The ruck absence hasn’t helped his cause, finding it hard to settle I’d say but if he doesn’t lift soon, he’s gunna be feeling the heat for a spot.

Yeah too early to call it he’s not the answer we were looking for thus far. I was a fan of getting him. Give it till seasons end.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

It's way too early. We recruited him to add to sustained success. One match winning grand final and its worth it and he is the type. Wait and see.

If he is fit against the Bombers- he plays back to let Frampton ruck.

I believe he has a tendon issue……….. will probably miss several weeks!

Can't imagine the ruck work helped prior to the injury.
Jeez some are bit tough on a new player, can't all be Bobby Hill

These sought of injuries usually happens in a tackle attempt and finger getting caught in jumpers of player he was tackling. It happened to De Goey in 2020 and he missed 9 games if remember correctly.

I was always skeptical of our pursuit of McStay, as he just didn't seem to be a really good player. But I've been wrong before, and I remember how few people expected Leigh Brown to do much when we recruited him back in the day. Now that he will likely miss several weeks out injured, he may find it difficult to win his spot back, once we have Cox, Cameron, Howe and (hopefully) Kreuger up and about.

Nevertheless, it is too early to be critical of McStay, as he hasn't really had much of a chance to play the role up forward he was recruited for. Hopefully, he recovers quickly and returns to play some great footy for us later in the season.

A lot of people were extremely critical of Cox even after he showed what he could do, now he’s first choice of fit!
But the one thing he does help is structure and Mihocek benefits from another option the defence has to worry about.
But because he replaced a player who was loved by some he’ll never win them over, especially when they refuse to accept McStay was a part of a large package to replace their former favourite player, who have all been crucial to us being 4-1.

Injury happens with 30 sec left first qtr McStay grabs Owens jumper as he had momentum up and pop!

Yep - pretty easy to speculate when our guy isn’t even playing at the moment. Can only be judged in about 3 years!
