Cameron looked so lost in his debut game but continues to have impressive numbers across most facets at NEAFL level, can obviously play, deserves another go at some time but one ruck policy will hurt his chances.

[rb4x]

Out of this game only Cameron and Towers could be considered for AFL if replacements are needed. Depth is looking very thin as otherwise there is only the rested Fox, and the maybe's, Grundy, Marsh, Hannebury who could be considered if fit.

Some preliminary stats

Cameron 28 disposals 13 marks 48 hitouts 3 tackles 6 clearances 2 goals
Towers 23 disposals 3 marks 5 tackles 6 clearances 2 goals
Brown 22 disposals 4 tackles 10 clearances 1 goal
Bell 15 disposals 7 tackles 3 clearances 1 goal
Maibaum 8 disposals 5 marks 6 tackles
Amartey 9 disposals 4 tackles 5 clearances 4 hitouts
Styles 8 disposals 5 tackles 3 clearances
Stoddart (sat out first quarter) 8 disposals 3 marks
Pink1 disposal 1 tackle

Oh Pinky Pink, surely destined for the delist pile at the end of the year. Just can't stay fit. Encouraging stuff from Brown I would of thought.

Cameron certainly is dominating at the NEAFL level - its a shame we haven't had a chance to get him at least a couple more chances at AFL level this year. He may get more chances early next year, but it'll be tough for him once

What are your thoughts on Maibaum Ugg? He's been on our list for a while now, do you think he has what it takes to be a good player? My understanding is that more of an old fashioned full back. Would this go against him; coaches want more pace and mobility these days.

Firstly you want your defenders to be able to defend and he's coming along very nicely in this regard. On the mobility side, it's not a strength but neither is it a major worry.

Really concerned re Pink. Those stats are totally unacceptable for someone who is classed as fit enough to play and who showed some promise last year. I know his season has been basically wrecked by injury. Did anyone think he was being hindered by injury or fitness in the game. ugg said he started each quarter on the bench and then came on and did not do much. One handball and one tackle is less than not much.

Does anyone know if they ended up trialling the 6-6-6 format in the game? If so did it make any difference?

They did not and even if they did it would have made little difference given the small distance between the centre square and the 50m arc as well as the fact that most NEAFL games don’t have spare defenders.

O'Riordan, Rose and Fox back.

8 listed on the field, the 8 on the bench of course mirrors the AFL extended bench at the moment. We will probably lose 5 from those so hopefully 11 listed on the day.

Given how important the senior match is, I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept two emergencies back. I’d take Cameron and one other down to Melbourne.

I think the Swans have shown their hand by naming only 1 emergency this time whereas in previous weeks they've named up to 4.

Also interesting to note that Zac Cameron has been named, he's a ruckman so there's a good chance that his namesake Darcy Cameron won't be playing NEAFL.
