I reckon he might be suffering from Nick Riewoldts problem.
Spends too much time running around in circles to get the ball, by the time he does he's stuffed and makes silly decisions because he is mentally and physically exhausted.
Not sure if it was the 1st game or 2nd game, but they flashed up km's run and Charlie was top 3 on the ground, and it was late in the 3rd quarter or even 4th quarter. There are like 15 mids on the ground, and he's running more than them.
I know its from yesteryear, but how good of a kick was Plugger? How many kms you reckon he ran?
Short bursts, lead, mark, kick a goal, repeat.
Our forward line has the best hands in the league. Why do we need them to run so many kms? Let them stay at home more, fly for marks and whatever they don't take have the little blokes feed off them.
If we want Charlie to be receiving the ball up around the wings as a hitup forward, just play him on a wing instead. He'll be in the same position of the ground, but doing less kms to do the same job, thus less fatigued. Yes, he's an athletic beast, but that doesn't mean we need to run him into the ground in every game!

It might be that Harry, Charlie and McGovern doesnt work, McGovern has probably taken some of Charlies ball down forward and twos company threes a crowd.
I might do what Krud suggested and our next coach Ross Lyon would do every now and then with Reiwoldt and play Charlie on the wing so he can run around and be part of the delivery service rather than be the end receiver...
Everybody has talked about Charlie being able to ply midfield and having that tall winger can be handy on the kick ins and its going to be a hell of shock for some little kid finding C. Curnow standing him on the wing....
McGovern showed he is ready to impact games and I think he should be the main target and we spread the forward line so he gets more one on ones.....

Yep. Brackets does this really curious thing for a CFC forward, he marks and kicks goals... this may take some getting used to.
Oh, and Levi... please selectors, no more.

McGovern's second quarter on the weekend was elite, but he was unsighted for the other 3 quarters

Our other tall marking target  in Gibbons seemed to be main man and our real tall forwards seemed up the field or out of position.....its bizarre how we lose games
or change winning formulas. McGovern was on that game and should have been fed the ball and space provided for him to work in, he is a reliable kick and
can work an opponent especially newbies like GC had down back.

Agreed EB, the Gov would/could have kicked 10 if he was given some space (by his own team mates) and the ball was directed to him frequently....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

The problem is EB1 they structure up off each other, so when you get kids like McKay and Charlie out of sorts they end up out of position leading towards the ball carrier, and it forks everybody up!
It's been that way three rounds in a row now, some with and some without Casboult, having the three talls is not working! It's not the same as having two rucks with one floating forward out of the midfield. The fact the rucks aren't really moving just zoning makes a huge difference, they don't drag defenders into a team-mates space!
Even so with our decision making I'm not sure what to think. Watch the replay, you see our mids and HBs kick the ball to the center of a three opponents zone, right over the top of a Carlton three forward zone. FFS, if McKay, Charlie and McGovern are in a triangle with clear space in between put the forking football in the middle of them, stop kicking it onto heads surrounded by defenders!
I'd start dragging blokes whenever they "kick at the player", they've got to start getting the message somehow!
If you want to kick on somebodies head, kick it on the head of the bloke dropping in front of McGovern or McKay and tell them to have no mercy!

They showed vision last night of all three of them leading and moving to the wrong spots. I wont believe for a minute that they were under instruction to leave Gibbons one out in the fwd line. To me, its key fwds pushing up the ground then not working hard enough to get back. Gov did go off with an ankle injury for abit so maybe he was restricted. Buggered if I know the players need to work each other out pronto.
