When the AFL flip flopped (yet again) on a rule, namely allowing defenders to once again put hands in the back of a forward (from 2019), that is when Cox became irrelevant again. He was allowed to use his giant frame in 2018 because defenders weren’t allowed to hold him off the ball with hands in his back. Now they simply stick their hands in his back and work him under the ball. His value is basically nothing again cos of the rule being removed.
Just like the Steve McKee rule and the capped interchange rule and the sub rule, we have been screwed yet again out of our strengths by the AFL.
It’s borderline cheating. “What does Collingwood do well? Hmm, what rule can we introduce to stop their potential domination?”

Can't get a game even when Cameron is dropped.
He doneski!!!!
The Reid bros are made of glass, both could go out in same game,! I wouldnt write off Cox just yet, looks like now Cameron is out of favour, but Reid is no real full forward, if Grundy needs ruck help, and the poor bugger sure does, then Cox is the likely one to help him out, we cannot have Grundy rucking entire games, especially in this four game turn around match games, he will get worn out.

Hard to know if players are rested or out of favor.
I was impressed by Cameron's performance only because he exceeded my early expectations ... doesn't demand selection, but is young and has done enough to keep his spot. We just need to look at Jonathon Ceglar to see not everyone needs to be AA to play... he will be ok. But if we were screaming out for a KP gun, he was never going to be IT. Not yet anyway.
I like Reid, he is good enough to be the AFL's best FF backup. He is my favorite as CHF with Checkers as 3rd. tall. (Reid will probably kick 6 tomorrow. lol )
Cox is by far our best option. Even on a bad day the bottom feeders get plenty of good opportunities. On his day, he can play deep, luring opposition to him. As a result, he does impact the opposition rebound, and by being a threat deep, he does create more room for us at HF.

Cox staying put in 2021
Looks like Mason has triggered the games requirement for him to remain a Magpie next year. Reports are he is on 550k per year.
FWIW for 2020 he is best 22 and our fwd line functions so much better with him in. Swap Cameron for JDG and we will have a potent enough fwd 6.
Next season though he should be shopped around assuming we can get some quality talls in the trade period. I’m concerned 550k is big overs but if he was to stay I think he does give us enough.[/url]

The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.
