No small forward contributes every quarter not even the best like Betts or Greene.
What Cameron does do is bring the heat every game which is why he was never getting dropped.
His explosive offensive game is obviously another reason

Bringing the "heat" is good... but the "explosive offensive game" just wasn't working - until last night.No small forward contributes every quarter not even the best like Betts or Greene.

Charlie,
If you are to leave, can you please play one last game like you did last night. Leave a premiership player, we will forgive you.

I mentioned that in the next sentence. Can you read?
My friend was talking about contributing offensively every quarter please keep up

Two first round picks
Well if you lack basic comprehension skills it could be interpreted that way i agree.
I will dumb it down for you next time

Not sure your position can be dumbed down further
Takes talent to reach peak stupid
We wouldn't be having this conversation if he contributed anywhere near as often as Betts or Greene.No small forward contributes every quarter not even the best like Betts or Greene.

His explosive offensive game was usually a bonus for the opposition, because it inevitably resulted in a turnover. There's no point in burning off your opponent and kicking the ball long, if you're just going to kick it straight to an opposition player anyway. On Friday night he actually hit targets after lighting the afterburners - the first time in a very long time we've seen him do this.
One of our best players in the first quarter of the year? What have you been smoking?
Ah you didnt watch obviously.
Cameron was being lauded for the first 6 or so rounds. Was brilliant.
I agree that it was the best part of his season, with the obvious exception of the preliminary final. That's not the same thing as saying that he was one of our best players during this period.
I've always backed Charlie in and named my 13 year old son after him.
He was. Easily.
Sorry, but the opinions of noted fanbois don't sway my judgement, and you are easily Charlie's biggest fanboi. You're completely incapable of seeing any of the negative aspects of his game, and that makes your judgement invalid.

CC was one of our best in the first quarter of the season? Hmm. First 2 games yes. Then he was mostly solid. He second half was mostly poor.
Best from AFL.com first 6 rounds (easiest to find)
Rd1 GWS: Laird, Cameron, Atkins, Douglas, Milera, Betts
Rd2 Hawks: Jacobs, Sloane, Smith, Mackay, Crouch, Betts, Talia (he was stiff there)
Rd 3 Port: Sloane, Douglas, Walker, Otten, Laird, Lynch, Knight
Rd 4 Ess: Walker, Betts, Sloane Laird, Jacobs, Smith
Rd 5 GCS: Atkins, Sloane, M.Crouch, Laird, Lynch, B.Crouch
Rd 6 Rich: Sloane, M.Crouch, Jacobs, Lynch, Walker, Laird
And FWIW here were my mentions of CC in the GBU threads (to see if my memory aligns with my thoughts at the time):
Rd 1: Charlie Cameron - Be nice if he could kick the set shots, but other than that? Pfft A jet.
Rd 2: CC. Electric
Rd 3: No mention
Rd 4: No mention - but I didn't really mention anyone
Rd 5: No mention
Rd 6: CC wears the 23 perfectly.

Glad someone made this thread the heat he copped this year was ridiculously over the top. Didn't exactly play his best and could have been given a rest at some point but his issues were more execution than effort. Great to see him tear a game apart and such an important one in our clubs history. Come on one more Charlie.
Well lucky we didnt listen to guys with no footy nouse like yourself and drop him
Looks like a very good first 6 games!

As I said, the first 2 were very good, the next 4 pretty solid, and then bleurgh except for two games against the easy beat Brisbane and Freo.
CC thus far has very much been a teaser player - we always want more consistency than he gives us because while he is not McLeod, he is one of the few who can do a damn good impression when things click.
Maybe he is one who does take a bit more than 50 games? (hope not if he is off to the Lions - and my gut feeling is he will regress there)
Also good to recall he was one of the few who stood up last year in the final against Sydney. But I don't think we owe him an apology - the criticism of him began when he began playing poorly and that he has far too many frustrating games where you think he's thisclose to doing something special, but doesn't. The final against GWS was a eprfect case in point:
Here's a smattering of the GBU thread;
Bad: Cameron tries but geez.
Bad: Jenkins and Cameron can be frustrating so close but so far at times
Bad: Cameron: An ok game overall (excellent pressure!), but so many "nearly" moments. Frustrating
Bad: Cc although he put some good pressure early
Worst: I'll be the one to say it --- Cameron is a liability.
Good: - Charlie's intensity at the contest and speed.
Bad: - Charlie's disposal
Loved his game on Friday. But that's the standard I think many of him have been judging him by - that is what we've been wanting. Too harsh? Maybe, but I don't think anyone here thinks he should be judged by the standards of a depth player.
