Speaking with Raydan about how much I have enjoyed Cowan's rise to prominence and he made an interesting observation. The reason why Zac Williams was trialled up forward was as a direct result of how settled & reliable Cowan has been at half-back, they couldn't keep playing Williams there either. This move forced Zac into becoming a better player in a position none of us had considered he was even suited for, a huge win-win for everyone.
How exactly does one slam their own head into the turf?
If that was the case, Geelong would be employing a biomechanics expert to get Dangerfield off his suspension.
Watch it again, Walsh’s arms are pinned and he has no control as centripetal force propels his head in an accelerating arc into the turf.
As for the Williams-Cowan scenario, Cowan’s form in the Magoos would have played a part. However, his opportunity arose because Williams put his hand up to play as a defensive forward and his logical replacement in defence, Cincotta, was given the tagging role. It’s actually a win-win-win.
