Toast Welcome ANTHONY CAMINITI

[Stan_Darsh72]

Compare the output from Caminiti and Ben King 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, picking up players like Caminiti are part of getting flag threatening sides.

Look at Geelong, they have been the best at finding these sorts of players.

Reckon caminiti could make and awesome defender. Just saying

My wife was just sorting out her outfit for Sunday, and noticed the similarities between Hammer and this bloke ...

... couple more preseasons ought to do it - he already proved he has a badass streak in him - Alpha-KPF in the making ...

Got his little sticking out ears and hair perfect. His nose needs the full Nathan Burke to get the full effect

People were saying the same things about Sharman. Seemed to be the ultimate foil to Max at the time. I’d still look into Ben if the house is in order, ie. we aren’t compromising team balance on the whole.

But there certainly isn’t an urgency, and our current drafting strategy is already reaping rewards between Nas, Owens, Windy, Peris, Phillipou, Van Es, Hotton, Keeler, McLennan in the last two drafts alone. I won’t complain either way, chasing generational key forward twins, or keep bringing in quality young talent around the ground, six one, half dozen the other IMO.

Someone's gotta get that mascot on a banner in the cheersquad for the hammer. That's a winner!

Difference is, Sharman was never drafted.
Caminiti was on the was to being drafted when he did his ankle or whatever it was. So actually came from a higher base.

I mentioned in the media thread but I’ll add it here. Reported on channel nine that Caminiti has signed for three years.

So happy for the young fella. How much his life has changed in 4 or 5 months.

What a great story. Really happy for him.... and for the club.

What a great story. Really happy for him.... and for the club.

Looks like he could be a star if he ends up developing the way he's projecting. Hard to believe that he's not even played 10 games at VFL or AFL level.

 

[hayes]

Awesome news. Small sample size but my goodness he has been super impressive. Straight kick and he is a hell of an athlete. Kind of hard to believe with his attributes that he was just sitting there.

 

[Plugger35]

A good move to lock him away for a few more years as no doubt other clubs would have been interested in poaching him if he was left uncontracted.

 

[The Cobra]

Excellent news!

Caminiti, Owens, Windhager, NAS, Pou!

Haven‘t really seen Hotton,Keeler,McLennan & Van Es.

Looks like we finally have some young elite talent to really build a team around.

Just need to keep developing these guys & get continued improvement from our 22 to 25 year olds, plus some astute trading/drafting and we could really have something in the next 12 to 18 months!

Knowing what the League does now, where would Hammer have gone in last year's draft?
I feel he would not be out of place in the top 20.
So if this is true, we basically got two very good first rounders last draft.

Happy Days!

Good length contract, probably locking him in before he starts kicking big bags, smart move

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

I saw Hammer this morning pulling out of his parents drive way.

In a nice little unassuming hatchback that will surely be upgraded now!

Congrats Hammer!

Congratulations Hammer and what a brilliant start to a career! The length and timing of the contract suggests the club believe Hammer is a future key forward of quality. We really couldnt ask more of the kid even if he was a No 1 draft pick, he has been sensational given where he has come from.
