Caminiti

[CQ SAINT]

Who was better against the Dogs? Caminiti or Phipipou?

I think they both played out of their skins but the comparison is a strange one.
I think they both stretched their opponents but Phillipou doesn't need to do much to impact. Technically, he was outstanding.

stats wise Caminiti was better, Matteas got an extra goal, I'd say Camminiti also looked like he had a bit more of an appetite for body work, had a few more CPs too.

Yes, Caminiiti is a key forward, he'd not have played well without contested possessions, that's for sure.

9 marks in his second game, playing as a KPF as a teenager.
If was a top 10 pick we would be pretty happy right now.
Showed more than the 2 bulldogs KPFs taken at pick 1 and 2 in 2020 and 2021 respectively

Spot on! Was saying the same thing to my mates. This kid has it. His number 1 quality which is essential as a KPP at this level is he’s bloody aggressive at the ball and he doesn’t fumble. Id go as far as to say he’s the most exciting KP fwd I’ve seen at the Saints since Roo

[The Fireman]

the pick of the bunch

He also moves so well. Excellent agility. So he's not just a marking target but he's a playmaker as well. A few times I've noticed his ability to make a split second decision and use his agility to evade and hand off. Extraordinary that he was overlooked until we came calling.

[The Fireman]

with those ears he should get more air time over the packs.

[Devilhead]

He was interviewed saying he broke his leg just before the draft in his draft year chasing a mate at school

Was predicted to go late or rookie but that incident put things on hold.

I was rapt that he took that shot beyond 50 - he backed himself on the run and he nailed it - this confidence and swagger we have been missing for far too long

A decade of King Caminiti Owens and Phillipou roaming the forwardline is salivating - just need a couple of electric dynamo smalls and opposition teams won't know what to do

Peris has a will to succeed second to none. Just ask his mum.

More so than Max King? Wow.

In my opinion yes. Max is genetically more gifted and could be anything, BUT he still ducks his head going for marks and just doesn't have that natural aggression. I've got no doubt he'll be a 200+ gamer and an excellent AFL footballer. Just reckon after 2 AFL games this kid could be anything. He's barely done a pre-season. To think we suddenly have a CHF and FF for the next 10 years with tall athletic mids/fwds in Phillipou and Owens. The mind boggles considering we couldn't even get our #1 pick right 8 years ago.

The best thing that ever happened to the saints in 12 years is all these injuries. Suddenly youngsters are playing games and showing us the future. I haven't been this excited about the Saints since 2004

[CQ SAINT]

Caminiti has been instant, albeit delayed from his draft year. The kind of injured kid you make promises to. His impact against the Dogs shouldn't be overestimated but when you look at the way he went about it, he is certainly one we will all enjoy watching.
I tend to agree with Riewoldt for impact,SO FAR, and he is in good company when we look back at our forward who had instant impact. Lockett, Loewe and Rod Owen, come to mind.

Jason Heatley was pretty handy too..another with instant impact!

[King Max]

Am I the only one who let out an involuntary “Caminiti, you beauty” when he kicked his first goal?

Sheez shouldn't we let the dust settle on the last instant hero before we anoint his successor.

I'm not saying we shouldn't get excited about the young guys getting a game but let's give the kid at least one full season before we go mentioning his name in the same sentences as Lockett?

And the opposition haven't had a good look at him and worked out how to play him. He'll he hasn't even worked thst out. I hope we don't create Sharman Mk2 and over hype the kid.

[The Fireman]

I have seen a sample size of caminiti to hype him

[wally]

Hopefully he can be as reliable / good as say Miacheck for Coll. even in his first game he was competing and bring ball to ground perfect partner for Membrey & king

I agree with you Vort. I am aware I am expressing myself, using the vibrations I'm feeling in the short hairs that rose up on my forearms, every time he went near the ball.
His possession count is not the impressive bit for me.
It's the athleticism he exhibited in his latest match, and has, since he first stepped out on the grass at RSEA merely a moth ago.
Those vibrations, fell familiar, and I'm not usually hesitant to share my intuition for fear of looking silly later, so I appreciate the advice and take note what I am risking.

All I can do is try my best to help out in that regard and provide guidance on calm and rational free thought but I must admit some days I get exhausted.
