I would have kept Cameron in just park him closer to goal cox won’t have much effect tonight I’ve got a feeling that’s all. Not feeling confident tonight something tells me gws Will play dirty

Past historical experience is what tells you that gWS will play dirty. Bringing Mumford in is a clear message about their intentions. Cox always has an impact, just by his very presence. The GWS defence has to deploy resources to ensure they neutralize him; hopefully we have thought well about selecting Cox and intend to use him in an intelligent fashion - not as a highly predictable key target, but mainly to create more of an aerial presence in our F50, and deflect the ball to ground level for our small forwards. Cameron had very little impact in our F50 last week, so bringing Cox in to replace him can't be a hindrance unless we play stupidly.

It’s not like the Brown brothers and Daicos are keeping out any decent players ( Treloar aside ) The sooner these kids get to fifty games, the sooner they become better footballers. You keep playing them while you’re winning and they’re contributing.
It was only last season, most on here had Daicos finished as a senior player.
Not everyone debuts as a superstar 🙄

If he saw Cameron as having anything to do with “electric chemistry” in Collingwood’s forward line, Cornesy was surely watching a different game. It may not be the right call to bring Cox in but it was the correct call to put Cameron out. But in our present team structure, dropping Cameron entails bringing in Cox because we have no one else on the list who, at this stage, can play FF and ruck.

I hope the rumour going around that Grundy is out is exactly that, a rumour.

Cameron would have been a poor selection tonight. Poor up forward and will be useless in ruck relief against Mumford.

Provided we don't get Cox centric, Cox is a better inclusion on all counts.

We have fielded a very strong side. In fact, put Treloar in that side (for whom I’m not sure) and we’d have the best side on the park since about 2012. I just hope they are ‘on’.

No late changes, say the AFL.
