Toast Welcome ANTHONY CAMINITI

[The Boar]

what's his tank like? Could he be a long term project for another Wood type, get him up the ground a bit, a target for the kicks out of D50.

Got to try and find him a link up role when Membrey and King are back in. If he can operate between the arcs and jag a goal a game, he'll be a huge link player and marking gun behind the ball when in team zone defence.

So many attributes if he can work it all out.

He's a fair bìt bigger than Wood and looks to have a great reach with those long arms of his.

We've been crying out for another genuine key forward to go with King, no need to do a Battle to the poor kid and try to turn him into a wingman.

 

[Strahany]

Sticky fingers, quick off the mark, and a big kick - what more could we want in a prospective key forward. Significantly early days, so want to be mindful of how we looked at players like your Spencer Whites or Tom Lees of the world, but Caminiti has, so far, shown ample promise.

Other teams are kissed on the proverbial bell-shaped end in the form of Father-Son jets, pre-academy restriction pickups (or both), but maybe Caminiti could be our slice of luck. A brilliant cherry on top to Pou and last year’s duo.

 

[Barrels]

He looks lithe framed to me. Can see him as a more slim build even long term. Phillipou I reckon has the frame that looks like it will beef up, hasn't got much muscle on him yet, but still a decent size. Once he chucks on some meat he'll be an absolute unit. Already meant to be around 90 kegs with very little hanging on the frame.

Tom Lee was an average, to good player.
Spencer White showed some promise, but by all accounts didn't have the desire.

Caminiti seems to have it in spades. I'm all in on this kid.

Tom Lee was never given a chance under Richo. When he came in he wrote off a few that he decided were Watter's boys. Did it with Siposs and a few others too.

Something for which Sipposs will be eternally grateful I’m sure.

What’s this guys contract and list status? Was he picked up as a rookie or is he on the main list?

He’s gonna be a bloody gun! Only just turned 19 & looks like he was cut out of stone. Plus he’s got several elite attributes. You compare him to Darcy who has spaghetti arms or Paddy Mac when we recruited him who was quite chubby. The Hammer is the complete opposite! And I realise it isn’t a bodybuilding contest.

picked up as a rookie. Usually its a one year contract.

 

[MightySaint]

He's got some traits. Agile, great size, vice grip on his marks and he knows where to be to get the ball. Seems to be pretty good aerobically as well. There's a lot to work with.

There’s a media story about him three posts up.
A very interesting read.
Hopefully going to be an inspired pick up for us.

AFL site says he was picked in the pre season draft. I thought that means he’s on the primary list rather than rookie list?

Not sure, but usually it's still a 1 year contract

Tom Lee's hair was the main problem. The Cho just hated that teased bouffant hairstyle and Tom wouldn't change it. It reminded him of his childhood poodle. CYA Tom.

I'll be very disappointed if the Caminitis' restaurant isn't called "Come And Eat Here"

 

[KinderSmock]

Sorry for the intrusion, but I wanted to say that I personally still have a lot of respect for Caminiti. It was a mistake and had unfortunate consequences but he didn't look for excuses. Reading Zita's Tweets show a man who's made a mistake and hasn't shied away from it. He didn't look to say it was retaliation, instead he owned up. That's admirable and there are many blokes in the AFL who wouldn't have. He's a good kid and I hope he can perform well in his career. We all do stupid things at some point and while not all lead to concussions, most lead to unexpected consequences. Not for a moment do I think he went out to deliberately injury Murphy and if anything, he's become the name and face to the latest concussion story. Murphy himself, in an alternate world, could have struck Caminiti - they were both at it. He's apologised, he'll serve his time and then, the future is his. But I think the way some Collingwood fans are bagging out Caminiti is unfair given when actually looking at the situation from both sides, it's less black and white than it seems at first glance.

Wander on, kick one, wander on, shank one. Collect cash.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Has a first year player ever shown this much for us in his first year?
Misses the draft last minute call up
Signed on after taking three pack marks at his first training sesh
Selected round one
Kicks first goal r2 and all subsequent rounds
Makes presence felt in each game played
Carlton fans dirty he was pinched from right under their noses
Gets suspended for 3 weeks after r5
What a legend!!!

That's a big call

from 5 games this year - just a small sample size obviously.
If Caminiti contnues this trajectory, have we just saved ourselves a boatload of cash from chasing someone like Ben?

Yes but some get caught up in the romance. I wish Ben all the best for his career but playing for us is/should be on need only basis.
