Apologies, he looks tiny. My mistake.
Is he really 6 2?But... he is 6'2 and will likely tick over 85kgs by this pre-season.
Or was this the joke and I missed it?
He's 188cm. Decent size.Is he really 6 2?
s**t lips, I had no idea, that’s Dermies height.

Not it lets him get better as a mid, which seems to be what's happening. He's not the worst half forward or wing, but he'll be an inside midfielder. Does he take CBAs away from our current midfield group? I can't see where that happens.Playing him at BH is bollocks.
I believe you get your best players into the team and let them develop as they play at the highest level.Not it lets him get better as a mid, which seems to be what's happening.

Yep. Pretty sure five '08 premiership players played in the '01 Box Hill flag. I think we'll go all out to win itMight be the club thinks a vfl finals campaign would be useful for some players
He plays in the seniors this week. Long had a half and didn't impact at all.VFL Senior Coach Zane Littlejohn assesses the performances of our 15 AFL-listed Hawks from our close win over Richmond.
Cam Mackenzie (27 disposals, 7 tackles, 8 clearances)
"Cam again spent some time on-ball, part of his development is spending as much time as he can around the stoppage and centre bounce. He finished with eight clearances this week, which is really good. We talked about a balanced performance, and he did that, as a midfielder he had a pretty well-rounded game. Cam is starting to build some great confidence and really develop his stoppage craft, one of the areas he's been trying to improve which he has done so really well."
The problem is he isn't going to get enough CBA at AFL level and we want him to be getting experience in that particular area. He's done the peripheral roles at AFL level and done well but now we want him to build into a CBA mid but atm he is not able to displace our current mids due to their form so playing him at Box Hill is best for his development in that particular role.I believe you get your best players into the team and let them develop as they play at the highest level.
Clearly he is among our best talents AND can contribute immediately playing in peripheral roles.
