Cam Howat missed out this week on a RS nomination. Went to Nathan Jones of the Dees. Hopefully he has a big game this week and we score two rising star nominations against the bombers in the one year lol.

Cameron Howat - senior or rookie list?
« Reply #18 on: August 30, 2006, 05:59:44 PM »
Has Howat done enough to earn a permanent spot on our senior list next year or will he go back to the rookie list?

IMHO I reckon he's played himself onto the senior list for 2007.

Very happy to say I was wrong  ;D  :thumbsup

Howat will get a permanent spot coz its an easy decision, the fact hes 20-24 on our list approx, is an indictment on the senior players behind him. Will play 2007 should survive to 2008 beyond that I dont know. In the last couple of weeks, players have started to focus on his left side and hes been caught afew times, afew disposals have also  gone astray...at RFC however thats par for the course for many on our list. Hes ok for 2 years...but?

Mostly agree with the assessment (probably rate him in the 24 to 30 bracket due to the quality & quantity of current injuries), and for mine Cam is in a shoot-out with Hyde & Tivva for the L/F linkage role.

Has superior speed & more consistant disposal than Hyde, and perhaps a little less hardness.

Is probably on par with Tivva for skills, hardness & speed, and just lacks some awareness which is probably a lack of experience at AFL level.

Cam has the basis of an AFL career, however really needs to work on R/H disposal and continually improve his speed & endurance to carve his own niche.

Done more than enough for an additional 1 year contract on the list as he has been significantly more impressive than Humm.

I think Humms gone, but hes more value than Rodan lol...if we are serious 8 players will leave punt road in the next 5 weeks. 2 have already gone, another 6 to go!

Have to agree there RT.

Problem is the 2 year contract for Rodan & his lack of trade currency.

Humm would be destined for the PSD wouldn't he ?

Was one of the reasons we didn't promote Howat because Newy is unlikely to be ready to play by the start of the 2007 season so Howat may get a senior game anyway?

Browny wasn't actually right to play games with his leg until the middle of the year. So if we are more cautious with Newy in hindsight we could put him on the long-term injury list and promote Howat for the first 8 rounds.

I like your thinking MT. I want to see Howat get more of a chance next season and easing Newmo back in to it and allow him to regain his confidence is a good thing. We don't want another Brownie. Win Win as far as I'm concerned. Go Cam! Make every post a winner!

Newman, Cogs or Thursty are all candidates for a late start.

The rookie rule, as an example, can Howat be elevated for Newman, then if Newman is fit, can Howat be elevated for an alternative player, say Cogs ?

Or can a rookie only be elevated for the nominated 1 single player per season ?
