Hawks have played 14 great qtrs out of 16, just 2 shocking last qtrs. They're still going pretty well.

Charlie in to play midfield.

What’s the fascination with many who want to turn Charlie into a midfielder....I just don’t get it.

His main weakness imo is his disposal efficiency and his decision making when up the ground is questionable to say the least.

He is young and trying to learn his craft at being a key match winner forward-prefer he masters want he looks to be his nature game then wasting time playing him out of position.

We have young developing mids in Walsh Fish Dow SPS. They need to be given as much midfield time as possible imo.

It's where he played mostly as an u18. If you have a chance to strengthen it further, why not. We have depth in our forwards now so now reason he can't play on a wing. he can be a strong marking target coming out of defence. A powerful midfield wins you alot.

He would cost us goals with poor decisions. Good midfield groups are settled ones and one with clean ball users. Charlie is indecisive and turns it over way too much imo to risk unsettling a building midfield group who were drafted to play midfield.

Reckon opposition teams would much prefer Charlie lining up on a wing then deep forward too.

As I said in the other thread, Charlie didn’t play in the midfield at under 18 level.  He did play as a ruckman but I wouldn’t like to see him getting smashed in ruck contests.

His strengths are his marking and aerobic ability and his weaknesses are decision-making and lack of agility; not really midfielder attributes.

sure he's been off this year thus far

Um, what rubbish. Massive rubbish.

Just watching the first quarter of Hawthorn vs geelong and I think we might struggle next week.  This is a tough competitive scrappy pressure game and if its played similarly next week, it will take a bit of class to get us across the line.

Its winnable on paper, but we need to be mindful that Hawthorn have had a few injuries which have contributed to big losses.
