      Pardon my ignorance but how so? Would there really be a director for this?
      There would be multiple cameras some wide, some tighter and the director directs someone to switch between them. So it's their call which cameras to use at any point in the game.

        There’s only one camera at the NEAFL game. I’ve seen it! And while I understand the complaint about the wide shots, keep in mind this game would probably have gone untelevised last year

              Did Carr's mother pick the Demons best players? Encouragement award for Amartey over Thurlow as well.

                Knoll certainly lifted in Cameron's absence....

                Fellow Swans recruit Michael Knoll, one of the club’s two selections at the Mid-Season Rookie Draft, was also strong in ruckman Darcy Cameron’s absence.

                The 205-centimetre, 103-kilogram giant posted a match-high 39 hit-outs, and Laidler is thrilled with the progress he’s shown.

                “He competed hard all day,” Laidler said.

                “He gave us a contest and there were stages where he showed some of his best footy. It’s very tricky to fit into a new club and a new game plan, but he’s adapted really well."

                  That's a fair hit-out haul from Knoll. How were the Canberra rucks?

                    The main Canberra ruckman Maynard wasn’t playing. I thought it was even between the two rucks at quarter time but it was Knoll who was the slightly better as the game went on.

                          What do people think: will Amartey play AFL? Seems wholehearted and skilled, but too small for ruck, too poor at set shots to play forward. They seem to be giving him a run as key defender. I hope he gets a go, but if I had to guess either way I reckon he won't play AFL. Has he been an emergency yet?

                            Agree 100% with you. Key defender will be his best bet but clearly has the L plates on. He is incredibly athletic and is a wholehearted performer. Just seems to lack a bit of skill and overall polish (hasn't stopped Clarke from notching up 50 odd games though!).

                              I feel very positive about Amartey. He's been put in defence to increase his versatility and still has some adjusting to do back there. He's a similar size to Paddy Ryder with similar attributes, and is best suited to play a similar role, i.e. rotating between forward and ruck as the situation dictates. Amartey is a bit wayward with his kicking, but he can clear the goal posts from a long way out. There is still a lot of development left in him. Maybe he doesn't play senior footy until 2021, but I think his time will come and he'll be a pretty handy player.

                                To me, Amartey looks as clearly a natural forward as Pink always seemed a natural defender. I don't know if he's being played in defence as part of his education or because we've had a dearth of tall defenders in recent weeks, with Pink injured for a while and then suspended for a week. Either way, he can't hurt his development but I hope we see him back in the forward line for the second half of the season.
