Point with Collingwood is they have become competitive with very low profile moneyball talent recruiting and that their ruck division is made up of Cameron a retred nobody and Cox a wild shot in the dark rookie from another country who had zero background in the game.
Cox isnt a great ruckman but is a giant who is hard to get around and also when he plays forward is hard to mark against so the ball is on the deck a lot and thats where Collingwood want it.
Cameron is very mobile and ideal for the around the ground role and can also rest forward and isnt a one trick pony ruckman.
Both these players were not risks at all, they were low cost gambles at worst...picking a ruckman with a top ten pick is a risk or having them on big contracts and then they get injured is a bigger risk.
With both of them out the Pies are vulnerable and while both are not elite players its messed with the Collingwood system and I can see them losing a few games vs the better teams.
