Impact on the new club:
Brodie Grundy will continue to lead the Collingwood ruck division in 2020. There is no world in which Darcy Cameron surpasses him.
I also don’t see him playing alongside him in the forward line. The Magpies forward line is mostly made up of a damaging combination of smalls and medium-sized forwards. While Collingwood does play one key tall in Mason Cox, the forward craft of Cameron isn’t strong enough yet to dethrone him from the best 22.
Darcy Cameron has arrived at the club purely to bolster the depth and insurance of the rucks should an injury happen to Grundy.
Impact on the old club:
The Sydney Swans are stocked nicely for ruck stocks. In 2019 it was Callum Sinclair, and latter Hayden McLean took the lead role for the club while Michael Knoll was drafted during the midseason.
The Swans also welcome back Sam Naismith returns from a knee injury making Darcy Cameron surplus to the clubs needs.
In terms of his departure from the club, it’s minimal to Sydney.
Fantasy Summary:
He’s been a staple of our ruck benches for the past few seasons, and that won’t change anytime soon. The trade of Darcy Cameron to Collingwood should only further enhance coaches plans to use him.
For those choosing to start with Brodie Grundy, you can ‘handcuff’ Darcy to him. Meaning should any short term injuries hit you’ll be covered immediately without having to make a trade.
He’s had limited opportunities at the elite level (One game) and scored in the mid-’20s. Even if DC does play, don’t expect much. Perhaps you’ll be better suited at choosing an RUC/FWD cash cow option.
