Cameron only plays if one of Cox or Mihocek (or Grundy) don't play. The likelihood of that happening early without an injury to one of them is pretty low.
For mine this is looking like a season where the initial wave of bench rookie cash gen will be smaller and there might be a bigger second or third wave, with a lot of very likely looking types who might not immediately get a game straight away on the radar.
Early success may very well depend on hitting the mark on as many value premos as possible and navigating the overpriced premo minefield, leaving more cash for potentially productive MP's and rookies even if the asking price is a little higher on them.

As a Collingwood supporter I'd be shocked if Cox wasn't named round 1, unless it's deemed that he isn't good to go fitness-wise.
Even in that situation Cameron's job security would be low because Cox is still best 22 for us at the moment.
The one thing in Cameron's favour is Reid getting another lowwr-leg niggle, which removes one obstacle from his path to an AFL debut in the black and white.

Cox pisses me off. For every one good game you get 3 ****e ones. Yes he can take a grab but he can also ground every ball also which at times also isn't a bad thing. Pies need reliability and consistency there I think, will be interesting. Everyone's caught up still in the fairy tale of a tall American soccer player with handy social media skills but one day we'll start judging him on his actually AFL ability.
I think the Pies will still go in with Cox even if Cameron kills it again this week but I still think he'll get games early in the season because I'm not confident Cox takes his game to another level.

Greaves could really hurt me, Hawthorn are not a team who typically give young rookies a prolonged run at it but people are saying Greaves is replacing Imprey while he is injured (if this is true) I can understand why they would need someone to fill that role, a saw a few Hawks games last year and thought that Impreys run off of HB/up the wing was very underrated by non Hawks fans, I will probably have to select him if named R1.
