Maybe the peroxide hairdo of young Carmichael pulled at his Sier-longing heartstrings
What do people think is Carmichael's best position at AFL level?

Probably an attacking outside mid at this stage - similar to what Lipinski did for us last season
He's quite a big unit and can kick a long goal. I loved his first season with us. I remember a lot of us saying he would benefit from a full preseason.

He's certainly fitter, but lacks match play at the moment.
He looked a bit at sea when he came on against Richmond, but he'll get better.
His lack of leg speed got shown up against the Tigers but he did have Rioli on him I think. I reckon he will be a good, strong one paced mid like Barlow (but probably not as good or prolific in gathering possessions!)
Was it just me or did Carmy have some weird eyebrow action going on? (I didn’t get a clear look!)

More than adequate on the inside as well. Stands up in a tackle and gets a disposal as well as anyone.

I know he does that at a high level in our reserves squad, but I'm just not sure about seniors yet - just thinking back to how often he looked rushed under pressure last season

I'm yet to see him hit a target with a handball, which is a pretty crucial skill in our style of footy.

I'm a huge fan of Carmichael's and think he will end up being another big-bodied mid that can push forward and score. But I was a little underwhelmed by his output on Friday night. He has come on as the sub a few times previously and had immediate impact but last Friday he went missing. I hope it's an aberration.

I thought much the same - he's a lot better than he showed against the tiggers.
His lack of pace was evident. Came on with fresh legs and still couldn't catch people running on empty in the 4th quarter.

I also like him
However i think traded or delisted at year's end
Tough industry
On a side note I'm very worried about arlo draper

Catching the speed of the game or the rhythm of the game are two different things.
JC hasn't exactly been overloaded with senior footy, so I'm not worried about his inability to suddenly impact a game in the 4th quarter.
I still think he has what it takes to be a useful senior footballer, even if it's ultimately somewhere else.

I'm a skeptic. Pace and composure are both in doubt in my opinion and not a good combination of weaknesses.

Was very impressive 2nd half, big chance of a recall next week with the AFL 5 day break.
