not be annoying or anything but i think cox is actually quite important to our structure
- never gets out marked
- gets it to ground
- takes a tall defender
- accurate in front of goal
- ruck work isnt terrible
- gets free kicks coz defenders panic coz his height
- getting it to ground is the best part coz our small forwards are our best asset
Those statements have some truth, but I interpret them differently:

- never gets out marked – Can't mark
- gets it to ground – Can't mark
- takes a tall defender – So would another tall forward
- accurate in front of goal – Anyone is accurate 20 out, straight in front (would still like to see stats on that @Connoisseur )
- ruck work isn't terrible – Debatable
- gets free kicks coz defenders panic coz his height – Can't mark
- getting it to ground is the best part coz our small forwards are our best asset – Can't mark

I don't like bagging players (maybe I do) but have seen no real improvement in his game.

Collingwood Supporter. Key forward over the career Averaging 1.2 Goals and 0.54 behinds a game is just not good enough. His overall stats are horrendous. He cannot judge the flight of the ball, never has been able too.

But I will continue to support and hope he can het lucky and grab a few this year.

447/5 Neale, Starvevich, Sicily, Grundy, Ceglar

Really hoping for good rookie performances from Hill, King, Hamill, Mahony, Taylor, Budarick and Bennell today. Not only as i need at least a
5 on my field but I need them to not be dropped next week!

Whilst I agree with your can't mark theory , for him to bring it to ground we don't actually want him to mark it ?

So he is probably confused , do I mark it or bring it to ground ?

I am a Cox believer so maybe it is more about how poor Cameron is as a alternative , trying to find a positive.

It looks like we have 2 other rucks, Reeves who has been in the system a few years and Brooksby. I think both are a long way from AFL level though.

We should be playing a few more younger players, especially with no VFL this year. I hope they get their chance in coming weeks, especially if it is the compressed schedule they are looking at.

@Goodie's Guns seems to have the inside word on team selections, maybe he can enlighten you further - it's all guess work from my end.
No, didn't want to read that.
I was hoping HAW drop Ceglar to make my decision dropping him easier.
Ceglar can't play any other position except ruck. As a ruckman can score well against weak ruckmen, but poorly against good ruckmen. I rank him pretty low against this years ruckmen.
I cringe everytime I think of Ceglar playing Gawn next week.
Too many good Rookies to choose next week, who I expect to score more then Ceglar, so I really think Ceglar has to go. B Smith will be ready to trade in the week after.
