I think we beg to differ. Eventhough l think the conditions didn't suit Cox, some of his contested marking attempts were very poor, and was easily outmarked numerous times, even by smaller opposition. He definitely looked short of a run, so didn't really see the point of his inclusion. We held back Treloar to give him another run in the scratch match, Cox should have been in the same boat.

Do you mean being in contention? I much prefer that to the previous 4 seasons.
So your happy to just be there abouts? Shouldn't we look to improve to take the next step?
I believe it was our own coach who said: "If your not moving forwards, you are going backwards in the AFL".
Yeah other then size and clean hands in close I don't think the comparison is that apt.
I actually think Sier (if he can get consistency and want) offers a bit more athleticism and drive with the ball/pace.
But obviously Kennedy has his pluses like hardness at the contest, bollocking ability in packs, consistency and willpower to back up time and again contest after contest, which made him a champion and areas that Sier lacks.

I’ll give this season a bit longer before I give it up.

At least we can't blame the free kick count - 25 to 16
It's so frustrating to watch us dominate, keep the ball locked inside our attacking 50 for 15min and the ball rebounds once down the other end where an opposition forward has ONE crack and nails it from 55m.
We have desperately needed a quality KPF for years. I would forgo Grundy to secure someone like Cameron
No,I think we should all give up now and run around screaming with our hands up in the air.That’s how it goes at Bigfooty after a loss.

We had a poor game. Hopefully we play better next week.
Not really. Just one.

Could be worse. We could suck like WC.
Ruckman are overated. GWS have a guy out of retirement, on one leg and yet we have lost twice now with supposedly the best Ruckman in the comp. Mummy (like other oppositions) just stay down all night as an extra player. It is becoming a trend by other coaches to strategically conceed the tap work. Maybe when Grundy's on the bench we just go without a legitimate ruckman and load up with bigbodied midfielders.
That Sier highlights video is great viewing - thanks for posting it. He really adds something special to our midfield. His speed over first 5-10m, elite vision and clean hands plus penetrating kicking are all much in need. His upside is so much greater than Wills, C.Brown, Phillips and several others. BRING IN THE BEAR!!! (And leave him in.)

exactabloodymondo- kick straight (did we have 2 or 3 posters?), then stop gifting them goals through dumb freak*n turnovers and we win - not pretty but 4 points and confidence

No question about Sier's potential and that his ceiling is far higher than Wills, but just right now I don't see such a massive gap between the two that posters on here are saying exists.
