Gutted for McStay. Something to look forward to in 2024 though.
Either way still gutted for McStay

We’re not kicking big scores and he’s averaged two goals a game since he’s come back.
The only consolation I can come up with, is that if it is the Lions, Payne will miss also and that means McStays replacement should at least hold his own against a lesser opponent.
Yeah, dunno where we'll get the goals from. :(

If Cameron were in better form, we could play Cox forward more. But Cameron's in bad form, and Cox is doing well in the ruck...

Suddenly makes Ash J's broken arm much more significant.

Actually thought Cameron and Cox were pretty good on the weekend. Perhaps not their all time best, but better than they have been in the last month or six weeks.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

McStay is a two goal 4 mark a game guy. Think Cameron and Cox can achieve this as resting forwards vs recent times when either has been on the bench.
I love the Pies, hate Carlscum

The only real difference is that one ( McStay ) knows how to play the position that much better than either Cox or Cameron, it doesn’t matter ……. except it will on the day.
Some are a bit harsh on McStay. He still managed to kick two against the Dees after completing a concussion test. Then he took it right up to Taylor ( 2022 AA key defender ) and kicked two on him in three quarters.
McStay really hasn’t done much wrong at all since missing half the season with finger tendon surgery.
The other problem is that Cox is playing quite well in the ruck and part of that is because he is rested regularly. So based on the two ruck combination, that would leave Cameron to spend more time up forward but he can’t be trusted kicking at goal or marking anything overhead.

So sorry Dan; all those years a Lion and barely a soft tissue injury.

One of the hard luck stories of 2023, but was a big contributor in the lead up to the Grand Final.

I'm hoping he'll be highly motivated in 2024 to be a part of a Premiership tilt.

Ash Johnson. Frampton isn't a forward

What a disaster!
That is a real blow to the team as McStay's strength was a big asset to a relatively small forward line. Now that opens up a spot for Ash Johnston to cement a spot in the forward line and hopefully have a full season to flourish and be a consistent performer at the top level.
Also allows the likes of Reef McInnes, Aiden Begg and Nathan Kruger to step up in the pre-season with the aim of providing the marking target in our forward line.
Collingwood Domination. Envy of the Nation!

Man if we are relying on Johnson we are in trouble

Evidence this far …inconsistent doesn’t apply pressure

I feared when we didn't take a key forward in the draft we would come up short if we suffered injuries to key players. I understand the reasons given for taking who we took, namely that the two fall within the requirements of our game plan. However you need key forwards to win matches. Johnson isn't a key forward. Mihocek is 31 years old. If Begg or Kreuger don't come up next year we are in big trouble of defending our premiership. This need not have happened.

I said this to my mates as soon as we had to move ovals to Vic Park we are increasing our risk of injury. That ground surface is not fit enough for local footy sessions.
