Message to SOS…sign Caminiti up NOW!
I was seriously impressed by ‘the kid’ today..not just his pack marking but his tenacity at ground level.
Heard a whisper Carlton are keen on him so no time to procrastinate.
Other notable observations:
* Higgins was very lively and his field kicking excellent
* Sharman continues to impress with his improved endurance and bigger physique
* Webster very creative with handball
* best I’ve seen Zac Jones look in a good while..looks stronger and did use the ball better by foot..helps when he goes with his first instinct
* Owens took a spectacular mark..he’s definitely one to watch this season, his work rate is enormous…was pinch hitting ruck to Marshall
* best I’ve seen big ‘Moose’ train..really cracked in and was competitive against big Ro.
* field kicking still a concern..too many missed targets
* Membrey terrific after being absent for a couple of weeks but did go off after landing awkwardly in a marking contest.
* Coffield has ramped up his training but wearing the Fluro cap (no contact).
* Phillipou didn’t train but I’m told he’ll play in the intra club next Friday morning..had a bit of calf tightness!

Re: Message to SOS…sign Caminiti up NOW!
I agree on Caminiti, hopefully the club (SOS) lock him away as quickly as possible. Carlton have a free list spot after they missed out on the ex Suns player Markov.

Re: Message to SOS…sign Caminiti up NOW!
Really grateful for your training udates Sm65, I would not have known anything about Caminiti if you hadn't told us. Plus the impressive form of Owens in a successon of your reports. Would be great if he actually plays like he trains, the team needs strong, tall, hard nut running players like Owens and hopefully Phillipou, the type that take the game on and turn games in their favour.....Saintmike65 wrote: ↑Fri 10 Feb 2023 3:18pm I was seriously impressed by ‘the kid’ today..not just his pack marking but his tenacity at ground level.

Re: Message to SOS…sign Caminiti up NOW!
I just read that Carlton signed a ruckman (Hudson) with their last list spot, so hopefully that leaves a free run to pick up Caminiti.

"The Club has also placed Sam Philp on the inactive list, leaving one list spot available which can be filled before the SSP deadline next Wednesday or at the mid-season draft."

Re: Message to SOS…sign Caminiti up NOW!
Looking forward to the 15/02 cut off to see how the SSP pans out.
Carlscum didn't give a F*** about Caminiti until we trialed him, must have made them wonder what they didn't see.

Re: Message to SOS…sign Caminiti up NOW!
Caminiti is built a bit like Wayne Carey with that longer torso and shorter legs. That lower centre of gravity really helps players, so if he can become half the player we have a winner.
3 days to sign him Saints, lets get it done.

He's been signed.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

" St Kilda will offer rookie Anthony Caminiti a spot on its list following a standout trial at the club last week
By Josh Gabelich - Just now
ST KILDA is set to add Anthony Caminiti to its rookie list ahead of the pre-season supplemental selection period deadline, following a standout trial at Moorabbin on Friday.
The 19-year-old trained with the Saints for the first time on Monday, didn't attend the club's community camp in Wangaratta mid-week, before returning to RSEA Park on Friday, where he produced a dominant match simulation session.
AFL.com.au understands that Caminiti was offered a contract before he left the club on Friday, with the paperwork to be completed on Monday.
With St Kilda searching for key forward depth following long-term injuries to Max King, Jack Hayes and untried youngster Matt Allison this pre-season, the Saints invited the teenager to train with the club last week, after releasing former Bomber Josh Eyre.
Caminiti couldn't have done much more to impress new coach Ross Lyon and recently appointed list manager Stephen Silvagni in the Saints' most extensive match simulation (4 x 15-minute quarters) block of the summer to date, taking more than a handful of contested grabs and kicking a few goals from set shots in just his second session at the club.
While Caminiti will take time to build up his conditioning, the 196cm mobile tall forward has the raw tools – strong, overhead marking ability, leading patterns and goal sense – that could see him play senior football in 2023.
The Carey Grammar product represented Victoria at under-12 level but didn't put his name on the radar of AFL recruiters until he dominated a handful of APS games in 2021, earning a shot at the Northern Knights from there, where he kicked five goals on debut to earn a combine invite off the back of just three NAB League appearances.
A syndesmosis injury impacted Caminiti's 2022 campaign, restricting him to 11 NAB League appearances, but an impressive final against Gippsland Power was another reminder to recruiters of his talent, after attracting interest ahead of the Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
Caminiti had joined Carlton's VFL program during the pre-season where he featured in several sessions with the AFL squad. It is understood that the Heidelberg product held his own against Blues star Jacob Weitering earlier this year, before securing an invite from the Saints.
St Kilda signed former first-round pick Liam Stocker last month after he was delisted by Carlton following 28 games across four seasons at Princes Park. The Saints trialled Eyre across December and January before a hamstring injury ended his trial.
After experiencing success via the pre-season supplemental selection window last year – Hayes made his AFL debut in round one, weeks after being signed, and played five of the first six games before an ACL tear wiped out his season – could St Kilda enjoy more in 2023?"
