He also needed other pieces to allow him to reach potential: he needed Grundy gone so he could play ruck and not forward, and he needed Cameron so that he didn't have to be "the man" for the entire game. 100% no Cox no flag, but I think Cameron has a role as well. I don't think it matters...

Darcy, you're a premiership ruckman! Our Cox/Cameron 2 ruck system was instrumental to our success this season and once again it got us over the line in the biggest game of the year. Really happy for him as he has stuck with it and gone from Sydney castoff to a Collingwood flag. Remember when...

I kinda like the collars on the Saints jumpers. It's a cool look

The Cameron Cox duo had a goal, 17 disposals, and 48 hitouts. Gawn had no score, 27 or 29 disposals, and only 31 hitouts. Gawn put up great numbers around the ground but was soundly beaten at his actual job (being a ruckman) by our guys. I would rather my rucks put up good ruckman numbers...

I didn't see it in the OP, but seeing as we just won the Minor Premiership, should you add a category for "Minor Premierships"?

Bigfooty: he had 2 bad games in a row! Send him to the VFL so he can fight to not be delisted; what's this bloke ever done for the club anyway? The actual club: Yeah he's actually kinda important for us, let's sign him for 2 more years. Congrats Mason!

I keep intruding because I really like Jaidyn. I hope you guys don't mind and I have watched almost every north game since he left Indeed he is doing his job. He's at 11.5 disposals and 1.5 goals and 1.5 tackles per game this season. For comparison Eddie Betts' career averages are 12...

On the one hand it should be a comfortable win. On the other hand it has the makings of a trap gane. Our form has been a smidge down from peak performance, the Suns are desperate to stay in the 8. That said I just don't see how they do it. The game plan for beating us is high pressure and...

On our board there's a bit of talk about how this is also Mason Cox's 100th game. I realize they couldn't be further apart in terms of type of player or background, but I couldn't help noticing that Cox is going at 10.6 Disposals per game with about a goal per game. Steevo is doing 10.5 at a 1.5...

The one I think you're thinking of, the Carlton defender had Cox's arm tied up against his body; Cox only had 1 hand to compete and on the broadcast it seemed like one where if he didn't mark it the umpire was going to pay a free, since the whistle blew before Cox actually caught the ball.

Seems silly to me. Technically it is high but they both push and shove and Cox being 30cm taller means his shove is higher. Any time the player being "caught high" has that pause for the realization 'oh he touched my face.' And then the reaction is "Umpire! he touched my face he touched my...

To me it was apparent early last year if not before that whatever Grundy brought to the table was no longer what we needed. That's not a knock on him, but especially as we switched to a more aggressive gameplan (product of the stand rule perhaps?) Grundy's taps to himself were not having the...

The purpose of the comp is to crown a premier, and for better or for worse right now we are the hot ticket to do so. Commentators have to talk about something, and GWS was not providing that in this game. Like it or not we look like one of the best teams at this point. Long season ahead, a...

With the 'back to the 9' rule I don't see much playing on from behind the goals getting pinged for a behind, since no one seems to need to play on from back there. I recall it happening to Maynard back in 2018. Watching old highlights I kinda miss the "kick it to yourself" after a behind... not...

I believe the current price is $20 US for any one round (I happen to be in the US so thats how my price is quoted). You can also subscribe for a month or a year, but be advised it won't work once you are back in Australia. I watch all matches with a watchafl subscription included in my overseas...
