've gone out and brought in a heap of speed.
I'm busted
Betts said words to this affect on his morning 5AA spot. Milera looks smooth but not thst quick but is actually moving very fast. Cameron looks fast and is very fast.
Also mentioned that CC thought the ball was touched and had a bit of a chuckle about the situation.

I actually think he has more top end speed than Macca.
Acceleration - Macca was amazing. 2001 season he just got it, took 3 steps and was away.
And we have improved our ball movement by foot too. We have accumulated players that can kick and are working on delivery by foot.
That is an exciting combination.

I reckon a few posters have been calling for that for awhile
Yes he said that.
Lloydy doesn't usually bandy the elite word around lightly.
Certainly his pace is elite. I reckon his tackling is elite too. He can kick accurately delivering the ball. He needs to learn how to do this consistently to be a well rounded player.

every time the AFL changes some rules the archetypal player and squad changes with it.
Apparently Charlie is a pretty serious little dude. Not really into joking around and can be a bit grumpy. Proberbly why he has pushed himself to become so good so early. Takes s**t seriously they say.

I've been told he's learning to relax a bit but it's still very tightly wound.
I think we're about to see a real breakout game from Charlie. I'm talking what Sunday could have been with straight kicking. He wasn't far off a 25, 5 goal game and that's something few players can do.
I didn't think we'd see consistency from him, but I think he's about to explode.

Been really impressed with Charlies growth from shy teen to an adult. Saw him after the match in the riverside bar saying how the supporters group forgot to put him on the banner for his 50 games, and how he would of been happy with even a little corner for a mention. Showed great humour and looked Theo in the eyes and thanked the fans. Complete opposite from how shy he was when he started and Eddie had to tell him not to play with his dick when on camera

Wasn't very happy that the "Jets" nickname stuck haha.

He was very good at that. One of those Port players in that era i didn't want to like, but found myself liking.
CC probably doesn't, but he's pretty intimidating which is a start. The play where the Geelong player just completely s**t himself when Charlie ran at him last season really sticks out to me in that regard.
Doesn't surprise me, he seems quite wound up all the time.
Also probably why he prefers to be called Charles instead of Charlie... feels more "grown up" for him

It's a bit like the Gibbs thing. Why not have organic growth PLUS Gibbs.
Can we have fleet of foot AND speed of ball movement
Because getting Gibbs would cripple our future organic growth?
