Just get him in.
He didn't do much else from all reports. Plenty to work on. Did like his game in the port trial though.

Patience, my boy.
Newchurch needs time in the SANFL to get his defensive work cleaned up. Could be a debut in the back half of this season though. Take the time now to sort out his deficiencies and we have a potentially AA quality small forward on our hands to combine with Thilthorpe.

I think my point is (and these are a list of the very best players) were they better after they were 27/28 years old. Probably not. Few are.

How do you arrive at that statement....Cameron only played a handful of SANFL games and it was quickly established he was too good for that level based on his performances at that level..
AFL career
Cameron showed excellent form in the SANFL early in his first season, and was rewarded with a promotion to the senior list, replacing the injured Nathan van Berlo. He made his debut in round 9 against Collingwood, kicking a goal and evading a tackle to set up another. Cameron went on to play seven AFL games in 2014 despite battling a groin injury, kicking nine goals including a bag of three against Fremantle in round 12. At the end of the season he won the Crows' Mark Bickley Emerging Talent Award.
Charlie Cameron
Charlie Mark Cameron (born 5 July 1994) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Adelaide Football Club from 2014 to 2017. Cameron was taken with pick 7 in the 2013 rookie draft by Adelaide...
It's a great move for us as well. If he gets through the next two years uninjured, then his next contract is his Captaincy contract.
If he's injured all the way through, then me avoid a 5 year mistake.

Pretty sure that was a club media chat with Worrell. Its on Youtube. Easy question to answer, repaying the faith etc etc.
I think you're on the money. All of those players played excellent, outstanding, amazing, football after their 27th birthday - but I'm not sure that any of them played better after their 27th than they did before it.
Take a couple of examples, where their achievements pre-27th birthday are easy to quantify:
Dustin Martin - won the Brownlow, his first Norm Smith, the year he turned 26. It's very hard to say that he was better after his 27th birthday (26th June 2018) than before it.
Gary Ablett Jnr - both of his premierships, his first Brownlow, and 4 of his 8 AA selections, all happened before his 27th birthday.
Eddie Betts is the only one on that list who really achieved more after his 27th than before it. He joined Adelaide just after his 27th, so it's a fairly easy demarcation line to work with. His best goal kicking seasons were at Adelaide - with 63 goals in 2015 and 75 goals in 2016. However, he'd previously kicked 50 goals in 2011, in a team which was nowhere near as good at creating opportunities for him to score. Was his improved output at Adelaide due to him improving as a player (after his 27th birthday), or the result of having a better team around him? I leave everyone to make their own decision.
That was McLeod-esque. Seems to have the skills to potentially play all around the ground if he can get his engine up. Would love to see him get a game early in this season.

Charlie had come from a rugby background and was a defensive machine. Newchurch is not that at the moment. That will kill his career if he's unable to fix it.
fwiw, the discussion on longevity needs to consider the gameplan used by the team, especially if it has a particular flavour too it and has been used for a long time. Hawthorn were fine at contested footy in their recent heydey, but they also knew how to play keepings off. Sydney played a very combative style but also play a lot of games at a tiny home ground where its hard to get running fatigue even if you tried to.
I think another crap aspect to our crap gameplan is that it produces little uncontested play and relies a lot on put your body on the line stuff so it is likely to result in our players declining early relative to the rest of the comp.

I have this theory - which is not backed up by any data whatsoever so don’t bother asking me for any - that clubs ruin more kids in training than they do in playing them too soon.
My second and far more provable theory is that most of the reasons given for why a naturally talented kid is being held back, come from people who themselves are not naturally talented.
Now I have to stop writing, because I am having Neil Craig flashbacks.
This is just false.
Koschitzke won the Rising Star in his first year - beating out a field that included Daniel Kerr, Cameron Ling, Bob Murphy and Corey Enright.
Watts (in)famously debuted halfway through his first year on the Queen’s Birthday.
