In reply to: pugsville 's message, "Rucked better than Cox on the night." on 23:00 27/04/25 Sun

Cameron isn't the one injured, its McStay, and frankly having watched a half ofnthe Cats ruck efforts vs Blues I'm not convinced we don't just have Cameron one out and Frampton covering Neale if he's used.

Reckon Long could at least hold ground for a couple minutes a quarter vs Blivsavs.

Just not sure Cox won't be a liability.

Someone above said he "halves contests" if by that they meant he lost practically every mark he went for before 3 quater time and was literally the sole point of the bulk of thier score launches then I guess that's true.

He had a poor game imo and Steene had a good one. I would reward the kid and give him a role on O'Sullivan who is a 19 year old kid with 7 games under his belt.

He can then take whichever of Blicsavs or Deckinig ruck for five minute bursts.

All of DeKonig, Blocks and O'Sullivan's are good enough in the air to nullify Cox and mobile enough to exploit him with pace coming out of defence, Steene can mitigate that.

Anyway, we'll see what unfolds I guess.

you are putting far too much emphasis on 1 VFL game against a modest inexperienced Essendon ruck -- Mark W, 10:19 28/04/25 Mon
- and all of this is not to say that I dont like Steene, -- Mark W, 10:24 28/04/25 Mon
  - VFL form can be tricky, experienced players use those games -- Rusty, 10:51 28/04/25 Mon
- Mark, I agree that West is a better forward and that Cox is a better ruck... -- collingwoodj, 11:47 28/04/25 Mon
Cox looks in great touch and contributed hugely to the VFL win. -- Spofforth, 11:47 28/04/25 Mon

  - Yes, contributed hugely. -- Spofforth, 12:47 28/04/25 Mon
  - Steene had a good game but will be required to sustain that effort over weeks... -- Chicken wing, 12:48 28/04/25 Mon

    - You lot have had me doubting my own eyes Bones so I rewatched the whole game... -- collingwoodj, 14:09 28/04/25 Mon
      - CJ we all see what our inherent biases demand at times -- BH, 15:26 28/04/25 Mon
Kpd rotating into the Ruck is difficult, and hurts structure -- Optimax, 13:48 28/04/25 Mon
