No love for Anderson?

If just 1 of Cameron or Xerri line up Round 1 that would be awesome

Start 1 at F6/8 and the non playing one at R3, having both a loophole and DPP

If both started, wowee - but even just 1 of them would be huge - wouldn't need to field a low scoring forward rookie too (Expect these guys, if playing, to score better than all of the other forward rookies we'll likely have)

Unfortunately dreaming RD - but agree with you

[_wato]

How will they likely be better scorers than fwd rookies when they both sit behind Grundy and Goldy? They’ll be lucky to play 5-10 mins of ruck a quarter. Their scores will be heavily influenced by goals as well.

Because Cameron/Xerri will score better than King/Georgiades/Brander/Rankine as their limited ruckwork and forward scoring ability will prevail - in our opinion

Exactly. They're both much older and developed bodies too

I'll take the tall mature aged forward/ruc who's spending a bit of time in the ruck, vs the 18-19 year old forward who'll barely step outside their 50

Ok have I missed something?

Do people think Xerri and Cameron are actually going to play?

Xerri has to be more of a chance when Grundy comes back it will be between Cameron and Cox and Cox looked pretty good yesterday Cameron will get his chance but think they will start with Cox , the answer might be clearer when we see who gets picked in their last Marsh game.

I think cameron might take Reids roll high half forward

[IntegralX]

Is putting together a team with Williams-xerri-Cameron as the rucks a viable strategy this season you think?

I've been tossing around r2 permutations with Naismith and those 3. But you need Grundy for the doubled captain score

Maybe but that means basically 3 rucks ? Reid if he stays fit is a better FWD.

Ben Brown is apparently dealing with an injury, which might help Xerri and Mason Cox is rubbish as a ruck - Cameron can play ruck and forward and was huge on the weekend

Not saying their huge chances, but they're definitely in the mix and some sort of possibility to play Round 1

Either way, I'd be taking them over any other fwd rookie

Grundy’s minutes might get eaten into.  :o
