He and Tim "King of Ruckmen" English have each played 7 games this season. Here's the comparison:

Cameron is doing way more than English in virtually every category. If he were playing in a better team, the difference would, no doubt, be even more startling.

Fascinating comparison.

Cameron certainly not getting the plaudits compared to English.

The ever increasing value of Cameron

Post by BazBoy »

This man has bit by bit become a very important part of our side

Goes about his work with a methodical approach adding value to both ruck & forward line

Unassuming but very effective “team “ player

Didn't think he did much tonight, apart from the last few minutes

5K 3HB 3M 0.0 2T 8HO 1I50 2CL 3CG 1FF 2FA

Wasn't a ruck, wasn't a forward

What am I missing?

Yep, thought he had a bit of a shocker, but the ability to stamp his name on the game late after an arvo to forget stands him in great stead I would say

I'm convinced he is good enough but I'm not sure he goes close to what a happy Mason would offer (when we needed him) under a fresh hungry coaching group.
Ideally this eventuates and we have the 3 of them at top form in 2022.
I'd Like to see That !

Cameron was tewrible for 118 minutes.
Good on him for sticking at it.

‘You’re our guy’: How Cameron became a premiership ruckman
When Collingwood recruited Darcy Cameron at the end of 2019, he’d played just one AFL game.

Darcy Cameron’s 2023 stats:

* Ranked #1 at Collingwood for hit outs
* Career high 45 hit outs in Round 19 v Port Adelaide
