Simply because he doesn’t have the awareness and decision making to play in the midfield.
Charlie’s strengths are his marking and ability to drive the ball deep inside the forward 50 before the defenders are set. Those strengths are best deployed when he plays as high half forward.
If he is nullified by the best defender, McGovern and McKay should be dominating their opponents and forcing a change in match ups. That’s the frustrating thing for me; we’re allowing the opposition defenders to dictate the terms rather than making them try to counter our strengths.
